Rule 1: any step-down will cause vignetting. Rule 2: Even an E-60 Leitz C-Pol will cause vigneting. Rule 3: A single B+W or a slim Heliopan works w/out vignetting. Rule 3: A step-up in size to 62 mm or larger works w/out vignetting, but you are cutting into your field of view. So, Jim is right -- an 060 is probably all you will ever need except perhaps a KB-12 for night chromes. (And, it's probably warm enough so an 81A isn't necessary anyway.)
