Ermm CPL will not lower the IQ of your images, especially if they are well made. They are used to polarize light, so it removes reflection from water or reflective surface, and a lot of photographers use it to get a "blue-er" sky

UV filters for me reduces the IQ therefore, I do not recommend any UV filters

RM790 at J-One and YL. RM800 inclusive of a stofen at Digital Mania.

As for the 35mm, while you may achieve 52.5mm on a 35mm, it will still be the perspective of a 35mm, which is sort of a wide angle. So you still have to consider distortion and all that jazz..

hahah that is right. it is VERY loud. I don't need to announce to the world that I am there taking a photo.

CS3 can process D300, D90, D700 NEF files, because I've been doing that

But I did download the ACR beta while it was available for the CS3. They might have made it available only to CS4 since it went full release though.

My version of ACR still pops up a message to tell me that the beta period is over.

I was supposed to be part of the convoy but my May and June weekends kena tarpau already

Using the Phottix, no problem for me. Well, haven't really tested it extensively.
