15-30mm filters
I havn't yet moved up to the 15-30 yet Mainly because of the cost of yet another filter system. So I'm stuck with the 24-70 at present. But I'm currently using glass filters from a company called Kase. Again not cheap. But I can highly recommend them. No colour residue and don't smash if you drop ...

15-30mm filters
Striking image Peter, how was it in colour. Any colour cast ? There seems to be a few types available, fotodiox pana 66, Lee 150, haida or nisi, Don't know about hi-tec. If it is advertised as fitting the Tamron 15-30mm does that mean it will fit the pentax ? Cheers The Lee Filters SW 150...

15-30mm filters
It's hard to know with any of them. All seem to have good and bad bits. The fotodiox is one I had looked at anyway and is a beast just like the lens, I do like it though. The nisi s5 has a geared wheel to rotate the cpl and can be used with 1 circular filter and 1 sqr or 2 sqr filters stacked....

15-30mm filters
Derek, filter size is another reason why I don't go for this lens. 150 system is just so big and hard to use. You can get for Lee, Formatt-hitech and Haida filters holder.

15-30mm filters
Cheers Irek, the 15-30mm is a savage lens. The size and weight are not an issue as it's well balanced on the K1. I knew when I got it that I may not keep it as it's a lot of money tied up in one lens. I might have to look at selling it on and try and find a 20-35mm to replace it along with a dece...

Seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water.
Hi all, How do people get on with the varying range of light and dark in seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water running around them? I’m thinking grad filter for the brighter sky. Or off camera Flash (shock horror :wink:) or Light Painting. Or multiple exposur...

Seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water.
Hi Richard, I don't have the answers but would too welcome advice. I have found that a ND grad is useful BUT that the soft ones are less effective than the hard ones. I carry a Kood ND4 Neutral grey which is two stops. I have a four stop ND for water but never really used it. Dull old Engla...

Seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water.
Using the bracketing option is useful for landscapes or seascapes with a definite horizon, And blended in Photoshop or a like program later. But I always feel like using filters and getting it right in camera makes you a more confident photographer. and far more rewarding. Though I do accept it make...

Seaside sunset/sunrise photos with rocks and long exposure water.
Hi Richard, If you are looking for something like this, This image is at dusk. Tripod mounted, a soft 3 stop ND grad filter, and a 6 stop ND filter if memory serves me right. The lens is stopped down, manual focused, and focused about a third of a the way in. I also check the focus with l...

To Landscape shooters: How often do you use your CPL shooting ultrawide?
To me the CPL is pretty much the only filter you can't get find a workaround to avoid using an actual physical filter. But I've heard they can be awkward to use on ultrawides. Do our landscape shooters regularly use them?

To Landscape shooters: How often do you use your CPL shooting ultrawide?
Yes, I was thinking of the effect on things like wet rocks and vegetation, rather than skies. I've bought a Samyang 14mm and I'm trying to assess whether filter use is going to be an issue. Although I literally haven't used a single filter of any type in about 8 years, maybe in future I might wa...

To Landscape shooters: How often do you use your CPL shooting ultrawide?
I also have a Samyang 14mm and from memory, there's a filter adaptor available or if your lucky, comes as part of the package and it uses fairly big gel filters, which are expensive !!

To Landscape shooters: How often do you use your CPL shooting ultrawide?
Yep, when I've used my 14mm, I've not bothered with any filters, if you've not got the filter adaptor, I may be open to parting with mine !!

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
Moving to a DSLR without an AA filter will probably bring one of the most notable changes (increased sharpness without PP) - if you're after a Used Pentax then the K5iis or K3ii would be a great move - the K3ii having the higher density sensor and the K5iis being a bit older (but still very capable)...

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
Yes, please let's remember that the AA filter affects only the "capture sharpening" of the image ...ie it's state at the point of capture. It's what happens to it afterwards that makes the real difference. I could easily produce a photo from the K7 that looks sharper than the same shot taken on ...

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
Some strange twists and turns in this thread :P The lack of an AA filter is widely acknowledged to increase sharpness of an image (or rather it removes the filter that reduces the sharpness) - I cant prove it, I can merely state my experiences which are based on buying a K5iis and seeing that the ...

Which Pentax DSLR to upgrade to ?
The effect of a well designed AA filter on an image captured with a Bayer array sensor is not the same as a Gaussian blur. It just happens to be cheaper not to have the filter and rely on the sensor outresolving the lens instead.
