Filter System - Advice please
I use the Hitech 85mm grads. They are very good and fit in the Cokin A holders. There are however two downsides to the Hitechs IMO: 1. They vignette in the Cokin holder on some lenses (DA 17-70 causes problems at the wide end, whereas strangely the DA 16-45 has no such issues) 2. They do in...

Filter System - Advice please
HI All Thanks for the responses. IF I've got this correct, a wide angle (DA15) requires a wide angle adaptor ring to fit it's thread size? (potential issues with the in built hood on DA15) and I'd need a standard adaptor ring for every different thread size of lens I wish to use? Thanks Jo...

How could it be possible?
I used a cheap 49mm filter with the glass removed and screwed its rim to the lens of my DA 15mm to make an extension to fit a circular polariser as helpfully suggested by a forum member. It worked fine and was able to extend the hood as well as fitting the cap. Used it yesterday and found to my ...

Could try a ring of blue tack around filter, stick it to kitchen worktop and unscrew lens off filter?

Marigold gloved hand placed flat accross the filter! Pink or yellow glove either is fine....

How could it be possible?
Squeezing the filter too hard will deform it and that makes it much more difficult to remove. The Marigold idea is sound. There are also special filter removal grips that hold the pressure equally all round the rim.

How could it be possible?
Push the filter gently onto/into the sole of a shoe, then maintaining pressure, unscrew the lens from the filter.

You could also try a rubber band around the filter to give some traction.

How could it be possible?
You need to take a more technical approach to this problem with an understanding of the physics of friction which is the underlying issue. Grip the camera tightly in a vice, take a hammer to the glass, smash it, and you will find it easier to tear the rim off with a pair of pliers. If that doe...

How could it be possible?
Have just remembered, I have used those jam-jar lid openers (gently) and that has always worked as they effectively grip in four places equally around the filter Andy

How could it be possible?
The real problem is that the two threads are either: metal to metal without any lubrication - such as oil, grease or graphite and will often cause problems. Any lubrication can easily seem onto the glass which is not wanted or, paint to paint and the dimensions of those are not tightly con...

How could it be possible?
As previously suggested, a jar opener will do it, it'll scratch the filter on the outside though.

Lightroom 5 released
You can upgrade from any version of Lightroom to v5 for £50. Would definitely go for 5, I've been using the beta since it came out and find a use the new radial graduated filter so often it's very frustrating going back to 4.

Lee vs Hi Tech ND Grads
Broke a Lee 100mm 0.6 nd grad the other day... Looking for a replacement... Seem to be very expensive as one off replacements (@ £70ish for a single 0.6 filter at Teamwork/Dale).. Interested as to whether: a) Hi Tech nd grads are absolutely colour neutral (particularly on long exposures) and a vi...

Lee vs Hi Tech ND Grads
In truth Bill - having never used Lee - I cannot say how close the hi-tech are. Having previously used Cokin pro - I can say that they are significantly better than Cokin You are kidding yourself with your "just a bit cheaper" - they are much cheaper. Typical tog justification:D:D I broke the ...

Image Content issues vs Output Needs
If you allow a printer to re-size your prints, you don't have the option of sharpening them yourself. Enlarged prints should be sharpened after re-sizing; you will not get the same results sending an already sharpened file and allowing them to enlarge it. On smaller enlargements this may not be part...
