Another beginner question for you all,
I'm considering buying the Fader ND filter of ebay for the gh1 stock lens with 67mm thread and zeiss with 55mm thread. Now someone had mentioned that it is a good idea to get a bigger filter to reduce vignetting/ or something of the like on the gh1 so I am looking at the 72mm thread one with 77mm front glass or maybe the next one up. What I like about this particular product is it gives me the flexibility to adjust from ND2 to ND400 on the fly, letting me experiment and understand the use of ND filters a bit more before I become pedantic about image quality.
My question here is will I have any issues if I purchase a set of step up rings and combining them, kinda creating an ever growing cone hood depending on how much i need to step up as apposed to a specific step up ring say 55to72 that is a lot thinner in profile. Should I just buy two separate filters to match each lens size?
thanks again.
