UV filters.
Strikes me there's two schools of thought here Filter on at all times Filter on when it's only needed . You pays your money [ literally :mrgreen: ] and you makes your choice. I've made mine having seen someone in our class drop his camera on the floor and err , well let's just say it w...

UV filters.
Actually, for a long time I have used the Pentax dedicated hoods even in the days we had to buy then separately. This was mainly because they clipped on instead of having to mess about screwing and unscrewing them. Using a hood is far more important than using a filter. If we use a filter that's ...

UV filters.
after a little testing with my 50mm lens i decided to test a little more last night. Took each of my lens into testing, camera in the same position i took a picture with the uv filter on, took the filter off without moving the camera at all and the focus was out so hit the AF to refocus. Each len...

UV filters.
Should you not carry out the same tests outdoors, that is where the UV light is. I would have thought that indoors even standard glass in windows would filter out some UV.

That will be next, my main point of this though was to find out wether leaving them on permenantly was a wise choice and if it a...

How do handle your lenses when shooting?
With some comments on the UV filter topic it makes me wander if I'm the only one who handle lenses like I do... :oops: For long storage all the lens caps or on the lens but when I'm photographing and switching lenses the only cap that gets back on the lens before going in the bag is the rear lens...

How do handle your lenses when shooting?
Im very much like Will, always going through pockets to find the front cap, (and then blaming my missus if she's with me).... But do tend to leave a filter on.

How do handle your lenses when shooting?
I use filters and alway put the lens cap back on, except when the lens is on the camera and in use I put the lens cap in my pocket and then can't find it again. I have scratched one filter badly, while bending over with the camera round my neck and scraping it across a rock. OCD has it's benefits y...

How do handle your lenses when shooting?
I always put the rear cap on and always try to find time for the front. Very rarely does this not happen. I bet most people have some kind of UV / protection filter on their lenses anyway, so the idea of leaving caps off is probably not so bad as it sounds.

Sharpest, cheapest and fastest long zoom?
Thanks everyone so far for your contributions. Its very interesting to see how people think. I guess if a compramise has to be made, then rule out "VERY" fast as I'm sure all cheap lenses will be old, and within that focal range they were't very fast anyway (maybe except super expensive ones in t...

FA v D-FA 100mm 1:2.8 Macro
Has anybody used both of these? Any thoughts, comparisons, etc? This much I know, D-FA is much lighter than the FA. It has 49mm filter thread (FA is 58mm). It has quick shift MF. Is there much, if any, difference in image quality? Did you switch from an FA to a D-FA version? Any regrets?

which 10-20 - if at all?
Hmm interesting you say about the purple fringing, shall have to look into that, not noticed that being an issue (although its not one that worries me overly for what I'd use it for...) Be prepared to fork out a fair bit for extra slim filters too. Call me silly and new, but I can't see why would...

Be prepared to fork out a fair bit for extra slim filters too. Call me silly and new, but I can't see why would I want to stick a filter on the front of such a quality piece of glass? Am I missing something? A half-decent 77mm slim CPL will set you back at least 50 quid.
