UV or Protector
But how about where Dr Mhuni works in harsh semi desert conditions? I can see why he might want a filter for protection. I don't use one but I do use the lens hood. However I can see that in a dusty environment I'd maybe get a filter. Mike

80B Filter on a DSLR
Hi Folks! Started fooling around with white balance on my K110D. I was getting tired of the yellow cast created by tungsten bulbs. Setting balance to Tungsten helped - but not as much as leaving the setting on AWB, and putting on my trusty 80B filter I used for spot-lit macro work in my film days...

Mac, I have never owned a K110D:( But on the AWB setting can't you adjust the setting + or -:?::idea: to do the same thing. Regards

Yeah Mac I've played around with all my filters. Do try this: look up custom white balance in your manual.... use a sheet of white (or even light orange colored) paper or cloth, under your incandescent lights and set a custom white balance. now you got the effect of a filter without losing 2 s...

Yes and dont forget AWB has limits of what colour temperature it will calibrate correctly. I am pretty sure tungsten light is outide the limit , so manual WB adjustment is the way to go.

is a great tool for accurately setting white balance. If you go for it, don't make the same mistake I did by buying a small one. Buy the 77mm (it'll fit most lenses currently available) and use cheap step down rings for lenses with smaller than 77mm filter threads.

I can get both exposure and white balance off my kodak grey card.

Getting white balance right is fine if you want "correct" colours, but creative photography doesn't always need such neutrality. Some very dramatic images do not have accurate white balance. The only point I'm making is although it's necessary to understand how to achieve a correct result, we sho...

I once had an assistant who turned up and the only thing he had brought for white balncing was a bus ticket :roll: He didn't last long :twisted:

Ken, Terry, John, Don, Peters and George. Thanks to you all for the quick replies! Dug out the manual (again) and sho'nuf, there on page 115 was something I didn't understand the first few times around - that I could adjust white balance in manual by shooting something like a grey card under t...

80B Filter on a DSLR
Tried it and it works! The camera is quite fussy about what it will handle, and I got a lot of NG (No Good - try again). I think on the older models like the k110D, the Kelvin temperature range (2000 to 12,000) may not be wide enough to handle ALL lighting situations, resulting in the NG results. Bu...

Glad to hear it worked for you. Although if 2000 - 12000 K is not enough,, then you can't be on Earth! :shock:

John wrote: you can't be on Earth! :shock: Aw, c'mon, John! You've known THAT for years now! You're right of course, 2000K to 12,000K spans the whole spectrum of light. My NG results must be from another failure in the test. Neither my camera nor I do well on tests:oops:

But it does have an anodised aluminium mount and a tasteful blue nylon lanyard George, and a quick release clasp too. :lol: I have to concede that it lacks those vital accoutrements. But with paper you can adjust the white balance. If I need a slightly warmer white I scribble on the paper with a...
