How do you know whether its a good filter or not? can teach me how to compare?

Do you know how does flare look like? Cheap single coated ones will introduce flare to your picture which is why if you're going for those cheap ones, might as well don't use one if you're concen of image quality.

I know ... So filter will ruin the IQ in terms of flare appearance right?

Definitely will spoil your pictures lol. Especially for those who demand nice pictures, don't you demand for nice pictures?

Flare, edge darkening, loss of light yada yada. So basically, the glass does matter .

oic noted. so quality of uv filter will determine the "cun-ness" of a photo.
hmmm... i think i will go for hoya hd uv filter.
1 more thing, does CPL filter crucial?
can multiple filter be mounted to a lens? lets say configuration of
lens > lens protector > uv filter > cpl filter ??

The more glass you add to your lens, the more image quality reduction you'll see. Don't use so many lor.

yes, can stack, but not all filters can la. need to get the stackable kind

btw y lens protector > uv filter summore... the uv filter is lens protector already also, no point stacking a UV filter since we only use it for protection. if u use CPL, then the CPL will do double duty... polarizing while also protecting the lens...so no need UV filter already

filter stacking is for CPL + ND filters etc

Do you think Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 for RM380 is a good offer? still got 4 month warranty left..

Get a new 1.

Just notice the price for new 1 is RM420 = =... i tot its 5xx...

Not at all, I get a new 1 with such price.

Unless he provide you 1 Hoya HD UV filter la

It include lens and Original box, lens, cap hood & Kenko 52mm UV filter

Seek for others, if you want 2nd hand with unfilled warranty, usually can get around RM320, with UV filter of course.
Or else get a new 1, Sunway can get RM370 (with my friend's help), u try nego 99.

Ya.. i asked at excel penang.. 50mm 1.8 RM370 and hike penang Rm380... I still din nego yet..

my question not really answered?.lol.

Unfilled warranty any pros and con? I guess i wont buy it already... thanks for the advice..

Don't be reviled by the unfilled warranty card crap. You'll be playing with luck since every product has a serial no which records a timeline. It shouldn't run off too much from the date a dealer gets the product.

spam 1 pic with new lens~

Wow wonderful round bokeh! Got swirls inside the bokeh somemore XD
