DA 16-45mm - which filter?
Well yesterday I managed to win one of these on ebay in an excellent condition at a good price :D. I've read a lot about the performance of these lenses and it will probably end up as a Christmas pressie for my other half to use on her K20D when we go away in January. I'm trying to convince her th...

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
Just go for Hoya, you at least know what you get then and the difference between UV filter prices is minimum compared to the lens price.

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
Thanks Stefan. I know that they have different ranges, blue, green, etc. Should I go for the Digital range then?

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
Rob, now you are asking things I don't know what you're talking about, I only use B+W filters myself. The Colored filters are for film shooters so ignore those and get the clear ones. Most of the time the glass is the same between the version but the coating is different. Coatings aren't there...

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
What I meant was that they come in different colours to according to the coating, for example I think the hoya blue label range are their basic filters, then the green label range, etc. Trouble is I think these frames are thicker than I would require.

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
Have no idea about the colour, they have HD series which their top one and the Pro and the normal one, like said the difference is mostly in the coatings. I couldn't find a slim on either from Hoya, B+W have them though with and without coating.

Several of the Hoya ones get top marks. See this comparison: http://www.lenstip.com/113.1-article-UV_filters_test.html

DA 16-45mm - which filter?
I don't normally use UV/skylight filters at all on digital. It's just another two surfaces to get dirty. The hood is all you need to protect the lens.

Pentax new 100mm weather resist Macro
It has, and was commonly believed to be a fake since it first appeared on a russian site. 49mm filter thread? Are they sure?

Pentax new 100mm weather resist Macro
49mm filter thread? Are they sure? It does seem hard to believe.. but looking at my SMC-A 100mm F4 macro, which does have a 49mm filter ring, the actual hole in the front isn't that big: So maybe they can achieve F2.8 by having more glass at the front, even with the same filter size.

Actually, the current D-FA 100mm Macro lens is only 49mm as well. The older F & FA models have 58mm filter threads.

Pentax new 100mm weather resist Macro
100mm/2.8 = 35.7mm Even my SMC F 135mm/2.8 has 49mm filter thread. So 100/2.8 should not be a problem with 49mm filter thread.

Tamron 28-105 f2.8
Sorry I wasn't being very clear, I didn't even think of Adaptall-2 versions. I'm specifically referring to an autofocus lens. With an 82mm filter thread, apparently :shock:

Bellows question
Bellows are certainly not as convenient to use as tubes, and the minimum distance they collapse down to is usually longer than the smallest tube. The bellows I have were bought for my LX (so probably +20 years ago) they are not automatic and the lens is mounted via its filter thread (reversed i...

DA 70 Limited
It is sold with both as standard. The hood screws onto the front of the lans and is a pull-out push-in affair. The lems cap pushes over the front of it. You will never need to take the hood off the lens unless you want to add a filter

Another ruddy lens
Shockingly good I hope? Nope, no front or rear caps, couple of small nicks in the front element, brassing of the aperture ring, scratches to the body, some deep scratches round the front where the filter screws in. I felt quite sorry for him when it first arrived as he charged me £7.50 postage an...

Non SMC lenses
Hello chaps, I'm expecting a Takumar 135mm lens to arrive any day now, and after reading some negative reviews after my winning bid, I'm a little concerned about the non-SMC issue. I was wondering if the absence of lens coatings can be improved by using a filter of some sort? UVA or B for example? ...
