Thanks very much for the comments. Clearly stacking the filters is a bad idea. The impulse is indeed to protect the expensive lens, but at the cost of reducing it's quality? Will unstack and give it another go.
All the best.

It's fine to protect your costly lens. However, 1 filter is good enough for protection. Two is overkill, and will give effects as you already noticed.
The only time when you use more filters is with a creative filter system, like Lee, Hitech, Cokin. However, if you get the correct filter system for your lenses, stacking filters does not introduce vignetting up to 3 or 4 filters, because the filter holder and filters are wide enough to prevent vignetting.
Kind regards, Wim
