hey thanks again for the second welcome.. hehe!
ZerocoolAstra - hi there, thanks for your insight in regards to the matter. really appreciate it. now to try it 1st hand.
btw i think i didn't really made myself clear abt the filters. my question were more to the lens part. anyway i've read a bit abt them and to my limited knowledge, a short trip to the cam menu(white balance) can replicate the coloured filter effects. am i right?
so does post processing the files. luckily i've upgraded my pc recently.
anyway thanks again csers...
