I actually already have the splittable tube adapter on order. Hoping it comes soon. I just tested my Nikon 1.5 and the vignetting starts below 6x zoom on the display. So I dont think it will be huge issue, but just in case, I am going to try the Canon. Do you use a lens hood with your canon 1.5?

You can get down to about 4x zoom with the Canon.

I don't use a lens hood with it, which is occasionally problematic... but it has no filter threads, and it's quite a diameter at the front. Not sure if there's anything suitable commercially available.

I suppose it wouldn't be too hard to make/fit a lens hood myself, but it hasn't bothered me enough to make the effort... and it would need to be quite sizable.
