The UV filter was originally intended to cut through haze. Haze is caused by the scattering of blue light by water droplets in the atmosphere. This reduces distance clarity before any light gets to the lens.

The UV filter removes the affected light and allows us to see better into the distance.

Filters are only really useful now for these sort of applications, where the effect we want to remove happens before the light reaches the lens. A polariser is another example.

Very often the card details and delivery address have to be the same. It's to prevent fraud.

What's the point in trying to rig a poll? All this means is that online polls are totally useless and only indicate how well those with an agenda have managed to skew the results.

I don't see what satisfaction that brings to anyone.

An interesting look back at 2013.

Title corrected.

Tardy winner I'm afraid, I'll be chasing later.

I think it's difficult to visualise what you are doing, but try making sure the workplace you are using is set to Essentials and then to make double sure do the reset to default settings, go Window>Workspace>Reset Essentials.

If you find images are in the wrong place, use their top bar to drag them back up into their proper taskbar. That's a tricky one to describe, but if you drag them off that bar instead to clicking and opening them they will float free.

Hope that helps, but if you're really stuck, after Christmas you can phone me and I'll talk you through it step by step over the phone.

I would look at the reviews, but they will do what they should do, that is, provide superb quality images. The optics are first rate, the cost savings come from plastic mounts, no QuickShift and no supplied lens hood.

The MX-1 produces lovely images and I've even used them as A3 competition prints. Nobody noticed any difference in quality at that level.

It's just compact enough for a jacket pocket and very versatile. The buttons are just the same quality as any of the DSLR range.

The MX-1 is not a substitute for a DSLR, it's the camera you'll have with you everywhere, even places where a DSLR kit would be unlikely to be taken.
