question

Hi, I have a Zeiss 35mm biogon lens that I use most of the time which requires a 43mm filter. The problem is I cant find a 43mm R72 infrared filter. Would it be possible to use the 46mm?
Asked by: Christopher P.
With a step up ring from 43 to 46mm, you shouldn't have any problems. You generally do not experience vignetting (the dark corners) above around 24mms.
