I was thinking to buy a Hoya 72mm Haze UV Filter (probably non pro1) to be kept on the lens, and a polarizer to use sometimes for landscapes. Can I use them together or do I risk a degree of vignetting? To aovid that, do you think is better to get a larger polarizer filter +adaptor or a thinn...

Stacking filters is never a good idea to begin with, the lens company are very glad when they can drop one lens element in the lens design since quality and the lost of light becomes better. Whit every filter you put on you will reduce quality. I don't have the lens but stacking them might very w...

I have stopped using filters as protection - mine are uncoated Hoya and cause problems with unwanted secondary refractions (i.e. secondary images of bright objects, like the setting sun, sunlight off glass, etc.). I guess the answer is to buy coated (i.e. 'Pro') filters. (Update - from the lat...

Lens, well some lens seem to have a high destruct level, I managed to bounce my old Pentax 100-300mm FA. It did get some damage the area designed to screw on a filter is a little bent but the rest of the lens is in perfect working order only problem is if I wish to use a Polaroid, I can't. Don't ...

Probably you are right - UV may be useful in case of accident, but may degrade the image always. So I'm oriented to buy just a polarizer filter and maybe a ND later to be used when condition requires.

Not found a significant loss in quality from using a UV filter and a circular polarising filter on my Sigma lens. On the other hand, I now feel compelled to do some comparison shots! *laughs*

When placing glass on glass it should be quality, both B+W and Hoya produce quality filters. Using a lens hood to protect a lens can be quite detrimental, if the lens hood takes a knock it can severely damage the delicate screw thread on the lens itself - not a good idea. Hoya now manufacture a le...

Hoya 62mm Close Up +4 Filter
Not directly because the filter thread of the 18-55mm is only 52mm, but with the appropriate adapter ring sure. If it was a typo in the title and you meant 52mm, then yes.

Hoya 62mm Close Up +4 Filter
I have a 52-62 step up ring and a 62-77 step up giving many combination's for different filters, they are about £5 each, in your search engine type in step up rings and you will find them. Jack.

Hoya 62mm Close Up +4 Filter
Be aware that when using a step up ring that the ring,plus filter may not fit inside the fit inside the lens hood. I have used a 52-58 plus polarising filter on the DA 18-55. Steve

Tamron Adaptall 2 70-150mm f2.8 soft focus.?
Probably worth it because it's also a f/2.8 zoom. I don't know why but no one seems to use soft-focus with digital. With film nothing touched the Zeiss Softar filter. I've still got a 67mm diam. one that was made for the Contax camera. shim

SMC 135 f2.8
I found and bought one of these (second-hand obviously!) in one of our local camera shops. It's got the A position on the aperture ring, so far I'm happy with it. It has a built-in metal hood that slides out the front, and doesn't rotate when focussing (good when using a polarising filter). ...

The perfect walk around lens!!
Searching the Library of Congress reminded me of these unbelievable COLOUR Photographs of Russia by Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii from the same period (1909-1912). You might be interested in the PS technique used to restore them. If you look how he created the colour images it is in the same...

Sigma 17-70mm Macro
Its a very capable lens, Its on my camera 85% of the time! Take a look at my - The only bad point I have for it is that I wish it was weather sealed like the Pentax 16-50, It also has a 72mm filter thread, so filters tend to be a little more expensive that kitlens filters - the macro feature i...
