Can you use a B60 to 58mm step-down ring without vignetting

Hi,

 

Have you had success using a B60 to 58mm step-down ring on your Hasselblad? Mostly, do you

experience vignetting when using 80mm and longer focal lengths?

 

I know that the 67mm step up ring is a better solution, but have a number of B+W 58mm filters that I'd

prefer not to buy again in a larger size, hence my desire to try using a B60 to 58mm adapter.

 

Thanks!

Which lens? Normal & Tele yes, wides I don't know.

I'm only interested in using 58mm filters on the 80mm CF and the 150 CF. Vignetting with

this size filter on a wide-angle lens seems like a foregone conclusion to me.

Robert,<br><br>You can try, holding the filter in front of the lens. Or more reliably, by cutting out a paper ring that fits in a bayonet 60 filter (if you have one of those) and has an opening the same size of, or a bit (1 - 2 mm) smaller* than that of your 58 mm filters.<br><br>*Remember that using an adapter ring between lens and filter will put the filter a bit further away from the lens, increasing the risk of vignetting.
