Stephan,
Welcome to the forum - I like the shot in your portfolio very much. Personally I haven't had any problems with vignetting at wide angle settings with my 18-55. Are we talking vignetting or uneven polarizing?
It is virtually impossible to get even coverage over the whole image with wide angle lenses due to the changing angle to the sun.
Can you post a shot as an example? (I've left a comment in your portfolio regarding your lovely picture).
The PRO1 is very thin (way thinner than my clunky Hoya's) and should pose no vignetting problems (where the rim of the filter gets into the corners of your shot).
Oh, we are talking Digital camera? Right? The lens itself at anything under 24mm vignettes like crazy. Worse with any filter.
Cheers

Mac... do you mean like this? Oh, we are talking Digital camera? Right? The lens itself at anything under 24mm vignettes like crazy. Worse with any filter.

No polarizer on this one
Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.
