I had a quick question on "standard" filters vs these newer ULTRA THIN 
filters. Ultra thin filters decrease vignetting, which occur with wide angle 
lenses. Is there really a difference in filter quality and type? What type 
of filter do you suggest for a wide angle lens/wide angle zoom lens? what 
brand filter do you prefer. Typically I use Hoya...but I have heard that 
Hoya (esp. Hoya made in the Phillipines) are junk. Does filter coating 
affect picture quality?

Reason I ask this question...is that I obtained a 19 - 35 Vivitar lens and 
ordered a 77mm HOYA HMC filter...which is "standard" thickness.

Thanks.
