Copy Stand
Richard You are welcome to borrow my copipod if it's a short term project. I think I only have the 49mm adaptor for it. Thatnks, that is a kind offer. I don't intend to do the photographing for a few months (meaning, I am too busy now) so I may get back to you later if I may. But in the meant...

How do i take Pictures of lightning
just an idea, but during the day if you were to stop down and/or use an ND filter to give you a nice long exposure time you'd have a better chance of catching a strike. It will never look as impressive during the day though. Also with regard to the noise cancelation setting, there's nothing to...

Thinking to buy a K10D kit from .SRS, I have some questions
.... Next thing is to get a remote & a dedicated flash, but all in good time as I’ve spent my pocket money for a least the next 3 months :( I know what you mean - I still need (or is that want?) a tripod, bag, zoom lens ... I get the feeling this is going to be an even more expensive hobb...

Thinking to buy a K10D kit from .SRS, I have some questions
Just one point. A skylight or UV filter also can't be replaced digitally, though whether you'll need one depends on whether you plan to spend time on misty mountaintops. G after you've bought all that stuff (and don't forget that computer needs as much RAM as you can shoe horn into it!) I doubt ...

Thinking to buy a K10D kit from .SRS, I have some questions
Remember that UV light has less effect on digital sensors than film. I've even seen it stated that UV has virtually no effect on digital. I’ve been reading the debate as regards filters on the front of lenses as protection, all the for & against :? I always had a skylight filter on my lenses w...

Macro options
I've got a 35mm F2 which I'd like to use as a Macro ideally through the use of extension tubes (or failing that a magnifying filter). Does anyone have any recommendations along these lines? I noticed that a lot of Hong Kong based sellers have tubes available for very little on ebay. Should I be s...

Ultra Violet sensitivity
Does anyone have any information Re: the sensitivity of the sensor used by Pentax to UV?? I have searched 2 forums and the net. All I have so far is on the following site http://www.dpfwiw.com/filters.htm#uv There is nothing specific to the pentax sensor which I believe is manufactured by Son...

Ultra Violet sensitivity
Pentax use three different sensors for their digital SLRs: 6MP, 10MP and 14MP. The 14MP one in the K20D is not just a different make, but a different type altogether. www.dpfwiw.com/filters.htm#uv states that UV affects digital sensors to a "much lesser extent than film", and elsewhere...

Don't click here if you don't like UV filters on your lenses
Ok, I admit it. I bought a Hoya 77mm Pro1 digital UV filter to protect (yes, goddammit) the front of my new 10-20. I know I'm evil. I don't switch the camera off between lens changes, and I forget where the lens cap is quite often (that's one reason I like the transparent, screw-on type that ...

Breathe on the filter and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth. That should get 99% off the stuff off. Other methods may remove a further 0.9%. Even when using high-quality cleaning fluids, I don't believe 100% of contamination can ever be removed by a mere mortal. Examine with a bright white LE...

Breathe on the filter and wipe with a clean microfibre cloth. That should get 99% off the stuff off. This is what was worrying me - the microfibre cloth was almost new, and that's exactly what I did. I'll try the fluids suggested next.. thanks all.

Filters?
I have "inherited" a cokin filter adapter and a couple of filters from my mum ( not that she's dead yet :wink: ) My question is this; is it worth buying filters such as graduated filters or warming filters to use when taking the shot, or, am I best to edit it later now that I'm getti...

Filters?
I hardly ever use filters on digital. All filter effects are done in Photoshop. You obviously understand what the exceptions might be, such as effects filters and polarisers.

tape the warming filter to your flash... check out the varicolor filters, polarizers, and graduated nd's...... add some step up/down rings to fit your lenses..... get an adapter for your video cam also...

Filters?
Thanks for the speedy reponses :lol: You've pretty much confirmed what I thought I knew. I've got a polariser, so I'll look out for an ND filter. I've seen them advertised as ND4 ND8 etc. Presumably the level of "darkness". What am I best going for and how best to use it?

Filters?
There are two types of ND filter. One is ND across the whole filter. It's for making the whole frame darker - so that you can open up the lens, for example, to get less DOF, even in very bright light. The other type is graduated ND, where half the filter is clear, and half ND. This is common...
