Wow, you sure do have (or had) a lot of equipment! This upcoming shoot must be big to sacrifice all this good stuff. I especially like your old Pentax equipment. I have an SP1000. I love the SMC 135mm f3.5. Nice and sharp. It works well on the Rebel too.

Check out cokin filters. not to expensive, especially since one filter will fit all your lenses and cameras.
No, somethings cannot be done in PS - polarizer filter is one that i have not heard of a way to duplicate. ND grad filters are easier to use when you take the pic than it is to take two pics and blend them in PS. Star filters are another one that is hard to duplicate in PS. i think there are plugins for that, but eitehr way you spend $$.

Not really that much of a sacrifice beyond the sentimental value. I can't see well enough anymore close up to focus accurately. I love these cameras, especially the K1000, which has been half way around the world with me on several occasions, but I have to move forward. And yes this is a very important shoot for me - rookery thing with exclusive access.

| Would any of those work on the d70 kit lens or the sigma 75-300 mm dl? |

Check your attatchment size.. You probably need a 67mm, or a 72mm filter. THey offer many choices in all sized. Try your local camera store
joe
after checking my 70-300 non-dl... it's 62mm.

all lenses are marked as to what size filters they take - along with hte 28-80 F1.8 there will be another number and a funky symbol, the last number is hte filter size it takes.
Also, lenojr, while ou can rplicate some filter effets in PS, NONE of them are legal here for basic editing challenges and many are not legeal for advanced challenges, while anything a camera filter does is legal.

If you are shooting in digital you can you the photoshop filters, with the same effect (actually better in some ways). The warming filter, 81 is the same as the mount on camera filter 81a the standard filter I would say all pros have (and the one I would recommend if you buy one) You can also achieve this 'warm' feeling with shooting your white balance on 'cloudy setting'. The advantage of course in doing it in PS is that you can try several filters to match the best results. Of course too, if you do it in PS it does not cost any more.

Actual glass filter have many advantages. U/V and Skylight filters cut back on ultraviolet rays which in turn help bring out details in the clouds and sky that would otherwise be lost. Polarizers cut back glare to let the camera see through glass and water more clearly. A graduated filter can cut back on hours of editing time behind the computer screen. Plus, Photoshop does little to protect your lens from dirt and scratches.

I agree about the UV filters for protecting glass. you do however lose stops when you add a polarizer for example. Sometimes an on camera filter can be the wrong one and it is equally as many hours at PS, to get rid of the 'wrong' coloring.
I guess the key is in either case knowing what you are doing and which situations are right for on/off camera version. |
