Is width everything?
Davex I have the sigma 10-20 and I'm very pleased with it. I bought it after some research based on reviews, price and build quality. The only thing I initially overlooked with 'going wide', especially for landscapes, was the impact on my filter kit. In the end I ditched my cokin p series and...

Standard ND Lee filters: resin or ProGlass?
I can't imagine why you would want to use standard ND's at all for digital work. The same effect can be easily achieved in post processing. Not if you want a longer shutter speed than your aperture/iso combination will give you. Then an ND filter is really your only option (or a polariser, but t...

Stacking photos gets you some of the way there but still not quite the...

Standard ND Lee filters: resin or ProGlass?
Thank you Kris, was hoping it would do the job very reasonably up to the point that a ND might not be needed. As for ND, isn't it better to get screw-in of them instead of square. I believe you will get problems with light reflecting from the square filters onto the sensor. I know that I need t...

Standard ND Lee filters: resin or ProGlass?
I can't imagine why you would want to use standard ND's at all for digital work. The same effect can be easily achieved in post processing. The standard and graduated ND filters are some of the very few left which I CAN see a need for. If you're on ISO 100 and your shutter speed is still too high...

Standard ND Lee filters: resin or ProGlass?
When lights come from the back of the camera it can reflects directly into the lens through the square filter. When you've a screw in only the front of the filter is expose so every light needs to go through that filter if it wants to reach the sensor. A coating might lessen the effect but would...

Standard ND Lee filters: resin or ProGlass?
Don't think any one has come up with one since it would hinder handling. A thing that might help is to put some cloth over it, at least I was thinking about that but never tried it. If you plan to do a lot of long exposure shots I would suggest to take a look at Shingh-ray Vari-ND filter. It goe...

Wide aperture wide angle lenses
I have the Sigma 20mm f1.8 & love it. Mike, my recent "handbag" shots on flickr were using the Sigma 20mm. I would think that it wouldn't appeal to you Mike as it's a rather large lens (82mm filter) & I know you like to pocket a few primes when out & about.

RIP SMC-M 200mm
I went out for a walk this afternoon and decided for a change I would take my ME-F with MEII powerwinder, and my SMC-A 28mm, SMC-K 55 and 135mm and my SMC-M 200mm. Sadly, I tried to change lenses whilst walking, talking and admiring the view. The 200mm lens is no more. I dropped it on the tarmac ...

macro lens 5omm prime or 35-70 zoom
OK I have a feeling I am getting this all wrong, it is not so important to physically get close to the object [example a spider]as to be able to get a full frame of it or as close as possible, so does that mean I need to get close physically by using a specific lens and reversing ring or tube or sho...

SMC 1.8/55. Anybody use it?
I have this lens from brand new! Mint condition, with the original leather case and I have had a filter on it since new, I love it and it gives me great shots :)

Portrait Lens advice
I'm with hefty. the drawback to the zooms is gonna be variable apertures as you zoom, constant aperture zooms are best... but the 50 and 100 macro (the 50 with 1.7 teleconverter would work nicely...) are your best bets.. the 16-45 may be useful if the space is cramped.... the next problem you ma...

Pentax SMCP FA 100mm f/2.8
The f3.5 is also not a true 1:1, it is 1:2 I believe, although you can use a screw on filter to get 1:1.

77mm filters
Am I right in thinking that the Samsung 12-24 is a 77mm filter as well as the 16-50 f2.8? So I can use the same filters on both lenses? Im just checking as I am in the process of buying a Samsung 12-24 which has filter size of 77mm and I am also looking to buy the Pentax 16-50 f2.8 as that use...

77mm filters
Luke Both lenses tak a 77mm thread filter yes. Regarding the ebay filter deal, this is my opinion : If you are going to spend a lot of money on aquiring good lenses, you will be doing yourself a disservice by putting a cheap filter on the front of it. I have no idea if the ones you linked t...

77mm filters
Pete was to quick for me, but at least we think alike :? Haha .......and like Clarky I also only use a polariser. No UV or "protection" filter for me. No need.
