@HoppyUK: Definitely, I just worry it's an issue with not just this filter, but any filter on this lens. I've checked the threads over and over and everything looks fine, but if the filter is going on slightly off-level then it would produce the same effect right? And rotating the filter...

You're right if it's the filter, logically this should be the case. What doesn't fill me with confidence is the fact that rotating the filter doesn't cause the blur to rotate :( The mystery continues.

I had a similar thought, but after searching online I found people using longer lenses than my own without issue.

@Martyn... How come the filter is fine on my other lenses? Wouldn't you expect it to be a problem on all of them? @Flash In The Pan Very slightly, the best way I can explain it is, ironically, comparing it to shake. At f8 it's like it's being shook slightly less of a distance than at f2.8...

7dayshop; apparently a rebranded filter from a bigger brand, just at a lower price. On my other lenses it's almost believable too.

At f8 it's still pretty noticeable.

I'm loath to spend money on a better filter when there is nothing to say that it's not the lens itself. None of my other lenses exhibit this issue when used with the filter, and without pixel peeping it's hard to see any issues on my other lenses. @NikkiA: I don't, not at 77mm anyway. To...

1/800 with filter: 1/800 without filter: Don't know what more I can do to prove to you that this isn't camera shake. I'm the first to admit that it looks like shake, and that was initially what I put it down to, but after testing and testing I get the exact same results, filter off...

Mirror lockup is on (mentioned in first post). Knocked the ISO right up, shutter speed was faster than 0.5 seconds. Still that horrible blur all over it. Edit: Using flash and the issue is still there. It's not shake.

I wish this lens had VR! Nope, no VR on this or my other lenses

Normally I'd agree but I was using a wireless release, even though I did do it again thinking the same. The above problem was replicable every single time. Filter off nice and sharp, filter on what appears like shake. Edit: While I'm at it it's probably worth mentioning I decided to manually...

On a whim I picked up a CPL from 7dayshop, I figured at the price it was worth a shot and to be fair it's not too bad at all... except when I use it on my 80-200 AFD. I've tried the filter on my Tokina 11-16 and 28-70 and the results are brilliant for the price, however put it on my 80-200...

I've a bit of an issue with getting sharp photos when manually focusing, normally it's not anything big but today trying to do some macro work has left me nothing short of frustrated! I adjust the diopter but never seem to get it right, how should I go about adjusting it to make sure it's...

Thanks for the replies guys. I didn't realise there was a board dedicated to film, the Android app was a bit awkward! @Nawty: 3 of my lenses are but my UWA isn't suitable for FX apparently, either way the other 3 lenses are all FX and have the aperture dial on too. @demonicangelz: Both...

I'm interested in playing with film but have only a limited budget (£40) to get a body. It's hard to find information about most of the film bodies going on eBay so I was wondering if there was any bodies that would be recommended at my budget. Also, is there any sites that would be helpful for...
