I see you went with that, did it work out well for what you needed?

I think that is due to the CPL itself. If you purchase a better quality filter that is thinner this won't happen.

Huh?
Of course it's to do with the filter, read my comments... Where else would produce dark edges in the shape of the CPL lens, especially if they aren't there when the filter isn't installed...
The problem is the wide angle lens, nothing to do with the thickness of the glass.

I don't think it's the thickness of the glass.
Just how thick the magnetic strip is on the filter itself.
Here's a pic of magnetic FineVu filter on the left and a threaded Polaroid one on the right. Notice how the finevu circumfrance is smaller.
I had thought of that when considering that camera. Definitely a down side. I am still wondering why anyone would go to all that trouble to reinvent the wheel.jamesbcd said:I'm not disputing that thinner glass is better.
Edit: Just had a quick search, and thinner glass may solve the problem. Finding a magnetic one that will attach to the CR500 is another problem though, as it doesn't have the threaded lens.![]()
