I got my camera (d40) a couple of years ago and and since day 1 i have this cheap filter on (P150) for protection from scratches, and whenever i shoot before something inside tells me na hindi Sharp(bitin), then recently when i wanted to try Prodigi's (kudos to this very kind, helpful man) Destoy it youself macro kit. i used this filter (worth destroying

).. so then wala na akong filter and i noticed mas sharper na mga shots ko....

what is really the purpose of filter?
does filter really affect the quality / sharpness of your picture?

thanks

hmm... skylight filter or UV yan no? may effect din yan sa light na pumapasok sa lens mo. really good UV filters transmit 95% of the light, taking out UV rays. lahat ng lens ko may MIJ Hoya UV filter.

marami ding klase ng filter at iba iba ang effect.

gamit ko dito polariser, pansin mong mas bluer ang beach at skies

eto naman warming filter

diffuser

center spot

Yes, it affects the sharpness. Nasaksihan mo naman na nung nawala yung filter mo naging mas sharp yung kuha mo diba?

Get Hoya or B+W filters.
Have a great day! Happy shooting:wink:

guyz, alam nyo ba ang price difference ng Hoya UV Filter sa Sunpak UV filter? mas ok ba talaga ang quality ng Hoya kesa sa Sunpak?

Sa UV filter parang ang sunpack is around 400 pesos, ang hoya nasa 1K+ ata.

I used cokin filter set here (ND8 / Gradual Tobacco). Filters defines the mood of your pictures. Parang effects ng guitar yan and mga cymbal extensions sa drums.

ey guys regarding sa filter, pano ba malalaman yung size na tama dun sa lens?

bumili ako kanina ng uv filter para sa kit lens ng d40, akala ko 55mm filter ang kailangan ko kasi 18-55 yung kit lens. mali pala, dapat yung 52mm na filter ang binili ko.

its a good thing, i only bought a uv filter coz i was supposed to buy a set

anyone interested in buying this off from me? 300 lang hehehe masyadong malayo yung store dito sa hotel para majustify na isoli ko pa. talo sa gas

sorry masyado sa OT. beginner lang sa photography gear

MEGaKewl · « **Reply #12 on:** June 14, 2008, 11:27:37 AM »

Peeves24 if im not mistaken ang kit lens ng 18-55 na D40 is 58mm. Meron yan nakalagay sa harap mismo ng lens. Yun sakin kasi naka lagay sa harap nung lens dun sa may rim ng lens you will see it.

jamesroy · « **Reply #13 on:** June 14, 2008, 07:54:51 PM »

52mm po ang kitlens ng D40.. nakabili na ako ng sunpak UV haze filter. napansin ko nabawasan nga ang sharpness ng mga kuha ko compare sa walang filter.

randymarsh · « **Reply #14 on:** June 14, 2008, 08:47:37 PM »

Nababawasan ang sharpness? Hindi dapat ganyan ang effect niya. UV filters should give your photos better contrast, kaya I only use Hoya filters. See..

UV filter comparison. nothing against generic filters. again, mas ok ang may filter to protect the lens than no protection at all.

I found this generic filter in my bag. I bought a lens in manila with this filter to protect it.

this shot was taken with the generic filter. it was the best shot out of five. pansin ko na medyo hindi nga nagfofocus ng maayos yun camera ko.

taken with a hoya UV filter. one shot lang at mas sharp siya kesa sa nasa itaas.

ano difference ng dalawa? glare. see...

check nyo yung reflection ng light bulb on the generic filter

this is one naman on the hoya filter

test shot with a generic filter - screwed my d300's AF. this is the best shot out of 5

hoya filter - one shot, sharp and nice.

reason bakit mas soft ang generic filter? glare.

reflection of a light bulb on the generic filter

same shot on the hoya uv filter - less reflection, less glare

Puwede ka na maging endorser ng Hoya pre

Nice test pics. Ano nga pala yung generic mong filter? Yung mga Sunpak kasi ang pangit e. laging nagiging soft focus.

hehe. nabili ko yung sa jt photo for 300 pesos. not sure kung anong name.
