Basically does anyone have experience with the Kase Revolution mangnetic system on your Z lenses?  Which combination of sizes work and which ones tend to vignette?

I have the older style 82mm Wolverien magentic system and they work great on the 24-120 (77mm), but vignette on the 14-30 (82mm) at 14 to 16mm.

Would the new inlaid filter design stop the vignette issues without haveing to upsize my filter on the 14-30?

@msharp  Unfortunately I do get some vignetting on the Z 14-24mm f/2.8 between 14-15mm with the Kase magnetic pol filter. Can't say for your mentionned lenses.

... I didn't mention that I use a clear filter in between the Kase filter and the lens. Therefore this might be the cause of my vignetting here.

If you go one size up with the 95 mm filters you won't have any vignetting. Hudson Henry is using those and they work fine.

The Kase Revolution magnetic filters with their inlaid design do help reduce vignetting, but may not fully eliminate it on the Z 14-30mm at 14–16mm. That lens is known to vignette easily with filters, especially at the wide end. Even with the slim Revolution filters, some edge darkening can still occur at 14mm. Since the 14-30mm already has an 82mm thread, you can’t upsize further to fix the issue. For best results, use the slimmest Kase adapter ring and avoid stacking filters when shooting ultra-wide.
