Blimey.! - A fat lot of good, you bunch are.! As many for, as against! - And I'm still none the wiser. :wink: Seriously though, - It does seem to be a tricky one, and I reckon it could be easy to become over concerned about something like this. I think I'm more fearful of dust and moisture ingr...

I've stopped using UV etc filters. If it's sunny (ish) I use a screw on Polariser and leave it on.

I always keep on UV filters and thus I am glad I had the TIFFEN UV filter and lens hood on my 18-55 mm as statue fell over and top the lens hood off and marked the filter so I needed less to replaced, and think the owner of the gallery was happy as my bill was less than CD$60.xx while the 18-55 mm m...

If it's sunny (ish) I use a screw on Polariser and leave it on. Why only when it's sunny(ish)? Depending what you're photographing, it can have a marked effect in all weathers. I often use mine for macro stuff too, great with toadstools, mosses etc. Dan

I told you we wouldn't agree :D I use a lens hood when taking the photo, but I don't leave it on when I stuff the lens back in my bag. And if anyone wants to come and visit my excavation in Romania next summer and wave their precious lenses around my site, feel free. If you change your lens thoug...

Thanks Daniel - good point - I'll bear that in mind. Never thought of using my polariser with my Macro Lens. I'll look into those ghostless filters - sounds interesting. Cheers John

Thanks Daniel - good point - I'll bear that in mind. Never thought of using my polariser with my Macro Lens. Only really useful on a static subject - I wouldn't bother trying it with Jumping Spiders! :lol: Dan

Take your point Dan - but I wouldn't get too close to a jumping spider anyway!! I took some close ups of beetles a while ago - they had shiny/reflective backs - maybe a polariser would have helped here? John

I wouldn't get too close to a jumping spider anyway!! Er, what do you have as your avatar? :) I took some close ups of beetles a while ago - they had shiny/reflective backs - maybe a polariser would have helped here? Possibly, but it would depend on the amount of light you had, and whether they w...

Er, what do you have as your avatar? :) As far as I'm aware this spider doesn't jump - perhaps it liked having it's photo taken and just posed for me!! It was extremely small - I was very close to it with my Sigma 105mmm Macro. Great lens.

HE's got very big eyes... http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=jumping+spider&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK%7CcountryGB I've got the Sigma too - love it. ;-) Dan

Well Dan - I bow down to your superior knowledge. Found some specimens on Google and it (HE) does appear to be a jumping spider. The wonders of Google. Mike-P has some shots of it on Flickr and it seems to have at least 6 eyes. We're getting a bit away from filters - but interesting. :wink: ...

Sorry, I didn't mean to emphasise the 'HE', just that my finger lingered on the shift key too long. :roll: Were we talking about filters? :lol: Dan

Amazing how some threads drift away from the subject. From filters to jumping (or not) spiders, HE or SHE, eyes etc. Perhaps we should have a thread on spiders!! :wink: John

I have just purchased my first brand new lens. (Tokina 19-35), and I'm uncertain, as to whether to buy a Uv filter, for protection. It is sometimes said, that using filters is the mark of an amateur. Well - I am an amateur!, but what I suppose is meant, is that Pros would not put anything, however...

Consequently, I now have become a firm member of the pro-filter group. I agree. Everyone should use a filter from the moment they buy the lens to the moment they sell it to me on eBay. I will then remove the filter before I start to use the nice clean lens I have just bought..... The filter wi...
