Well, I can't post the pictures, but working as a director in TV with a
cameraman there have been a number of occasions where a filter in front of
the lens has degraded the image to the point where I've asked for it to be
taken off. Always when shooting contre-jour.
Most TV and film cameramen shoot without a filter. Generally they only use
filters for ND or colour filtration, possibly grad. Anyway, the point is,
looking at the monitor, I've seen it many times, and for that reason I shoot
without filters in front of my glass.
Anyway, this brings me to my main point. The Elmarit 28 I just bought seems
to have a filter built in and I can't work out how to get the f***ing thing
off. Can someone tell me??
Ta.
