Re: I Did the filter/no filter test
dj_mocok:
Thanks for doing that. It would be interesting to do a couple sets of filter on/off shots, post them without identifying which is which, and see how many of us can distinguish between them in a poll. It would also be interesting to introduce two levels of filter quality into the mix.
If you ever get unlazy again ...... Or if I ever get unlazy, period.
I think the main danger of leaving a UV filter on is in a high glare situation ... especially when a lens hood is absolutely necessary to shield the lens. The filter effectively lengthens the lens by 3/16" or so, which can push the glass out beyond the hood's shaded area making the lens hood un-effective.
