Jamie Roberts Posted September 30, 2006 Share #21 Posted September 30, 2006 Advertisement (gone after registration) Filters are great for effects. And the standard let's throw a UV filter to protect the lens stuff is fine--if you take the UV filter off when you shoot (I do). Lens ghosting is for real, even with very good (BW / Leica) filters. The faster your lens, the contrastier your light source, the more this happens. Period. IMO you're nuts to put a UV filter in front of a Summilux. YMMV--but image defects from filters is very noticeable if the light is right, and defeats the purpose of a lot of wonderful, and expensive, glass.

Advertisement Posted September 30, 2006 Posted September 30, 2006 Hi Jamie Roberts, Take a look here Filters seem detrimental to lens/film result. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
sfage Posted September 30, 2006 Share #22 Posted September 30, 2006 Wouldn't software filters be better ? Essentially, you're shooting digital anyway. Why don't we just choose the yellow filter setting in PS? I wonder if it would be better to rely on a digital filter than another piece of glass?

tobey bilek Posted September 30, 2006 Share #23 Posted September 30, 2006 Set the meter to 800 and meter right thru the IR filter. Works every time. I have not done IR bracketing in years. I use Kodak HIE. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
batmobile Posted October 4, 2006 Share #24 Posted October 4, 2006 Use B&W MRC filters. They are the dog's swingers. Just try looking thru one compared even to a Hoya HMC filter to see the very clear increase in contrast. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
