[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I used the kind advice from fellow Summitar users here, and picked up a yellow filter and a haze filter from Sandy Ritz (if he had about 8 Summitars, I figured he'd have a bunch of filters for them). Thanks to all of you who responded with advice. Now to go out and put it through its paces.
