Filter and cap for M.Zuiko 9-18

[aleksanderpolo]

For those who have the lens, what filter do you use? Do you need to use the slim filter to minimize vignetting? And if so, does the original cap still fit on top of it? Or do you need to get a different cap? I will use a hood on the hood bayonet too.

I use a HOYA 52MM Circular Polarizing Filter. It's not designated slim, and it doesn't vignette at all. I'm able to just use the lens cap that came with the 9-18mm to snap on the filter front (doesn't sit quite all the way, but perfectly sturdy). Works great!

You have to be a bit aware of how the filter is oriented at the widest angle especially, but I think it comes out pretty evenly at 9mm:

Thanks for the info. I think I am going with the new slim one with filter thread.
