Hi,

A question to owners of the P 14-42 ii . I'm interested in buying this lens for general outdoor shooting and I would like to use it with a hood and a polarizing filter attached at the same time. This lens has a relatively deep bayonet hood, see here, so I'm trying to understand if it would be convenient to rotate and fine tune the polarizing filter when the hood is attached.

I'm also trying to figure out if the hood would fit when the lens is used with a 52mm filter attached to a 46->52mm step-up ring (the lens filter thread is 46mm), and whether it would be convenient to play with the filter in that case.

Thank you.

No.   It may not work on your lens.

Maybe it might work using an ultra slim polarizer without lens hood ,

Lens hood + polarizer may cause vignette at the widest focal length.   You can always try using polarizer without lens hood.   Test by shooting  at widest focal length and smallest aperture to see if you get vignette.  YMMV.

Good luck.  And report back your findings.

Lena
