1.25 inch filters

Hi,

I have an ASI 2600 MC camera with an APS-C chip (23.5 x 17.5mm).

It is impossible atm to source a 2 inch filter drawer, but I can use a 1.25 inch filter if I get the adaptor. This would place the filter around 40mm from the chip, around the same place as if I used a filter drawer.

Is this filter too small and would it vignette, the chip is 23.5 mm and the filter is 31.75 mm, or would i be better of waiting for the filter draw and using my 2 inch filter.

Also currently the 2 inch filter is screwed into the end of my reducer so is further away than what I am proposing. I have been told that it is better to have the filter closer to the chip so this should be a better position?

Cheers
Paul
