Wow, love Zeiss but I\'m glad I didn\'t spend the $500 and find out it vignettes. I can confirm the Marumi doesn\'t, at least at stopped down. I have not tried it shooting wide open.
To create a ND/CP combo, I had to mount the ND glass inside the front of the CP. Even with a Marumi CP/Slimb B+W ND combo I\'d get vignetting. Once I put the glass inside the front of the CP, there was no vignetting.
A while back I did an informal test of a Zeiss, Singh-Ray, Hoya HD and Marumi CP in 82mm. Other than color differences, I didn\'t notice too much difference in sharpness, resolution, etc. I know there are some that wouldn\'t consider putting a $150 CP on the front of a $3000 lens....but the Marumi is pretty good product.

After doing some research I think the Marumi polarizer is the only reasonable option out there if you want to avoid vignetting. I asked Zeiss about their current polarizer filter and they confirmed that it does vignette. They indicated that they will have a slim solution available soon, but given that the Marumi has received good technical reviews I would buy the Marumi even if Zeiss comes out with a slim CP.
