Sacrifice a lens or buy a WR?
Thanks for all the input all. I think I will go for a plastic cover and a cheap filter for the front and a rubber O ring, unless I see a relatively cheap 18-55WR in the classifieds here. Polchraine, Do you have any other advice on equipment or technique to use. The plan is to take the 18-5...

Question for johnriley (and all)
I found page which suggests that the Invercone was an accessory for the Master II. It was included with later models. I had a Master V which had one supplied with it. thread on another forum indicates the Invercone for the Master II was a two part device. is an (ended) auction showing a Eur...

Car woes
a 2002 Passat 1.9 TDI (mine). None of them have required more than the normal scheduled services I guess it comes down to proper maintenance :) Might I tactfully recommend getting rid of it soon then! My 2001 A6 TDI (mechanically similar and well maintained by my local specialist) has had th...

Karl Grobl gives up on Canon
I found this entry in his blog interesting: "Drizzly conditions make for slick pavement, which is great for photos but dangerous for walking. While photographing this flower vendor on the streets here in Hanoi about an hour ago, I stepped on a wet curb, slipped and fell, dropping my Mark II with ...

Fed up!!
But I-berg is the wanting of the sharpest lens or the best camera not as much a crime as photoshop Not if ones interests are with subjects like Macro Photography or Wildlife:wink: Anyway as Ron suggests, I think I might have a go at creating some impressionist pics, I have DA* quality lenses with...

Fed up!!
Ron, For your perusal produced for two different projects. First one was a self portrait shot through a beetroot juice filter illuminated by a torch. Second was produced by a pinhole camera experiment, I just liked the colour and the shapes. Both from the GX10 10megapixel sensor ...

SRS not contactable
Or to get to me directly, use [email protected] or send me a PM. We have been very very busy, but we aim to answer all emails the same day at the latest. It could be our vicious spam filter again!! Chris

So if someone developed a mono sensor it should be capable of far higher quality as it's not trying to capture colour information. In theory it would be easier to make but production runs would be much shorter so probably cost more. Actually all sensors only see one thing and that's the light level...

I once read a Nikon manual for a compact bridge style camera and it said thet higher resolution was obtained when shooting at the black and white setting. If this meant that every pixel was being processed instead of blocks of four then it's quite logical to presume this. The demand for a blac...

But doesn't that mean that every pixel would be focussed on producing the mono image and not worrying about the colour? Yes correct and the sensor would have more resolving power as well. I once read a Nikon manual for a compact bridge style camera and it said thet higher resolution was obtained ...

That's not true though since you can't remove the colour filter so you're still stuck with processing it in blocks of 4. So why can't you ignore the colour filter and just take the luminosity values of each pixel? In any event, I can only tell you what the manufacturer claimed.

Because the colour filter is physically in front of the sensor so how do you want to ignore that, the only way to do that is by removing it.

Black and White Digital
John that's the problem since for example a pixel under a red filter only gets red light so it measure the brightness of the redlight... what if the light is green that wont go through the red filter. It's like shooting with coloured filters with a B&W film, according what you just said it does n...

The benefit of a colour digital image that you convert to BW in PP is that you can experiment with the "filtration", i.e., add a virtual red filter and compare that to adding a virtual yellow filter. With a BW only sensor you would end up carrying (as I do with a film camera) a stack of filters and...

My point was that if you remove all the filters then all the pixels would only be looking at tone/birghtness. I think I'm out of my depth, all I can say is that a black and white TV gives a better picture than watching a black and white film on a colout TV. You are correct with that one. I know...

Proof that 2x converters have no real use?
Interesting that he has no lens caps for the lenses. I guess if one fits a UV filter to the front, as he has, a lens can just be stuffed in a bag and be ready for action in an instant.

The lens cap on the Nokton 58mm is poor. So I just leave the metal hood on and cover with a cloth when in the bag,...

Hard to find orange/infrared filter
With the improving weather I'm looking to get a new Infrared filter to try out on my K100. I've had my eye on the B+W 099 Filter for a while, which produces some nice false colour effects, But I can't find it anywhere in the UK. My best bet so far is , though with shipping and taxes the c...

Hard to find orange/infrared filter
Here you go I guess you needed 58mm because of your Adorama link The one on the German site is cheaper but don't know how much shipping is, no tax though since it's an EU country. Just checked for you, it takes 2 to 3 business days and cost €6 shipment so in total €26,32 and that would b...

Hard to find orange/infrared filter
I'd probably look to European shops too. Here in the UK B+W are rare and expensive beasts, on the mainland they're more commonplace and similar in price to Hoya.
