Sigma 10-20mm ND grad Holder
I presume you are talking about square filter systems? Most square filter manufacturers also produce special wide angle filter holders. As long as you get one of those, you should be fine, as that's what they are for. A decent camera shop should be able to let you try one before you part with...

Sigma 10-20mm ND grad Holder
The left and right sides of the Kood P filter holder are visible in the viewfinder at 10 to 12mm. Remember as well that the viewfinder doesn't quite show the whole frame.

Sigma 10-20mm ND grad Holder
Thanks for that iceblinker,I thought I had read somewhere that the Kood holder was visible in the viewfinder, anyone got a link for a wide angle filter holder, As bonkers as it sounds I have been hand holding my ND grad but it is not ideal :D:D

Sigma 10-20mm ND grad Holder
Which system do you use DonaldM? I use Formatt filters, and the wide angle holder is here; http://www.formatt.co.uk/stills-filters/hardware-85mm/mk2-aluminium-holder.aspx I think Cokin do one too, but researching this some the problem is that at 10mm any P series filter will vignette. Yo...

The difference between 10, 12 and 16?
Polarisers are very tricky to use with ultra-wide lenses because the polarisation of light in the sky is not even. Bands of different gegrees of polarisation become visible and it's not a pleasant effect. The natural vignetting that occurs with lenses as wide as the 12-24mm can be enough to darke...

Macro Advice from the experts please!
The 100mm macro is sublime for macro work - flowers, bugs etc. It's also a cracker for lowlight work (like my kids in school plays) where you can't use flash. Even when using bounced flash and shooting at f/4 the macro really shines. (Knocks dead some "pro" shots! LOL!) For portrait work - yes, ...

lense storage
Thanks Peter / John Just wondered if it would be better to stand on the filter ring with cap removed on a glass shelf, this would remove the possibility of fungus developing in dark conditions. Regards Jim

Can amateurs justify Professional quality lenses?
Naaa, 300mm for portrait work from a distance and ultra wide for when she puts on weight :twisted:[/quote] Not forgetting to use the "Slim " filter on the K20D.....:lol::lol:

Pentax 12-24mm f4 users
Hi all, Many thanks for your replys. I am going to have a look around and see this lens. Is it possilbe to use Cokin P filters on the 12-24 without the filter or filter holder showing? Also, can a UV filter be used without effecting the image. I think this lens has the SP coating, but with...

I think this lens has the SP coating, but with a bulbus glass, might need protecting. I use the Cokin P Wide Angle Holder (the one with just a...

I do have a UV filter attached to mine with no problems. It is a lovely lens but as El Dingo said, ultra wide does require a bit of thought! I tend to have that lens attached to my camera most of the time even though I tend to use it more at the 24mm end. Cheers, Kris.

I am sure gimp will have sharpening in there somewhere, it is pretty much a basic must-have feature for any photo editing software. Confusingly, it is called the "unsharp mask" in photoshop and hides in the filter menu. When to sharpen and by how much, etc., is quite an involved topic. It is ...

Shooting through perfectly clean clear glass should have no detrimental affect when there is no glare. Small spots of dirt on the glass slightly reduces sharpness; greasy smears more so. A polarising filter sometimes helps with reflections and glare.

55mm F1.4 SMC or the 50mm F1.4
Just briefly looking at the coupling ring for the 55-300 and the 50/1.4 I see that I need the 58mm as the size of the 55-300 is that but when I check the 50/1.4 one it says (Filter N/A). How do I find out which is the diameter for this to attach it to the first lens facing it? Am I missing something...

55mm F1.4 SMC or the 50mm F1.4
Amin, :D All the current 50mms are 49mm filter thread: http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/lenses/primes/normal/FA50f1.4.html (BTW, reversing a lens in this way requires the lens have an aperture ring - otherwise the aperture remains almost closed. That's another good reason for the SMC-FA 50mm f/1.4 ...

Which Lens?
I would be using them in a studio envirioment, so wide open is not possible Sorry for asking Iain, but why not? I also shoot around the f/8 because the flashungs wouldn't go lower but I've bought a ND filter now because I wanted some bokeh sometimes.
