Medium format lense filters

<p>Keep in mind, a 50mm lens on medium format is not like a 50mm on a 35mm camera. A 50mm lens on MF is approaching wide angle, and thus it is very possible that the frame of the filter is being "seen" by the lens. Either do as said in the other answer and be sure you are not stacking the polarizer filter on top of another filter and you may even have to use a "slim" polarizer filter that has an extremely shallow mount to try to prevent problems on a semi wide angle lens.</p>

<p>One other thing. You may find you get some "banding" in the sky when using a polarizer filter with a 50mm lens on a MF camera. The lens will often be capturing more area than can be polarized by the filter and create ugly banding of different shades of blue in a large expanse of sky.</p>

<p>Your best bet would probably be not to use a polarizer filter on any lens with a focal length of less than 80mm on a MF camera. </p>
