A funny line in my image
There are some very bright, burnt-out areas. I wonder whether one of them is causing problems, perhaps internal reflections within the camera itself or even overloading the sensor's electronics. Do you still get an artefact with an ND filter if there are no very bright spots? Steve

What ND filters/holder are you using ? If you are using something like the Lee system, rather than a screw-in filter you need to be covering the area where the holder meets the front of the lens during the exposure. A baseball cap or piece of cloth or even your hand will do. Using too small a ...

A funny line in my image
Is it due to light getting in through the viewfinder? It might be that if the viewfinder isn't covered. It would seem this could be the case as it also does it with a screw-in filter. Although when I did along exposure without covering the viewfinder, the light leakage was more evenly spread across...

Takumar 20mm Hood
Can someone explain why the Takumar 20mm f4.5 lens hood comes in two parts? I understand the lens has a 58mm filter thread, but does the OEM hood being in two parts mean a standard hood does not fit?

Takumar 20mm Hood
Can someone explain why the Takumar 20mm f4.5 lens hood comes in two parts? I understand the lens has a 58mm filter thread, but does the OEM hood being in two parts mean a standard hood does not fit? Is it to allow a filter to be used ?

Takumar 20mm Hood
The actual filter size of the lens is 58mm, but the hood is in two parts to enable 77mm filters to be fitted between the two parts. This is to avoid vignetting being caused by the filter.

Pentax K-3 iii - Can it really be this noisy?
In case you haven't already seen it, here's a link to the 'other forum' where the K3 iii's noise is reviewed with examples . As far as RAW files are concerned it concludes that "Up to ISO 12800, it is hard to notice any noise contribution". Perhaps their subject was more forgiving than a blue sky. ...

A20 daylight slow shutter limits...
Plus, buy a nice dark ND filter so you can use longer shutter speeds in daylight.

Can a filter be fitted to an A20? If not, just hold it in front of the lens. Good idea!

My new P&S ?
Surely you can put any p&s into 'auto' and just forget about it? That model has a good reputation for noise control. Panasonic Lumix DMC FS62 also seems to offer great picture quality and image stabilisation for about £120.

X70 and X90. Any good?
I was in dubrovnik last weekend and took my K20D as normal, plus my little Fuji S5000. The K20D was as usual excellent, but the Fuji? well I think now it is time for it to retire. Mainly to do with only 3MP, ISO200 as its base speed, only Xd cards and it is noisy! However I will miss its ability to...

Low shutter speed overexposed at max aperture should I get a new lens?
Hello Jade a variable ND filter for your lens would have helped you out. Once you've got the lowest ISO the smallest aperture the only other thing to do to extend the exposure time is to reduce the light into the lens with a ND filter would do that without adjusting the colours you're trying to capt...

Low shutter speed overexposed at max aperture should I get a new lens?
If you are at the beach on a sunny day there will be *lots* of light so normal exposures will tend to be at high shutter speeds. If you want to get the shutter speed as slow as possible choose the lowest ISO available on the camera and the smallest aperture (in your case f22) and then take the sh...

Low shutter speed overexposed at max aperture should I get a new lens?
Thanks guys really useful looks like a neutral density filter might be the best idea. I probably won't need it often its rarely sunny in the north east haha! Are they difficult to use or do you just literally stick it on and take the picture (obviously after adjusting aperture). Is there any you'd r...

Low shutter speed overexposed at max aperture should I get a new lens?
To expand on gwing's near complete answer You'd have to have a really tiny aperture to get long exposures on a sunny day. For significant effect you need shutter speeds less than a second - 200 times less than you were getting. The only way to get close with aperture is to use a pinhole rather th...
