With the 1.5 multiplier, tele-converters aren't quite so attractive as they were on film bodies.

I suspect Harrow Technical would do it, providing they can get parts. You'll find a link above.

The Cokin polariser rotates within the holder, so you don't need to worry about the grad moving.

It's so that you can rotate a polarising filter.

Liam,

I like it a lot, but I think the frame interferes with the picture.

I saved it, cropped the frame, and added a plain grey border, and to me it looks better. However, this is totally subjective.

I'm not upset. Just bemused.

Isn't that exactly what I wrote? Or is there some subtle difference that I have failed to observe?

Taking pictures with a digital camera is really pretty much the same as taking slides using a film camera. He obviously doesn't need to be told too much about that, so in my view he is likely to benefit more from a book on how to edit his pictures on computer.

Real World Camera Raw by Bruce Fraser is the bible of digital editors.

It is based on an expensive computer program called Photoshop CS2, but most of it applies to cheaper versions (eg Photoshop Elements), and, indeed, to other programs.

If your husband is a bit of a novice when it comes to computers and digital editing, this might be a better bet (it's more serious than the title suggests):

I rather doubt that the Hoya merger is going to have any effect on SMC.
