Circular polarizing filters and vignetting

Circular polarizing filters are thicker than regular filters. Depending on the lens that is
mounted and the shooting conditions, vignetting may occur in the four corners of the image.
Refer to the "Compatibility table for PENTAX circular polarizing filters" on the following page

The A type (on the left in the diagram below) and the B type (on the right in the diagram
