[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have encountered two problems: the 77mm filter is just too big. I'm using a 35mm external viewfinder to approximate the field of view of my 24 on the M8. I do see ghost reflections when shooting into a bright sun. I'll post an example when I get a chance--right now the gallery is being balky and not letting me upload the example. I'm sure that part of the problem with ghost reflections is that the 77mm filter can't be used with the shade for the 24mm ASPH!
