I am using the Nikon 16-35mm with a Lee filter kit including the 105mm polarizer on my D700. I have 2 filter slots on the filter holder so i can use a Pro glass ND and a GND but cannot use the lens at 16mm with have dark edges which looks like i am catching the edges of the Polarizer.

Is any one else using this lens and the Lens Polarizer, have you had this issue and how many filter holder slots do you have to prevent this.

Not sure but i think you may find this helpful - taken from Uncle Ken's website:

Polarizing Filters

Don't do it!

The sky changes its polarization as you look from left to right. The sky has its largest amount of polarization, and thus polarizing filters have their greatest effect, at 90 degree angles from the sun.

Used on normal and tele lenses, POL filters have more or less effect depending on where you point them.

Used on lenses that can see a broad expanses of sky, a POL will render the more polarized areas much darker than the other areas. This causes nasty dark bands in the sky, and is why I never use a polarizer with an ultrawide lens.
