No. I tried a regular 49mm polarizer + lens hood on my 24/2.8 and got 
vignetting. I also got blotchy sky colors, since the sky doesn't "polarize" 
uniformly with a really wide angle lens. I would think that using a higher 
contrast color slide film like Velvia, E100VS or the like would give you 
plenty punchy colors with wide angle lenses.
