I've been using Formatt Hitech filters for a few years with their holder (both old and the newer one) as well as their adapter rings. Until recently the widest lens I had was my 24-70 but I now have a 16-35. On my 24-70 I don't notice any vignette but on my 16-35 I do up until 20mm. Is there any rings/holder that has no vignette that will take my 100x100mm filters? What do you guys recommend?
 
On hitechs website they recommend purchasing the direct fit adapter ring if you are using the firecrest filter holder. This reduces the overall length of the filter ring lens adapter and polariser holder because you aren’t adapting from your lens ring size to 82mm then screwing on the 82mm polariser holder part. You’re going from your lens ring size straight onto the polariser with no in between stage.

It’s explained towards the bottom of this page. Your lens isn’t listed so may still get some vignette.

I did not know that was a thing! I’ll check it out :)
