		| I just bought a UV Haze filter (UV(0), .75 Pitch) which I have read is a good one to just leave on the camera at all times, to protect the lense from dust and scratches.  I have also just bought a cirular polarizer, and was wondering if anybody knew of any adverse effects from stacking these two filters together.  What kind of adjustments to I have to make to compensate? |

		The only thing I know to watch out for is vignetting. Test it with both filters on and take a picture of the sky with a very small aperature. If the result shows darkening in the corners, it would not be good to stack the filters; otherwise, you should be OK.
 
 edit for fat fingers.

		| Why stack them?  Both filters are very useful but every glass you put on your lens captures some light and can reduce the sharpness and quality of your images. |

 The UV filter, at least, does not cut enough light to even effect 1/3 of a stop. I you have to stack anything, stack on top of this one. The only filters I stack are graduated filters or UV + (a) graduated one(s).

		they may not cut a lot of light, but they can definitely affect the overall quality and sharpness of your image, depending on the quality of the filter.
