IMO you should put it on last... Put it on before will increase the distance between the camera's lens and the WA converter creating more vignetting!
... However why do you need to put it on at all? Unless it's for protection since it's close to a UV and any glass will do that (ie the WA attacment perform some of that function already)! ![]() |

Filters are always applied to the end of a lens. You want the filtered light to pass through the lens before being imaged onto the film plane. Besides, I don't think that your camera will be able to accept the filter onto the camera body without the lens attached first. (But I could be wrong, 8)).

So.. how does one screw a filter on a bayonet mount (found on the camera body of many cameras?)

They are really small, and in the case of my mirror tele they are put into a sliding "tray" about 2/3s the way back.

There's plenty of digi cameras that need an adaptor to add on lenses. eg with a 37mm. (not everyone has a digital SLR)
Then there's lots of lens adaptors that have 37mm threading. if you've got a 37mm filter, it's quite conceivable to add the filter before the lens. It's worth experimenting with, and posting your results on the forum. It's bound to change the optics of the addon lens, but if you like the results, go with it. People pay plenty of ££ for extension tubes, so this doesn't seem an aliend concept here. It may be less likely to suit wideangle, but if it's disasterous surely that depends on the optics in the camera, and inthe addon lens. no harm in trying... it's not like you're payig for film+developing. |
