I'm sure it will be, my only experience is with Pentax and Hoya. I'm selling a lens just now to finance a 67mm Hoya Polariser!

Carl, I did have a UV filter on that lens just for protection and it was an expensive one. Like I said, it's cheaper to buy another filter than to buy a new lens if you do drop it. Paul ps glad you received it ok Edit: spelling mistake

Clarky Maybe it's a habit that I am reluctant to let go of. From the age of 12, when my dad bought me my first camera, a Praktica MTL50, I have always popped a UV filter on the front of my lenses. Now I'm in my 30 somethings I still do that. I take so much care of my equipment that I will do a...

If you take a high level of care over a lens then what does it need protecting from? In fact, just as you would drive a car more carefully if it had a great big spike on the steering wheel pointed at your head, you will take even more care of your lens if you think it has less protection. These t...

This thread got me thinking and I decided to dig out all my filters just to see what I had squirrelled away. I rarely use any of them and to be honest, I don't know what half of them are for :? or if they are of high quality or not. Most of them I have picked up with gear I have purchased from e...

Well I love the idea of an 'Aroma' filter, does it make digital photos smell like they've come from a darkroom?:D I see you have the highly desirable, rare as hens teeth, Pentax Ghostless filter. I've only ever managed to pick one up on ebay, others going for much more than I was willing to pay. ...

Nice collection Clarky! I've got a similar boxful for the same reasons as you but only three of mine are genuine Pentax. I've even got the very same solitary B+W filter that you have! :) Really must get round to listing them all on eBay at some point along with all the odd hoods, caps, etc...

So what is that B+W filter used for :?: I found it inside my Takumar 500mm, is it some sort of UV filter. You wouldn't have any 49mm Takumar front or rear caps in that collection of yours by any chance :?: The B+W is a standard skylight filter - still in their catalogue today. I've actually got...

How good is these lenses?
Yes the adapter is quite expensive but the 105mm is now on €11.11 and €1.50 on the 200mm and just 3 days left, you know how hard it is just not to bid on it. I also don't mind being it full manual, I've used with delight M lenses from my uncle. The 105mm is 6cm long, filter size 6...

My latest Ebay aquisition
arrived today and inside the kettle box (strange things people pack Ebay itmes in) was an absolutely immaculate 90mm macro lens plus just as good macro tube, a set of reflector cards, a Tamron mist spray (never seen one of those before) a leather case for the lens and optional extra hood all package...

A used FA 80-320 or a new DA 55-300?
I'm currently watching this: if it sells for a good price I may be tempted to part with mine:D The first thing the buyer of that lens has to do is destroy that filter... I had a Cokin on the front of my Sigma 70-200 and was convinced I had a poor lens until I took the Cokin off....and I thou...

Filter system vs individuals
Hi all A couple of days ago I persuaded (hypnotised maybe?) myself that the rumoured Canadian prices increases to Pentax lenses might arrive in the UK and ordered a DA* 50-135 from SRS. The plan is that it will compliment my 18-55 II kit lens for the moment and eventually I will get 2 new lens...

Filter system vs individuals
The cost and convenience of the Cokin system are very attractive, especially when you consider how much three separate polarisers would be. Unless you are a professional, or expect to use filters a great deal, I would be inclined to go for the Cokins. They may not be quite as good as the best, b...
