Hi! Thanks for the replies friends :) At least I know now that I don't need additional filters over CIR-POLs..... (imagine 2 x B+W filters broken in a single drop.... best to cut losses...:sweat: )

and for some reason, i cant vote.. maybe the CS forum too smart liao, figured tat i owe lots of money :bsmilie: :bsmilie: :bsmilie:

thread title and poll is different question leh. How much should a early to mid-thirties have in his/her bank? vs. Re: How much money you have saved? which is the right question TS is asking?

i'm not sure how reflection and flaring affects the filters, as i was told that the filters are actually 'something' coated thus reducing (?) flares and reflection? i like to know what is the purpose of the lens hood.... it seems more like a 'look cool' add on accessory =X :dunno:

Hi! Thanks for the reply! so am i right to say, regardless of whatever brand of filters you use (in this case, all B+W filters), vignetting -will- occur at widest aperture if its 2 or more filters connected? sorry... i guess i describe it as purple (on the filter box) since it looks purple...

Hihi! Thanks for the reply! You are right, I tried last night and even though it's 2 MCR B+W filters, there -is- reflected articles.... so much for trying to be lazy i guess. :P i guess that vignetting effect is only applicable to the 1mm-20mm lens range? It should be ok if i used these...

both are the same price :P

from what i gather, there's the UV-Haze and UV-something... then Skylight is also UV blocking, but it does do something to the lighting/colour due to the brownish pink tint.... but out of curiousity, does this filter function well in night shots?

hi bernard, thanks for the heads up. :) i did go to their website and got confused :bsmilie: in anycase, I went back to the shop to change the filter.... as I just wanted a pure UV filter and not have something to change the photo's colour properities... (there's always photoshop i guess. ;) )

My impression is that there is only 1 type of B+W UV filter, so I guess I took it for granted that it is the right one... :( just to confirm is that for 58mm B+W UV filter, is the skylight the right model or the 010 ?

What is the difference between the 010 UV and the Skylight KR 1,5? I asked at a shop for a UV filter and was given the Skylight filter, is it the right one?

Hi all! Sorry that I'm quite new to this .. I have a 58mm B+W MRC Cir-Pol and a B+W MRC UV mounted on my 18-55mm kit lens. May I know if this set up does not affect the image quality or is it redundant to have the UV filter on? not sure if i'm doing it wrong, but it seems that i am...

Noobie qn .... just out of curiousity, is there a 'proper' way of storing lenses in the dry cabinet? is it vertically filter facing down or up? or horizontally?

shows that you are out of touch too... thats a walkover ward. :bsmilie: :sweatsm:

no... but 18 yr olds nowadays prefer to learn the ways of the world by offending half of the population of a certain country.
