Filter cleaning
I also use lens wipes, the ones I currently have came from a discount shop and IIRC cost me £1.99 for 100. The brand name was Zeiss although I doubt they are from the camera manufacturer of the same name:D Not had any problems with them whatsoever and they're also invaluable if you wear glasses t...

That's good to hear. It's a pity he didn't tell you what (if anything) was wrong. It should be sharper than the 2 pics you've posted, but at least it's not suffering from flare. It's better to use a lens hood to get slightly better contrast. Excellent lens especially at the price you paid. ...

What has caused this effect?
I took this photo this evening, when I got home and checked it on the camera I appear to have two suns. I was using a K10d, with Pentax 28 - 80mm with a skylight filter. Could this be refraction within the filter? It doesn't trouble me, I'm just curious.

What has caused this effect?
I am sure someone will be able to confirm either way but it looks like it may be the effect of the filter, I am sure I read somewhere that this can happen.

What has caused this effect?
I am sure someone will be able to confirm either way but it looks like it may be the effect of the filter, I am sure I read somewhere that this can happen. Meant to add, I have ditched all filters now except ND Grads & Circular Polarizers and have noticed an increase in the IQ of my shots.

What has caused this effect?
It is a ghost image caused by light reflecting from the lens back onto the rear surface of the filter, yet another good reason for not using them! :wink: I have a few genuine Pentax Ghostless UV filters which are curved to prevent this effect happening. Although no longer made and they only come...

What has caused this effect?
OK...off with the filter unless needed. I tend to keep it on to protect the lens, just in case. Thanks guys. :)

What has caused this effect?
I took a sunset shot in Rovies Greece,(see my portfolio) but have never experienced the problems that you mention. I always keep the UV filter on my lenses,as it's so very much cheaper to replace a scratched filter than a lens!:lol:

What has caused this effect?
I've done quite a few sunsets and not seen it before this. Must have been the angle of the camera to the sun maybe. Still as long as it was only the filter, I know what to watch out for. I probably should have seen it in the viewfinder. I really should learn to slow down and look properly. :oops:

Morning guys Ive recently been trying out cheap ND filters off of Ebay to try and slow down the action during the day. However I dont know if what I am doing is correct or if the cheap filters are doing exactly what they say on the tin! I would have thought putting an 8 stopper and 2 stopper (b...

So my question is where do I come by these big stopper filters than can give me loooong exposures of 30 - 60 seconds. I don't want to spend big money. Unfortunately you may have to. A quality 10 stop ND filter will set you back about £100.00. Welding glass, which is actually 12-14 stops, will ...

I suspect what you have is an ND8 & a ND2 which should give 3 stops & 1 stop respectively. (ND8 reduces the light 8 fold which is halfing it 3 times). Photographic big stopper type filters are typically ~£100 You could always try out welding glass... V cheap, but you have to arrange your own mounti...

I bought a 52MM HAIDA Pro ND3.0 1000x off Fleabay a few months back for just over £25. I've only taken a couple of shots with it so far - definitely a 10 stopper. Possibly a *little* blue cast, otherwise looks fine. Andrew

Even though it was overcast it was probably quite bright. 10 stops will extend exposure by a factor of 1024. The equivalent exposure time without the filters would have been about 1/640s, which may be about right, although it does seem a bit on the short side. Bear in mind filters do vary and the...

I have a Heliopan ND 3,0 I get about 13 seconds in midday sun at f11(ish) iso100 It wasn't an expensive filter (49mm screw on type) and I like it a lot... I like your shots better than mine though

Depends where you live. I've heard Advanced Camera Services in Norfolk recommended. However, if you only paid £4 for your filters you might baulk at what it costs to get a sensor professionally cleaned!
