HOYA pro 1 digital filters MC UV(0)
Some of the more recent Hoya filters are only retained by a springy metal ring. Dropping a filter onto a carpet would be enough to make it flick out. It wasn't dropped but the lens to which it was attached has recently been in some very very hot weather and in a car, so I wonder if contection/expans...

Light spot
You're assuming I envisage it the way you envisage that I envisage it! ;) I'm not thinking LCD screen squeezability here; no moiré fringe pressure/stress patterns, or stuff like that. I was thinking more literally, in terms of 'engineer's adjuster'.... like the TV knock, or a tap with 'ye olde Mark ...

How do I get dust out of my zoom lens?
I've read that the sticky stuff is often pollen. Its no big deal to clean the sensor yourself and everyone will recommend the cleaning method they use which makes me think they all work, albeit using different methods. I use Eclipse liquid and swabs. When you do it just make sure your battery is...

Help with exposure
I've spent all evening looking through the pics I've taken with the camera. Apart from the disastrous dark holiday shots once I changed to multi segment metering things did improve. One set of party (outside) photos were quite good especially portraits with the 55-300 lens. The weather was bright an...

Help with exposure
(but unexposing is not a problem as there is so much you can pull out of the picture later, but you can't do anything about overexposure!) Actually it's the other way around, you can get far more from overexposure then underexposure, as long as you don't clip it. :? Like Mike, I've also set my ca...

Help with exposure
Sounds to me like some of the problem could be monitor calibration, you really need to post a few of the offending images here, if everyone says "these are OK" you'll know where your problems is. Sending images to a Lab can be a pain because there is little or no calibration between what you see...

Help ! What is this mark on my photos ?
Take the lens off the camera, point the camera to a white wall or a4 paper, take a photo, if the same mark is there then its the sensor, if not it's your lens or filter, Jack.:mrgreen:

Help ! What is this mark on my photos ?
jackitec - I think the K-X has a tool to do that ? It takes a photo and shows a white screen - there is nothing on it ! That doesn't always work. Simply make a photo an over exposed photo at the widest aperture, everything you see on the photo pure black is dirt on the sensor, or actually dirt on...

K7 appears that light is getting in from the viewfinder
Hi Was doing some long exposures this morning with my K7 & sigma 10-20 CPL & NDx8 filter Towards the end of my mornings shooting I set up with a strong early sun straight behind me. Put camera in landscape and the exposures were all good. Put camera in portrait and the exposures were total...

K7 appears that light is getting in from the viewfinder
I get the same with my K7 on long exposures: 30 seconds or so in daylight with a 10 stop filter. Light will leak through the viewfinder during the exposure and 'fog' the image. You do have to block out the viewfinder during the exposure to avoid this. It has nothing to do with the metering as I a...

EXIF data
Hey Rosco I thought the surname was Coltrain (with an l). At least that is what Boss Hogg told me! Damn and blast... you beat me to it. I hadn't seen this when I posted . But it's :) I loved that series. Completely predictable in every respect, utterly silly, and it had Catherine Bach...

What's causing this?
1/5th sec is very slow, was the camera on a tripod? If it was, did you turn off Shake Reduction? The bridge shows what looks like camera shake but if this is the result of HDR software, it hasn't aligned the images properly. The green and magenta edges are classic chromatic aberration (CA). Di...

What's causing this?
Thanks for the replies... :) Gareth, I had this on my Manfrotto tripod, with 2 second delay, mirror up. Don, yes they are on ALL my RAW's. :( Peter, I had it on a tripod, 2 sec delay, mirror up, Shake reduction was on but, I think, is cancelled when 2 sec delay used. I had my UV filter on f...

Peter, I had it on a tripod, 2 sec delay, mirror up, Shake reduction was on but, I think, is cancelled when 2 sec delay used. I had my UV filter on front. Have seen the debate on this, may try some without to see if there is a difference. I'm just not sure if it's the lens or filter. Could it be the...

What's causing this?
Thanks Stefan, will check out your link tomorrow. Will also try another shot without the filter. :) Thanks for the info Don, I took 5 images using the K20D's bracketing at 1 stop intervals, all on a tripod and mirror up. I used Photomatix to stitch together. I have tried in the past using just on...

Spots 'n stuff
When using the dust alert, try it with the aperture as small as your lens will allow. The dust is not on the sensor itself, but on the AA filter in front of the sensor. Shutting down the aperture will allow the light that reaches the sensor to "focus" slightly in front of it, helping to show anyth...

photos through glass
Not so much a problem but need good advice. There are times when it is the only option. I always get an effect that degrades the picture. Have tried a polarizer without any real success. Is there a filter that will reduce or eliminate glare and reflection? Does double glazing create ...

Yes, it is a polarising filter. Have you tried rotating the filter whilst looking through the view finder? That is what I do and it works perfectly. If you can see whay you wanr to see then you have set the filter correctly.:D
