Filters, which ones do I need?
While gargling for I found this page on which tells us almost everything we need to know. Or at least its a good start. Now I don't need to write a filter treatise. Whew. Well, it does leave out a little. Use a Yellow filter when shooting garish colored neon lights at night. Use a Red filter ...

Filters, which ones do I need?
I find I can duplicate most filter effects in Photoshop, but if you do want to use coloured filters don't forget not to use AWB or the camera will undermine your efforts.

Photo Critique
I think that the original poster does make a fairly accurate observation. However I think there are a lot of posters on here who keep things quite light hearted and dont want to get too serious (perhaps they regard the site as entertaining and fun!). These people may leave comments that may be a ...

eBay madness
I have always done as Mark does. For example, a filter that sells for £50 comes up, the seller is reliable and says it is as brand new with postage of £3. The most I'd pay is £35 quid, less postage, my maximum bid therefore is £32. I put that bid in anytime since if someone else bids more I'll lo...

UV filter?
A UV filter will be a good idea at any time to help protect the lens. Also a Polarizing Filter will also come in handy as it's a sunny country.

UV filter?
Yes it will always do harm if you see it is another point. Just watch out for flares.

UV filter?
A uv/skylight filter will have no photographic effect, it will not protect the lens since this flimsy and fragile piece of glass will break with an impact that wouldn't damage the front element. The resulting shards of glass will damage your lens. A CPL and a hood are essential, especially the ho...

UV filter?
Assuming that you’re not going to be taking photographs in bars or at parties or BBQ's where drinks and food tend to be airborne at some point or other, (been there and done it). It's a lot easier to clean a filter than the front of a lens. You just need to hope that your CPL does not take an imp...

UV filter?
would it do any harm to leave the UV filter on all the time being a sunny country and also i dont yet have a lens hood, Each filter adds two air-to-glass surfaces to the image path and each surface is a potential source of image-degrading flare. When I shot full-time I kept a UV filter on every lens...

grrrrrr eBay numpties
If it wasn't for Ebay I would be without my K10 and K20 and four lenses etc....I have obviously been lucky as everything I have bought has been first class. However, in the last fortnight I have asked questions of three sellers and none have bothered to answer. Too many people selling lenses that...

Which Filter for Spain?
I am off to Spain (Costa del Sol) a week on Saturday, and this year will be taking my DSLR. Any tips on the best filters to take gratefully accepted! Thanks.

A circular polariser and a couple of ND grads if you have them. Star burst for night time twinkles etc. A clear or UV for when the party warms up and food & drink go air born. Best regards

You don't need the starburst filter now - I think the K-r can do this with the in-camera image editing? I know the K-m can.
