24-105L IS, is an excellent all around zoom, very versatile! At first I was not very keen on an f4 zoom (probably because I have a good selection of primes) but over time I have grown to really like it and find it covers a multitude of scenarios for me.

Except for when NDs or polarizers apply lenses don't need filters. Nor do cameras. Save your money.

I think the Henry's representative is talking about how the digital sensor is not sensitive to UV as film is. UV can cause haze effect on film which can degrade your image. I don't think UV is an issue with digital.

I think this is why once DSLR hit the market you start seeing more and more "protective" or "clear" filters while during the film days most ppl used UV filters for both protection and to prevent that haze.

And if you want filters, you can get higher quality filters at way better prices at http://maxsaver.net/ (formerly hvstar).

Uhhh a UV filter in camera? What now? Lenses need filters. Never heard of a camera filter before.

UV filters are a preference thing. Some swear by it (as it's extra protection) but others not so much (saying it decreases sharpness). Some (older ie Nikon Ai-S) lenses actually suffer from flares by having a UV filter. Up to you.

Don't waste your time with a clear filter though. A good HOYA HMC UV filter will do the trick. Or if you have a bigger budget, B+W is the other good brand. What lens is this for? If it's just a kit lens or consumer lens, just go for a cheaper UV filter since it's nothing to brag about from the start. An expensive filter on a cheap lens does nothing for you.

Hello All,

I went to Henry's to get a filter for my lens, the guy at the counter replied that Nikon D3000 camera doesn't need any UV filter as it already has a filter for that in the camera. Instead he recommended protective filter (clear filter) just to avoid anything happen to the lens glass.
Is this true? Does this mean I will never need any UV filter?

Thanks for any input you may have

Martin

It would be cool if you could shift the camera. and stitch those images together... but it seems this adapter dosent do that.

could be, but have you checked your settings in DPP (is everything zeroed under sharpening/noise reduction etc) - DPP takes into account your in-camera settings even for raw files. I only noticed a little mismatch in brightness of highlight areas and gradation, but I prefer more punch, thus like LR3 processing more

Also see the colour space in DPP settings, I think it's default is to use sRGB
LR is natively ProPhoto

Did you end up getting the Tamrac Evolution?

I don't like either the Tamrac or Kata bags... neither of them have a bottle holder... which is very useful for hikes/trips.

I have the Lowepro flipside 400. It's quite good if you don't mind that that you can't access your camera quite as quickly. Safer for gear though.

There is also the fastpack 250 and primus aw if you need quicker access.

I have an FE that isn't working too. But my problem is shutter related. You might need to take it to a repair shop - such as Toronto Camera Service on Jefferson Av.

I think the difference is that the 40D is a mature enough camera that Adobe has had enough time to work on the RAW interpreter to match the output to DPP.

However, the 7D is a new enough camera that I think they may not have ironed out the bugs yet???

But then again, it's almost a year since the launch of the 7D, so ACR should be better... I'm using Camera RAW 6.1, so, I am now wondering if I am missing out something trivial?

Not always. There are a few people using the Tokina 11-16 on 5Ds to an interesting, but vignetted, effect. There may be other examples of EF-S on EF mounts but that's the only one I'm sure of. But yeah, in general it's not something one should plan in doing.

Unfortunately, all L series lenses are for full frame. If you want a pro quality lens you just have to calculate crop for your APS-C or APS-H sensor. Its not that bad. Its impossible to use a cropped lens on a FF body.

Plus, if you factor in that virtually all lenses are sharper near the center... cropping isn't such a bad thing

That is a function of the camera. Not the lens in this respect. The lens is full frame ready. If you put it on a crop body you get crop. No matter what. But if you upgrade your camera to a 5d (for example) some time in the future no issues with this lens.

I would buy this lens.
