S3 + UV + Wide Angle

[DSent]

I was thinking...is it ok to put my Raynox 6600 wide-angle converter on top of the UV filter (52mm) ?

Will this cause vignetting or some sort of distortion ?

It's just that I don't like to always remove my UV filter first before putting Raynox 6600.

Thanks.

From my understanding the effect of the filter will be inhibited or made void by placing it behind the lens. Secondly odds are the camera lens already possesses a sufficient amount of UV filtration. So in practical terms the only reason to use a good UV filter would be to protect the lens and in your application even that would be defeated. Nice lens choice though... hth

Edit :The simplest thing to do would be to buy a seperate extension adapter for your wide angle lens.

Thanks.It won't mount that way...the Raynox will fall off and you'll break it!

There's an easy solution to your problem...do what we S2 veterans do...just get another adapter and leave it permanently attached to the Raynox. When you want to mount it, take off the entire adapter/UV filter you currently have attached and just replace it with the Raynox/adapter combo that was already set-up and waiting. It's called "bayonet mounting" and it's a real time saver. No more screwing and unscrewing filters! Definitely worth the price of an extra adapter! ;) :cool:

Hey..I see that XiaLo already beat me to it!

Thank you for the suggestions. I was thinking about getting another converter, and now you really convinced me.
