Lens shake?
Has the OP tried some shots without the UV filter, yet? ' Not yet, i'm hoping to take some tomorrow, unfortunately i don't have my tripod here but i'll try using some kind of support. I'll post the results here. I'll use no in-camera adjustments at all, shoot RAW, no 'Shake Reduction' and no...

Lens shake?
I will add my voice to the 'DA55-300 hates filters' brigade! It's true, for some reason this particular lens does not take a filter very well at all and the very first thing you should do is get rid of this! I think you might be surprised about what a difference it makes. Regards David

Lens shake?
To all who have advised removal of a filter from the 55-300, big THANK YOUs! :) I checked and have only just noticed that there is and always has been one on mine - but no more. :shock: All other lenses are filter free and remain so except when using polarising or neutral density filters. ...

Lens shake?
Well, I've been back to the rocks and tried again without the filter and this is the result: ISO 160 800th sec @ f7.1 @120mm I tried other subjects and it only seems to affect edges against white (or nearly white) backgrounds and seems worse on slightly out of focus edges Otherwise ...

Lens shake?
The problem seems to be in the out of focus plane. The rock in the top left hand corner that is in the focus plane does not exhibit the issue. Was the image from a processed RAW file or jpeg straight from the camera? I've always kept a filter on my 55-300 and never experienced any issue. No inte...

Hi Bill That is really strange. I go to Whitby virtually every month. I have photographed that lighthouse more times than I care to think. My normal set up for this sort of shot is: K5 + Sigma 10-20 Generally the 10-20 has a CPL on it plus if needed - ND grad 0.3,0.6, 0.9 or a combin...

Hi Bill OK - so crossing off a filter problem from the list...... next thing I would check would be the software you are using to import the image to your PC. Could it be a RAW processing issue? - not talking about processing the image - just the import conversion. Does it happen if you shoot ...

Massive thanks to Matt for having a forensically hard look at the original DNGs of these... really good of you and much appreciated... So, how can I put this nicely? Oh... I can't... turns out I'm a bit of an idiot (my words, Matt was much more polite than that!). So... actually these files D...

Hitech Filters - Very useful information
Hi Everyone Do any of you out there have a set of Hitech Filters? I do, the ND Grad 3 filter set, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 ND soft grads and very useful they are too. However, being made of resin, they are easily scratched / dulled, so you have to be careful with them and I have made the mistake of not b...

Colour cast when using ND filter
Below is an image taken without the ND filter. Imported directly into LR without any presets, then Exported to a JPEG for showing here : The second was shot using a Hi-Tech 0.9 ND filter, then processed exactly the same as above : My query is why I am getting such a terrible colo...

Colour cast when using ND filter
I have the Hitech ND grads, 0.3, 0.6 and 0.9 and I don't get colour casts like this. It may be to do with the WB settings, but 'm not sure. In actual fact I quite like it and prefer the colours on the second image to those on the first, which look a bit cold to my eye. Regards David

I have to say I like the 2nd one most. I have these grads but ain't used them as yet.

Colour cast when using ND filter
Thanks for your comments so far ! The first shot more accurately reflects the weather conditions. It was a cold, crisp day and nothing like the colours shown in the ND shot. The (auto) White Balance for the first loaded into LR as Temp = 4950, Tint +11. For the ND shot, it loaded as Temp =...

Colour cast when using ND filter
Looks like you have a "white" reference point. In lightroom select the white shutters/doors with the WB eye dropper. See if that gives you a decent starting point. I get a colour cast when I stack Hitech Grads, but if you can find a neutral gray or white you can usually sort it

Or use mirror up with remote control, then SR automatically switches off. :) (and on again, after you go back to normal shooting). I find I use the control panel for quick settings more than I need the full menu . One useful feature I would have on my wishlist is a customizable control panel, wh...

Broken filter thread
Hey, I was walking around, and my lens got side swiped by a passer by. Usually nothing special, but this time cap flew off with half the filter thread. So now I have only half (200 or so degrees) of the thread. I doubt I can buy these separately, so any ideas how to fix this? Current ideas...

It sounds like quite a swipe...which lens is this? I'd be looking at an insurance claim I think.
