In fact the "A" series is to small for 35mm, but even with the "P"
series you will get in trouble with an 17mm lens or 18mm Zuiko. You can
turn the holder like Waren sugested, but this will not help with
graduated filters, which are more usefull with wide angles than
polarizer.
I did cut off all slot but one with an saw (the high quality plastic
it´s made of, make it easy) and all vignetting problems
disapeared(tested with an 17mm Vivitar and an 17mm Tokina). That´s makes
the "P" series realy vignetting free, because 17mm lenses are the
shortest focal lenght with front filter thread.
One remark to the Cokin "P" polarizer, it is an 72mm filter and will
vignetting with superwide angle lenses, it has in addition an slightly
blueish cast. My comment: cheap and not perfect, of course no MC.
