Pancake hood any good? A casual experiment

Re: Pancake hood any good? A casual experiment

Very good point, and the reason I put the pancake hood on top is because the Nikon hood had to go on top of the filter (being a screw-in), and I wanted to keep things consistent. As you can see, this pancake hood doesn’t cause noticeable vignetting when used with one thin filter.

I normally do deploy the hoods behind the filter, like Canon told you, mainly because that makes it easier to screw the filter off when required.
