k_kujo_hurt Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Has anyone used a 62mm Nikon diopter 5T or 6T with the Canon 180/3.5 mm lens? The 180 takes a 72mm filter so you would need a step down ring to use the diopters. What is the quality and any problems with vignetting? I know you could purchase a 500D in 72mm but I may want the other option if I end up purchasing the 70-200/4 lens. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digitmstr Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 why don't you get a step<down> ring for the 70-200 f/4 if and when you purchase it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yakim_peled1 Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I asked this question in the Nikon forum (for my 200/2.8, also 72mm) and people said that there will be no vignetting on film. It is on order at B&H and I expect to get it within a week. Quality is suppose to be first rate. Happy shooting ,Yakim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k_kujo_hurt Posted July 18, 2004 Author Share Posted July 18, 2004 I don't own the 70-200/4 yet but do own the 180/3.5. I'm not sure if or when I'll get the f4 lens. I've put a few posts up getting different opinions based on scenarios I think I might run into with my shooting interests. I currently own the Tokina 80-200/2.8 and am still deciding whether to keep it or sell and replace with one of Canon's versions. I have been leaning toward the 70-200/4 for budget reasons but may hold out for the 2.8 version and hold onto the Tokina until I can make the upgrade without losing the 1 stop. I ask about the vignetting with the 180 and a 5T or 6T because if I get the 70-200/4, I'd like to know if I can use the same diopters with the 180 for increased magnification. I won't use it often that way but I do like having options. Thanks for the posts. Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil_walden Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 I use the 5T and 6T with a 62mm step-down ring on my 72mm Vivitar 90-180mm Vivitar macro without vignetting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
