Q: 2. Can you stack another filter on top?

A: PolarPro 67mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop) does not have front threads so unfortunately you cannot stack another filter on top.

Q: 3. Will this filter allow the hood to be used with the Canon RF 85mm F1.2L lens? Is their any colour shift, image loss of detail, or vignetting when using this filter with that lens?

A: The lens hood for the Canon RF 85mm f/1.2L Lens can still be used along with this filter. However, it is best to adjust the filter to the desired setting prior to attaching the hood.

Q: 4. How thick is this filter?

A: There are no specs for the thickness of this filter, but it will not vignette down to a 16mm focal length.

Q: 5. Is there any vignetting at the lowest or highest setting of the VND? I see the Tiffen does a bit from some of those reviews. This is my largest concern. Thanks.

A: We haven't had any reports of vignetting with this filter at the lowest or highest setting.

Q: 6. Is this the Mist Edition or the Signature Edition?

A: This filter is from the PolarPro Signature Edition II line. :)

Q: 7. What is the outside diameter? I need it to fit inside of a SmallRig mini matte box. My 82mm tiffin is too wide at 98mm. I believe it has to be less than 95mm to be compatible.

A: We measured this at the store and it measured 89.5mm on across the front element.

Q: 8. The filter thread is 67mm on the glass side, but what is the width across the front side, it should be slightly larger than 67mm?

A: According to the manufacturer, the diameter of the filter would be 73.6mm.

Q: 9. Is there a third party lens hood that will fit the 82mm VND?

A: Unfortunately, the PolarPro 82mm Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND 0.6 to 1.5 Filter (2 to 5-Stop) does not have front filter threads, so you can't screw in a lens hood. PolarPro does not make a lens hood for it either, unfortunately.

Q: 10. Will the lens hood of the Sony 70-200 GMII fit with this filter installed?

A: The Schneider True-Match Vari-ND MKII Variable Neutral Density Filter (77mm) front threads are 77mm. Since the filter does not expand in the front ring, you can keep the lens hood on the Sony FE 70-200mm f/2.8 GM OSS II Lens attached.
