Circular or Linear Polarising Filter for Digital?
Nothing to do with digital or 35mm as far as I recall. More to do with AF or manual focus cameras. Potential for incorrect exposure and focus.

Circular or Linear Polarising Filter for Digital?
Nothing to do with digital or 35mm as far as I recall. More to do with AF or manual focus cameras. Potential for incorrect exposure and focus. Interesting, never noticed any problem in this at all. Maybe its more an issue with 'cheap' pol filters? Thanks for that.

Circular or Linear Polarising Filter for Digital?
Linear and circular pols work in a different way, nothing to do with cheap vs good quality filters. However a lot of people including myself have not really noticed any problem with linear filters on digital. Even if these was an issue, EV compensation and manual focus are at our disposal.

Circular or Linear Polarising Filter for Digital?
However a lot of people including myself have not really noticed any problem with linear filters on digital. Even if these was an issue, EV compensation and manual focus are at our disposal. I still use linear ones. I've never had any problem with AF using LPs, and I used to believe that there was ...

Lens Mounted Remote Cable Release
The Novoflex pistol grip was a "Follow Focus" you squeezed it to focus. Quite a good lens Scheider or Zeiss made. I would think pushing a button on top of a 600mm lens would cause more movement. Canon releases are the same fitting so have a look at what they use with long lenses. The Wireless RF-...

What lens should go?
I have the 17-70 and I do like it, but given you have a K7 I would keep the 18-55 and sell the 17-70. The 18-55 will not raise much cash, and can be included with the body if you sell the camera on at a later date. Plus it is a WR lens. The 17-70 minimum focus is 28cm, the 18-55 is 25cm. I find t...

Must Have Photography Accessories?
I have a rocket blower, and, more recently, some 3M Lens cleaning cloths! Filter wrench - no Bean Bag - yes, but a rolled up scarf, jacket or almost anything soft that will protect the camera if it is resting on a rough surface. The new pentax lens caps are fine - in the main, but limiteds are so...

Sadly I got a lot of those items in my bag (and more). I use a Lowepro Slingshot 300AW and in the TOP compartement I got a set of ND Filters (49 and 52mm, ND2, ND4 and ND8 one of each plus Polarising Filter in 49 and 52mm, all in a filter pouch), A Yellow HigViz Vest with "PHOTOGRAPHER" printed on i...

I am looking in to utilising a shopping trolley (you know the ones that the 'old ladies use on a bus:lol:) From your list of gear it sounds like never mind 'shopping trollies old ladies use on a bus' ... you need a bus! I even play with the idea of utilising an old, large wheeled, coach style pr...

Regardless of whether spirit levels are good or bad (I suspect it's down to the individual, the tone and implied language of Mr pants' reply was completely inappropriate. Great way to put people off asking questions. Oh, come off it now! :roll: This thread isn't a response to a request for inf...

Forum members, flippered or otherwise - I apologise for my post above. :roll: Eh...ok - can we go back to the list please? TBH none of the items strike me as 'must haves'... personally, I can do without all of them, but it's good that many of the items are things you'd have around the house... e....

As far as torches go, I can wholeheartedly recommend the LED Lenser (though I've not actually used a torch for photography): despite its small stature, it puts out a very useful amount of light. Hot shoe bubble level - have you checked a Pentax lately? Even on those models without the electronic ...

My Camera Bag is now full and complete!
Very cool. Maybe it's the effect of the recession but I feel my LBA has evaporated recently too (still lusting after a K5 though... and a sigma 85/1.4... (best I stop there!)). I would echo the comments about a bag though:) I always find a shoulder bag does my back in if it has a few lenses in... ru...

Autofocus article-worth a read....
Never mind AF, I just wish that I could turn off the stupid diopter adjustment on the viewfinders. I wear contact lenses and getting it back to the 'middle' setting after knocking it accidentally is a real pain.

Excellent article, many thanks for the link. Until a post on here the other week, I never really knew hot to adjust diopter properly (my old Km had no focus screen). Now my focus screen is pin sharp and even my contact lens covered coratacona (sorry about spelling there !) eye sees everything pin...
