What ND filters and vignetting risk
Hi Bill, I use the Formatt/Hi-tech ND Graduated Soft in the 85mm (Cokin P) size with a cokin P wide holder that has the outer filter slot cut off (to allow it to be used on a 14mm without vignetting). I have read that Cokin filters have a pinkish colour cast. I bought mine direct from http://w...

What ND filters and vignetting risk
Hi Bill I have used virtually all types you can think of. I now exclusively use Cokin P (85mm) and the hi-tech 100mm system. the Cokin set will be totally redundant once I buy a couple more adapter rings for the hi-techs The Cokin P are fine if you just use one filter but as Lenny mentions ...

What ND filters and vignetting risk
Hi Bill, Having seen Alan's results with the Hitech 100 kit I went ahead and bought them myself. I bought the soft grads, though. I haven't used grads before, but so far I am very happy with my purchase, though not used much as yet. I've used 2 grads stacked and have seen no cast at all. I...

Removing PF with Elements 10 or LR3
With some of my lenses I have big issues with this, sadly I have not come across a perfect solution either. I am using LR4.1, and that 'Remove Chromatic Aberration' button have never done anything for me. The eye drop tool to select colour to defringe does help a bit though, but not exceptionally...

Crash! Bang! Wallop!
Last night, my KR fell off a tripod. It works okay except....my status screen will no longer auto rotate. Any ideas? On holiday a couple of weeks ago, my KR was in the shoulder back which fell off something onto the floor. Later, when I opened the bag, the filter on the front of the Sigma 10-20 ...

This underscores the importance (for me) of ALWAYS keeping a filter and cap on your lens EVERY SECOND the camera is not in use. It's a no-brainer.

[ It's not just the front element, there are a number of cases where the thread has been so damaged by the filter that it becomes non-viable after the broken filter has been removed. Perversely (for you at least!) my view is that, if anything, the threads on those lenses where that happened would ...

My today's fighting against polarising filter
I bought a Hoya PRO1 Digital Circular Polarising filter to my smc DA* 16-50/2.8 ED AL [IF] SDM lens. This filter has low-profile frame that is good to avoid the vignetting at the wide-angle end of the lens. I used it many times without any problems. But last time I forgot to remove it from the lens...

My today's fighting against polarising filter
I've also put on washing up gloves (aka Marigolds) to get some extra grip ;) But the hair-drier tip is useful... as long as it's not too hot! Matt

The gloves is also a great idea and that has an advance, you can use that on the spot. ;) OOps! I just noticed that the title has mistypes. The title correctly: My today's fighting against polarising filter :D

My today's fighting against polarising filter
Another tip I use for many 'stuck items' is a flat boot lace and some long nose pliers - wrap the bootlace carefully around the offending item then grip the ends of the boot lace and begin to roll it up - the excess lace creates a bit of a cushion for the pliers then once it begins to get tight the ...

My today's fighting against polarising filter
Nice idea Stuey but the problem with your suggestion is that my low-profile frame filter has approximately 1mm fix part where you can grasp that and you can't strain the bootlace to that part. :)
