A: We recommend this circular polarizing filter, which will help you to eliminate any reflected light when shooting around water. It will also make blue skies pop and white clouds pop if you happen to encounter those conditions. We also recommend a protection filter such as a href= https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/533244-REG/Tiffen_77HTDUC_77mm_Digital_HT_High.html target= _blank https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/533244-REG/Tiffen_77HTDUC_77mm_Digital_HT_High.html/a

A: Yes, you would simply need to trim the filter to fit the slot on the back of the Canon 14mm.

Q: 5. What are the filter and stop factors for this filter?

A: The filter factor is 3 and the stop loss is 1 and 2/3 stop

Q: 6. I have this filter in the 55mm size but the lens caps that I have will not stay on for more than a few seconds, the slightest pressure on them pops the cap off the lens. Anybody find a lens cap brand/model that works with this filter?

A: The Sensei 55mm Center Pinch Snap-On Lens Cap is compatible with the Tiffen 55mm Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter.

Q: 7. I regard to the question about the front threads:Note that the specs supplied by B&H say that the mfg has not provided that info. Upon receiving this filter hoping I could add the the Nikon R1C1 flash system to it (the reason I bought this unit instead of others that had no front threads) I can tell you that the threads are well over 77MM wide. I should have figured that out when the description states the filter is oversized.

A: The front threads are approximately 81mm on the XS-Pro 77mm Digital ND Vario. While it will not be possible to use the R1-C1 mounted on this filter, the flashes on the R1-C1 separate off the ring and the system comes with stands. You could mount the flashes onto stands and ultimately a tripod and light the subject in this manner, and just use the system without having the flash on the camera.

Q: 8. What is the front thread size for the 55mm filter?

A: The Hoya Variable Density II ND Filter (1.5 to 9-Stop ) does not have front filter threads.

Q: 9. Any chance someone has a template (or the measurements) for the interior dimensions of the slot? (ie, then trim to fit without wrinkling / fingerprinting the film)?

A: hey! Unfortunately not! Bought this one for my dad and I don't think he has already used it.. ;) Sorry, regards Johannes

Q: 10. I purchased this filter from you earlier this month. The filter ring is oversized . Can you recommend a lens cap that would work with this filter? Thank you. - Michael

A: The front filter thread size of the B+W 72mm XS-Pro Digital ND Vario MRC nano Filter is 77mm. As such, any 77mm lens cap should fit onto the filter. If you need a particular recommendation, then I would recommend the Sensei 77mm Center Pinch Snap-On Lens Cap, B&H # SELC77, for your stated needs.
