I did a few with/without tests when I first got my M8 filters, and whilst the filter may degrade the quality in certain oblique lighting situations (???) I never experienced it, but all the test shots looked much better to me with the filters than without. The difference was not subtle on sunlit grass, for example. cheers, Frank On 18 Mar, 2010, at 16:35, Bob Adler wrote: > Hi Peter, > There was a lot of discussion about this on the LUG awhile ago about > whether the UV/IR filter degraded image quality in situations where it was > not needed.
