Thanks George, I'll give that a try. Definitely better to know before
I order it. Now, if I can only get some clear sky.

Hi Gary
It is a very simple test. Cut out a 52mm ring
(with the 48mm opening)
from some black bristol board and slip it up
against a skylight filter
on your 105mm. Then shoot a few star trails or
wide field shots, and a
couple of the exact same areas without the mask.
Compare the two and see
if the vignetting is tolerable.
If the
vignetting is very bad, choose which one you will order monday
and which
one you will ask for as a gift... :^)
