Subject: [Leica] vignetting

luggnutz,

looking over some recent black and white proofs of shots made with the
elmarit-m 24, i noticed some serious vignetting. the pictures were taken in
bright sunlight, and i was using a b+w yellow filter and the lens hood,
which doesn't fit completely over both the filter and the rim of the lens.
the lens was stopped down to f/8, which i thought would eliminate
vignetting, or at least keep it to a minimum; it didn't.

does anybody shoot with the 21 or 24, using both a filter and a hood and
*not* get vignetting? if so, how do you avoid those unwanted dark corners?
do any of you 24mm luggers go without a hood when shooting with the 21 or
24 and a filter?

what say you wide angle luggers?
