01af Posted February 5, 2013 Share #41 Â Posted February 5, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here is a very good reason not to use filters on digital cameras unless absolutely needed ... Â Okay, once again: The particular issue there is not, repeat: NOT caused by a filter. You'd get the same issue with no filter on the lens as well.

lct Posted February 5, 2013 Share #42 Â Posted February 5, 2013 All ghost images i've got has been caused by filters so no need to call Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hepcat Posted February 5, 2013 Share #43 Â Posted February 5, 2013 The key is knowing when NOT to use a filter. They come off really easily and quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
algrove Posted February 5, 2013 Share #44 Â Posted February 5, 2013 Yes, I use them on all lenses. Leica UVa when I can get them or B+W MRC otherwise. My prints do not seem to suffer from using them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

rramesh Posted February 6, 2013 Share #47 Â Posted February 6, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) It may be true that without a filter you get the best from the lens. However, I always have a UV filter on. Better safe than sorry in case you knock the front of the lens. With a filter I never use the lens cap. Â The effect, with and without a UV filter is minimal at best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted February 7, 2013 Share #48 Â Posted February 7, 2013 In general I don't won't any glass on my lens, however I preordered 35 lux and started thinking of using one UV or clear glass. Can I put the a filter on 35 lux and use the hood at the same time? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 7, 2013 Share #49 Â Posted February 7, 2013 Yes no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mirekti Posted February 7, 2013 Share #50 Â Posted February 7, 2013 Yes no problem. Â Sounds good!! If I wanted to use ND filter on top of it would it cause vignetting or it is better to change between ND and UV/clear filters? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lct Posted February 7, 2013 Share #51 Â Posted February 7, 2013 Never tried this so far but two Leica filters won't fit with the hood on. The latter would become useless as a shade anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgk Posted February 8, 2013 Share #52 Â Posted February 8, 2013 It may be true that without a filter you get the best from the lens. ... this is incredibly easy to check (FWIW my checks have revealed imperceptible differences with a good clean UVa filter in place compared to no filter).
