Vignetting nikkor 24 2.8

[oltimer]

Megido, could you post the serial # on your lens? Not all 24/2.8 Nikkors take that hood #.

Yes, mine is also a late NC with scalloped focus ring. I''m currently using it without the hood as a test.

I see now were you have the "NC" lens. I noticed on Nikon's site for this lens that the L37c Black Rim is called for in filter use. I might add, that I have the L37c on my 28/2 which takes the same hood as the 24. The measurements on the L37c are exactly the same I gave you above on the L1A filter.

Thank You, but I figured it out very close when I went back and read that you had a earlier style lens. Also, I did read on their site too; that in some cases where the filter is too thick it could push the hood out that little bit further to vigneting. Having that much thicker filter in your case adds up to maybe the problem?

My guess is yes. I've had a Nikon filter on from the day I got the lens, along with the standard Nikon metal hood and no vignetting that I've noticed.

My read is that the distance you care about is more to the total front to back without internal as that is where the lens hood will stop.

Thin is much better, provided they are strong. I just have purchased Nikon filters over the years and never had problems.

Thank you all. I will purchase a L1A or L37 filter and report back.
