Slim filters necessary for NX12-24mm lens?

I'm planning to purchase a 58mm CPL filter for my 12-24mm (&18-55mm kit) lens. Not sure if I should get a slim or standard version. The standard one will be nicer to operate and easier to remove. Therefore I would only get the slim version if absolutely necessary. Anyone here experienced vignetting with a standard /non-slim filter on the 12-24mm?

Re: Slim filters necessary for NX12-24mm lens?

you'll get a little vignetting either way. I honestly can't say if it is needed, I'd try the slims standard you can find.

No, should be able to stack at least 2 standard filters without vignetting.

If you shoot RAW and use a program besides Lightroom (or other program which automatically applies the lens corrections in the RAW file) you might see some light vignetting with 2 stacked normal filters, but 1 should still be fine.
