Circular polarising filters?
I've stumbled on a mention of this lens having focus problems with a cpl filter attached?
Is this true?

see thread below

an ebay seller selling Jacobs brand cpl filters also mentioned there would be problems if you used this filter on the EF 70-200 F4L also!!
i don't want to go spend £30 + on a filter if it'll turn a great lens into a lemon!!!
 
Nah, nonsense.

All longer lenses are particularly sensitive to low grade filters (focal length magnifies imperfections) and we've seen it often enough on here.

Cheap filters are usually a bad idea, and can be very bad on longer lenses.
 
I had HOYA Green CPL, at 70mm it will create heavy vignetting... Be aware of the cheap stuff ;)
 
Well mine is fine Hoya Pro1 came from Amazon no problems.

Ive got a Hoya Pro 1 polorizer and not had a problem on my Canon 70-200mm F4L, get yourself a top CPL, that lens deserves it!

had a Hoya Pro 1 67mm CPL, but sold it with my 17-85!! Doh!

Usually get good filters, made the cheapo mistake so never again! my other cpl's are;

62mm Sigma EX DG....brilliant filter
77mm Marumi super DHG...also brilliant
Got both the above second hand from ffordes around the £20-30 mark.
Can't afford new at the mo.
