Well I'm going to be shooting sports outdoors. My question, is the UV filter usefull or not. I read somewhere that a filter should never be used due to more glare from the extra glass on the end of the lense. Any input?:)Just be sure not to lick the lens a lot without the UV filter on.
... what? :)For outdoor sports at lower altitudes, yeah, take it off. It will be a potential problem.Depends on the sports. I've had sand kicked into the lens before covering volleyball, got covered in mud at a football game once (none on the camera). Frankly even if the filter did cause a problem I'd still use it.
By the way, there's various grades of filters. Get a nice multicoated one and leave it on the lens. The cheap ones are the ones that give grown men nightmares. I can recommend Hoya SHMC for nice price / performance. Do NOT get a cheaper Hoya filter.I use UV filter to protect lens. I am willing to sacrifice a bit of IQ for this protection - I've never seen a difference but then I do not sell my photo so am not too picky. Also I always use B&W's top of the line which probably help reduce flares and whatever else.
When you say "outdoor sports" - you are not thinking paintball are you? Regardless of IQ, I will always use filter for that.Why you don't link to your tutorial?
Don't be shy man. :DI have one on every lens that I have. I is s good lens protector and it doesnt effect the image.Yup! Good tutorial! It's worthy of repeated linkings! ;) Bifurcator is right, read this: http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100830#If you have any other info about this subject , Please add it free.# |
