Bronica 40mm PE Lens - Does it vignette with standard filters

[andrew.roos]

Does anyone know if a single standard filter like the B&W non-slim range will cause vignetting on the Bronica 40mm PE lens (62mm thread) ? In other words, do I need to use the more expensive slim filters with this lens?

I've searched APUG but not found an answer.

Thanks,
Andrew

I've never seen any on my images.
I just checked mine anyway by mounting a standard filter and looking at the corners on the ground glass with the lens stopped all the way down, then with it wide open and saw no evidence of vignetting. I then looked through the camera from the corners of the film plane with the lens open (of course) and saw no difference with the filter on or off. I next tried with two standard filters stacked and saw nothing on the ground glass, but looking through from the corners of the film plane could see a bit of the second filter.
I think even a screw-in polarizer would still be thin enough.

Thanks lxdude, much appreciated! My 40/4 is on it's way.

I have the MC version and never experienced it. I use the 40mm more than any of my others as it is a very good lens.
