Don't know if they're available in that diameter, but the Hoya "Slim Line" are definitely thinner than B+W, which are actually toward the thick side compared to most. Both are good, Hoya is less expensive. TTBoyd wrote:

Word-of-mouth says that B+W and Hoya make the thinnest filters. Any comments?

I use the B&W slimline CP. It's a very very good product, and clearly as slim as any other slimline CP from Hoya.The quality of the CP is simply phenomenal.I have finally found that the Hoya ultra slim circular polarizer is
5mm thick. I am waiting for an answer from Schneider concerning the
thickness of the B+W slim-line circular polarizer.

Yes, that is correct. I need to minimize or eliminate vignetting on a Sigma 15-30mm zoom, which has threads on the lens hood for a 82mm filter. I've already tried a standard thickness B+W cicular polarizer, which is about 6mm thick. It produced very slight vignetting when shooting at 15mm.I seems that the thickness you are talking about deals with the
thickness of the mounting ring, is that right?
You're right, but I would have to use a 82-95mm step-up ring, since 95mm is the next larger size. This would be an expensive & fragile setup.The mounting ring thickness is another story but could be solved
easely with a step up ring and a larger filter that could clear the
image better in the corners.

I have done some research, but the manufacturers' sites do not list
the thickness of their CP's. Word-of-mouth says that B+W and Hoya
make the thinnest filters. Any comments?

No. The Hoyas come with a push-on cap, since there are no front threads.Are you going to remove this filter to put cap on?
None of the slim-line or ultra-slim filters have front threads.I think slimline filters from Hoya don't have threads up front.
I will. This "simple" project has beome a real pain.If you find one please post here your findings.
If it's for the Sigma 15-30mm, go for the slims. They are 3mm thick as opposed to the standard 6mm. I believe the CP will be about 5mm thick.I need one too but not CP, just plain glass will do.

There are push-on caps available for the B+W. I'm not sure if the
caps are supplied with them.

Here's a link with an illustration of the difference in thickness
of plain filters:

Unfortunately, they don't show a comparison of the CP regular vs.
slim.

You're right about that, Jim! That's why I may opt for the Hoya, which I can get for about $157. -And it comes with the push-on cap!No push on caps supplied with the B-W filters. You realize that the
B-W CP ultra slim, will be verry expensive.
