No. I tried a regular 49mm polarizer + lens hood on my 24/2.8 and got
vignetting. I also got blotchy sky colors, since the sky doesn't "polarize"
uniformly with a really wide angle lens. I would think that using a higher
contrast color slide film like Velvia, E100VS or the like would give you
plenty punchy colors with wide angle lenses.
