Generally, filters are not needed with DSLRs and can detract from the image quality. The exception is where any filtration has to be in front of the lens, such as polarisers (when needed, not all the time as I see some photographers using them) or maybe ND. Most other filter effects can be done i...

All my lenses have filters, skylight or similar. I'd rather clean any gunge from a filter than the front element of a lens. David

Don't use a filter with the 55-300, this particular lens hates filters and it will ruin the IQ. If you plan on using a filter with the 16-45, it has to be a polariser, especially somewhere like Australia where the light is bright. Colours and skies will ping with the good polariser, my recommend...

Using filters or not depends entirely on who you ask. My advice is to ask yourself what you'd like to do. In any case using filters or not has nothing to do with Australia, the Australian sun happens to be the same sun that shines over the UK. If you're heading to the coast a skylight filter mig...

It may be the same sun Steve, but I think you have the advantage on us in hogging its use! You're right about sea-spray, that's a good use for a filter.

"SMC Pentax-DA Interchangeable Lens Operating Manual" page 32. Use a circular polarising filter with an autofocus camera for proper exposure and autofocusing.

"SMC Pentax-DA Interchangeable Lens Operating Manual" page 32. Use a circular polarising filter with an autofocus camera for proper exposure and autofocusing. Interestingly, I've found that even with circular polarisers (I've tried many different ones), the 55-300 doesn't work properly with them. ...

Thanks everybody for responding and for your comments and advice, I've learnt a few things from this. I currently don't use any filters but I was unaware of the "problem" of filters with a 55-300, thanks David (Storm). I was also very pleased to get Steve(Ledger)'s comments about not using filters i...

Never use filters. Not even polarizing to reduce unwanted reflections? No Not even ND to allow a longer exposure? Tried one for a wedding I shot in Greece but made AF impossible Not even a yellow filter with panchromatic film to enhance the sky? No Filters can have their uses. Some Pentax lense...

Hi Howard Long time no see/ speak. I fear to tread on the ground that is filter rights an wrongs, however, whilst I have not had much on the water photo experience what I have learned is that if you are close enough to the water while whale watching (or anything else) then I would use a UV fil...

the good and the bad
I prefer the 20-40 ltd HD but it's crop only, the 18-135 is decent. 16-85mm is good and has a better portrait focal range. It's not as good in full sunlight as the 18-135 so you may need a uv filter at times particularly for even sharpness across the image.

Inexpensive cIrcular polarising filters.
I personally dont know how to answer this If i'm honest. As I dont really know what I would be looking for ? I own a mid priced 72mm Kood cpl filter. It seems to do the job. Images are sharp. It certainly doesn't leave a colour cast. So how do you judge the success of it ? I'm not a great landsca...

Clearly you shouldn't go if you are looking for operating tips and tricks with your camera. You'll have to know already how to set up and engage the common modes and working procedures. It would help if you were familiar with some common CaNikon / Pentax terminology translations. ....eg "Evaluative"...

Long exposure without an ND filter
I came across this technique while looking for a workaround to use with my Samyang 14mm. I can't afford a 150mm filter system, so this looks like it might be worth playing with. It's a technique that's also used for star trails. You take multiple exposures and blend them. Say you have 10 x 3-seco...
