Whichever you don't think you'll need anymore. As you well know after
all the UV filter discussions, UV filters aren't fussy. However,
before you bring your lurid shorts near a -real- lens, bleach the
hell out of them. Wouldn't want your images to be henceforth overlaid
with a tartan or paisley patter.
OTOH, might be just the thing for Eric the Red photos.
On a more normal (or rather, photographic) topic, the sun came out a
bit and mostly the overcast was only light, instead of the visual
concrete we've had for the past week. A couple of days ago, at 2pm I
took a picture out in the open, under our 'sky', and the exposure was
1/30sec at f/1.4 with 400ISO film. It's enough to make you want to
carry a flashlight (hand torch) for supplemental lighting!
Fortunately, in the past while most of my paid shooting has been
indoors, where it isn't so dark.
