I don't have a Tamron 350, but I do have other lenses with slip-in filter holders in the rear. In both cases there is a pretty tight limit on filter thickness. I have a Zuiko 35.5mm 1A filter that woun't quite fit in my Tokina AT-X 15-500/5.6. Mounts fine in the holder, but won't quite fit in the slot. Since I have no other use for it, I may cut down the front threads to make it fit. Max thickness for a filter for the Sigma 800/8 is 3mm and Sigma says no polarizer will work on one of their other back filter lenses except their own. Not that it won't fit, but the the desired polarizing effect won't be produced. Don't know why that would be, but that's what they say.

So first hurdle is finding a polarizer in the right thread size, second, finding one thin enough, third, will it work properly. Might be worth contacting the manufacturer before instituting a big search.
