Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
in my experience skylight filters are so weak that it makes no noticable difference to the photo. I have a UV or Skylight filter (whatever comes to hand) on my lenses most of the time for protection. It's remarkably close to impossible to get a Pentax SMC lens to flare or ghost even with a skylig...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
If its a Hoya filter then leave it on, if its a brand X then take it off and throw it away :shock: or at least save it untill you can afford a Hoya :D

If its a Hoya filter then leave it on, if its a brand X then take it off and throw it away :shock: or at least save it untill you can afford a Hoya :D Not all filters are created equal, not even the well known brands - there are varying qualities even within the Hoya range and as ever you get what ...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
oh certainly if you are using another filter then the UV/Skylight has to come off, that's a given. Still I have never yet been able to observe a difference other than ghosting resistance even with my cheap-as-they-come Hama UV filters. Admittedly I don't own any * lenses, but I've tried it on my ...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
Everyone will have a personal preferance on filters, and on that basis all I can offer is mine. I do not dispute anyone else's choice. I have not used a skylight or UV filter for 25 years or more and never regretted it. I see no sense in putting a piece of glass in front of my Pentax glass that ...

Body armour for a Canon 400D? So it can be almost as good as A K10D then :D

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
I can honestly say that the only filter that I use on a regular basis is a polariser. I would go along with Delgado on most of what he says, but would maybe use a skylight for protection in bad weather. I tend to be careful with my equiptment (and my camera :D ) and dont subject it to too much abus...

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
There is absolutely 100% no value in putting a skylight filter on for a portrait shot, these filters are intended to cut aerial uv haze, how far away is the model? Any filter will in theory reduce the performance of the lens if used injudiciously.

Quick question about a skylight (1B) filter
I think the crucial word was 'injudiciously' - use that cheap old filter shooting with the sun shining on the filter, and although resolution may be the same, the contrast almost certainly won't. As well you know! :lol: Dan

As well you know! :lol: Just read that back, and thought it sounded like a dig at you - it wasn't, I just know that you're a competent photographer, and didn't really need me to say what I'd just said. Not sure I'm not making it sound worse now though. :? Dan (Smiling - I hate it that gettin...

/me hands Dan a ladder and holds his shovel while he climbs out of the hole no worries mate, I'm not the type to take anything on an internet forum that way, I tend to imagine phraises such as "as you well know" being said in a mock scolding voice by default. actually I'm quite flatt...

'Modelscope' to use with a K10D
That is exactly what I mean and its use. From memory they comprised a hollow stainless steel tube (about 10mm in diameter) with a 45 degree mirror at the bottom, but I cannot remember how they attached to a camera. The connection might have been via a screw thread onto the filter thread of the len...

Horrible purple cast, not a new species of robin
I've cropped the top robin from my earlier shot; here it is: I don't think this is the normal CA. I think it is Purple Fringing. CAs normally show a purple area on one side and a green area on the other. CAs can be quite easily corrected in Photoshop (Filter-lens correction), but PF cannot....

Horrible purple cast, not a new species of robin
It's not much of a problem with film as lenses are well corrected and as film has a flat surface it is happy to accept oblique light rays. You can see the effect in abundance if you use a colour film in an old box camera with a lens only corrected for Ordinary Film (blue sensitive only). As an...
