Filters are a great subject. Does anyone think that the LUG is better served by talking about "Japs stole designs", scotch, Belgian beer, a giant argument about posting full serial numbers, arguing about HCB and posed pictures, Atomic Force Microscopy, Retina cameras, HCJB & QSL cards, Starting Cranks, and the list goes on... ad nauseam! Filters, lenses, film, bodies, developers, formulae, darkroom, outings, results, photographic problems, solutions, tests, etc... seem like really legitimate topics for the Leica Users Group. I use a lot of useful filters. Polarizers, KR3 warming, ND, ND grad, color grads, whatever is required to make the image on film, look the way I want it to look. Filters are a great way to control the light before it hits the film. They must, however, be used intelligently. There are certain situations that render filters harmful to the image. One needs to learn these situations in order to avoid problems. It is rare that I use my R camera without one of the above listed filters. I use only a polarizer on my M camera, and perhaps on only 5% of the M photographs. :-) Jim At 03:05 PM 1/12/99 -0500, you wrote: >Is it Politically Incorrect to talk about filters on the LUG? > >I'm just wonderin, >Keven Vaughan
