There is one simple optical truth: the nearer is the filter to the lens, the less parasite light and flare you get and the better it is.

That's why I put a 37mm filter on the lens here and screw the hood on it.

“The Canon technicians I spoke with told me that the use of the Adapter would also reduce vignetting with some filters... which might occur if the filters were placed directly on the end of the lens.”
This is from the thread shared below. Funny thing is I had read that thread and discussed that issue with a friend. But a year later I had forgot about that and purchased for my G1X III a polariser filter that screws directly on the lens and then screwed the hood over that. Result is I got heavy vignetting at wide angle that just wasn’t usable. Had to unscrew the hood when I had the filter on. Fine. Anyway it’s not necessary in all landscape scenarios to keep it on.
