FYI I have £60 and £100 lenses so a £10 filter may be about right!

I was interested to read on the comments section of an article titled 5 Kinds of Photography Equipment That Waste Your Money
link
One of which was cheap UV filters. Comments were to the effect that with them your pictures are not so sharp. I have always used fairly budget filters and i need to replace them and its made me think.
Question is what do you use, are they pretty much the same as expensive filters and are you just paying for the name? Do they adversely affect the image?
I only use them to protect the lens(although im having a lot of fun with CPL at the moment), but if they are affecting my image quality maybe i won't use them at all.

When you think its focussed half press the shutter then keep it pressed while fine adjusting the focus and you'll get it. P.s I only found this out by messing about with manual focus! It'll beep when in focus and you will also see red dots in the viewfinder (as you do with AF) to confirm what you've focussed on,

Hi Dave,
I also have the K-r and an old film slr with a split-ring focussing screen. It took a little while to get used to this one for manual focus but it is certainly possible, and i believe you also get a confirmation hexagon in the bottom right hand corner of the viewfinder to confirm the focus before depressing the shutter all the way to fire.
I would suggest giving yourself some time to get used to it before replacing the focussing screen
Good luck

Come on guys you can't damage a camera with the stuff that ive been using. If i thought that i would never have tried the hairdryer or fleecy hat. I do take care of my kit, still got my 1st ever digital camera and it still works fine!
