Don't Use a 77mm Filter on the Z 70-200mm S

[PilotJimL]

Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S users > The filter size is 77mm, but I recommend using a step-down adapter and an 82mm filter. The filter threads are recessed and difficult to access a filter, especially a thin polarizer. With an 82mm on an adapter, it is flush with the lens. The hood goes on and no vignetting. You do not need a 77mm filter. The 82mm works on the 14-30mm lens, too. First shot out of the house: (f/8, 1/200th, ISO 2200, 70-200mm S at 200mm, hand held)

That is a Golden Digger Wasp on Veronica.

Great advice, thank you!

Nice shot. My suggestion FWIW. Crop the right side to get rid of the flower and centre the wasp more.

Good advice.

As long as you don't need a hood, that's a good way to. Polarizers love to get stuck on that lens - had it happen quite often.
