Will I look funny?

[porkypig]

Hi all,

if I set up my D90+77mmCPL+50mm 1.8+step down ring 77-52

will I look funny ar ?
Cos the front of the cam will look strangly big with a small 50mm.

Appriciate your kind advice.

yah, u'll look funny, i'm laughing already

ha ha ha ha



aiyah, who gives a dam as long as ur pics dnt look funny (unless intentional lah)

May not be good, why dont u buy 52mm CPL instead.

 

[catchlights]

why care about how you and your camera look instead of how the photos will turn out?

 

[DonnyDan]

Ya you will look funny with it. but the cost saving will be huge if you get a pro lens later on. It doesnt matter as long your photo look good.

heck care la if can save $
My Kenko Pro1Digital costed me $100.
It is not rational to waste another few hundred bucks to get a few more CPLs.
I cannot imagine if I'm using B&W.

But seriously, I would still suggest that you get another 52mm CPL if you confirm that these are the only 2 sizes that you gonna use for long term and you are using a cheap CPL like <$50. At least then, you wont look funny, or have the feeling that people are laughing at you.

I don't think you look funny but you sound funny.
It should be a step-up ring, not step-down.

Step up from 52mm to 77mm because the 50mm f1.8 is 52mm thread size but your CPL is 77mm.

Anyway, I think it don't look funny. I got all my filter as 77mm, so stepping up is no issue.

tell you one trick... the 77mm can be squeeze into the Nikon HR-2 rubber lens hood... and also, it would slip into the Hoya 52mm generic hood... but handle with care, you could easily drop the CPL from the lens hood... i use it like that to save the trouble taking down hood, attach step up ring and CPL then use... i only use the CPL with step up ring from 72mm lens...

it's make sense to save money to buy only 1 CPL since you won't use it all the time... so hope this helps...

Is there a direct 52-77mm step-up ring? I was visualising 52-58 + 58-62 + 62-67 + 67-72 + 73-77mm step up rings stacked in front of the 50mm lens. It will look a little funny; but, still, gets the job done.

Comparatively, a decent 52mm CPL is not too expensive, as it's small. Direct fit onto many prime lenses like 24mm, 28mm, 35mm and 50mm.

I keep a 52mm and a 77mm CPL.

I think will get vignetting.

 

[archlover]

it works without vignetting... i used to do like that also...
my friend said my lens looks like frilled-neck lizard...

thats good.
but even when shooting at 18mm also wont cause vignetting meh?

 

[huggable]

It's a 50mm prime lens, so can't zoom. Generally stepping up should not cause vignetting. Stepping down could.

thats good.
but even when shooting at 18mm also wont cause vignetting meh?

 

[RezzShaz]

look funny - yes....
be bothered about it - no....

as long as ur objective to save money and practicality when u use pro-lens later
and ur picture is good....why not, go for it

 

[bbxxin]

Sometimes I also do that with my 67mm CPL on my 50mm F1.4. It's a cheap solution instead of buying another 52mm CPL, but the problem is when i use this way, i need to have another 67mm lens cap.;p

Yes very funny,

 

[porkypig]

thanks guys !
really appriciate your comments.

ya hor... i should care how my photo turns out... :thumbsup:
assured.


yep.. its for saving $$ of cos....

but one small kan-cheong issue...

the ring gets stuck to the CPL very often...
damn panic...
eg: wanna change filter back to UV,

(UV i will get the lens size for each lens, anyway, i only have 18-105 and 50mm at the moment)

that reminds me,
wat hood can i put on.... since the front of the 50mm lens is 52mm
but the 77mm CPL will get in the way
