Q: 8. So when I have this filter attached to my lens, is adding +1 exposure compensation sufficient for proper exposures?

A: If you have through-the-lens (TTL) metering then you don' have to compensate. For example, the TTL on my Nikon camera takes the filter into account when metering. If your camera is a rangefinder, then you'll probably have to compensate by adding +1 exposure, as the meter might not account for the filter. One way to test is to try to meter in a consistent light situation without AND with the filter. If the meter is asking you to open up or slow down the shutter speed (ie. add exposure) when you have the filter on, then your camera is already accounting for the filter. If there is no difference in metering between with or without the filter, then your camera is not account for the filter when metering and you'll have to compensate. Hope this helps.

Q: 9. Is the front of this filter threaded so I can stack another filter to it?
