Yeah, screwing and unscrewing a filter of any kind in the 17/3.5
Tamron hood without leaving fingerprints or using profanity is a
challenge. I have so far avoided the prints, but the profanity is
another matter entirely. The regular, ordinary, thick filters
don't vignette, are cheaper, and are easier to screw in and
unscrew out than the more expensive thin mount filters. Try to
think of that as an advantage.
