I recently got a Marumi 77m circular polariser after reading of the major players. Read before you buy, because Hoya fared shockingly badly (considering their fairly high cost)!!!! (Although note that Hoya had all top 3 positions in the same site's UV filter comparison). Also worth noting that B+W...

Graham, like you said UK photographers are Hoya minded might also be the case that the EU mainland are more B+W orientated since they are German. Here B+W is often cheaper the Hoya Tim interesting comparison. :) Also worth noting that B+W's most expensive CPL turned out to be a LP Yeah very ...

B+W is also an option although it seems I'm the only one shooting with them Not the only one Stefan. When I do use a filter (rarely these days) my collection are B+W, Heliopan, Pentax and Hoya.

Im thinking I may not even bother with a filter now. Just use a lens hood and then cap when the lens is not in use? Or just go for a protector?

Not the only one Stefan. When I do use a filter (rarely these days) my collection are B+W, Heliopan, Pentax and Hoya. Glad to know that John. You also use Heliopan, I've heared the handling of them is better then B+W. what is your thought about that? Im thinking I may not even bother with a filt...

I can see a reason for NOT fitting a filter, but personally for my main uses out here (desert) I often have to clean fine dust off the filter. At times I've wondered if the whole camera was electrostatic! I've covered prize givings where beer and Champagne have covered everything in range. On to...

Has anyone proved that a basic filter degrades the image? Here is one you can simply do in the sun. Try to capture some sun flares with your lens, try it with and without a filter. :wink: The result depend on how good the coating is on the filter but with cheap ones you can't expect much goods.

Gary, it's one of them though. But quality, colour depth, sharpness, those test are hard to find. Colour depth is one of the things why you use a filter, PL, UV sky filters they all enhance the colour so you won't see a decrees on that. the rest... well most is quite theoretical, since you ad...

Hi Stefan, I think I'll stick with what has worked for me over the years. It's a strong comfort factor if nothing else and one less thing to think about whilst shooting. I agree with your comments above. Not quite sure how to cpmpare not using a "decent" filter, maybe like riding a motorcycl...

OK I'm a cheapskate... but I have found the 7Dayshop multicoated "pro" filters to be very good and incredibly cheap. I can certainly see no discernable adverse effects on picture quality at my "skill" level. 77mm UV multicoated filter for the princely sum of £8.99. It's not the thinnest of fil...

I think it depends how you shoot. If you potter round the countryside taking pictures of fast moving trees then a don't think a UV/protector is required. If you go down the local skate/bike park and shove your lens in front of the latest hot shot as he boardslide towards you then besides a UV ...

Not quite sure how to cpmpare not using a "decent" filter, maybe like riding a motorcycle without the use of a visor, forgetting the wind effect, you will get the clearest image at the risk off? The biggest different is the coating, so a good one would be: - easier to clean - less prone to fog up ...

12-24mm on full frame K7.....
I have a Sigma 10-20 and I'm happy with it but I think the 12-24 supporters will say it suffers from more distortion and thank the lord it does because that's one its characteristics that I like. I suspect that the 12-24 will suit your needs better. The original Sigma 10-20 (the DC F4-5.6) sho...

Sigma 50-150mm HSM II DC EX f2.8
Was the 100-300mm DG EX f4 new Mike? I can see why your bank balance is taking a hit :shock: Mind you everything I have read about this lens seems very positive. Shame it's not weather sealed... having said that I might be temped to pull the trigger on one at some point :) Nope, £580 off Ebay ......

Sigma confusion
Yours is the EX version, better than any red band versions. Also the 82mm filter size is important to differentiate from other similar models. I think yours is a top lens, same as I tried when buying a similar but 28-70 EX model with 77mm filter size which is my favourite studio lens. Your lens shou...

Andrew, I bought the GX10 Jan 2008 and it and the kit lens have been fine. I've completed an A level over the past two years. I wanted to start a foundation degree part time this year and it didn't run and neither did a diploma course as a back stop. So hey-ho here I am. University of life,...
