As I was saying , no point investing so much on a good filter as most better lens you might buy next time wont be of 55mm diameters. So dont need use filters for kitlens la. (:

or use newspaper to clean

Ur spectacle cloth is what kinda material? Is nylon liddat, or like micro fiber/velvet kinda texture??

U hv a tripod with you? night shot normally slow shutter but use a tripod or increase your iso.

When taking landscapes, it's advisable to use the 'sweet spot' of whatever lens you are using. Typically the 'sweet spot' is around F8 to F11 after which the details in the pic will suffer from what is called 'diffraction' of the lens, smudging the details in the pic.

I usually use F8 and I find that it's DOF is enough for APS-C sensors.
My A100 batteries can usually last about 900 shots.

i get about 500 - 800 shots on A350... for a 4-5 hours shoot...
if use live view often, then the shoots decreased.. to about 500..

on 2 batteries (grip).. went up to 1200+ shots RAW for a 10 hours+ shoot..

don't tell me a senior pro like you don't know about this
