hmm.... looks like the 1/3 light loss is affecting the A33 more than what was first imagined.....

i guess that design has its own flaw

guys, wanna ask KEEP UV Filter 55mm diametre for RM20/. worth?

2nd hand?

should be ok.. first hand about rm40...

for penang, try the penang road area, the usual recommendation like CnS, Megastarm Hike, etc are all along there

ya, second hand. my 50mm f1.4 was all the while unprotected, poor thing. haha... now can get 1 for it ad...

y dun wan get hoya?

cheap cheap filter will tend to screw up the IQ at times.

eddybeh - kenko is also not bad..

thx jerrylyh. wats the difference between pro1d cpl and cpl? pro1d have nd filter effect too?

Well, you can't have your cake and eat it too, I guess. Something has got to give somehow. It's a know fact that when we put another piece of glass in front of the sensor, it's going to degrade the IQ. The question is by how much and what can be done to make the degradation less apparent.

That's why I am still waiting for future models that may have a way of incorporating the best of both world. It's a start and it's exciting of course but can it become a revolution or will it become just a fad? Will the 'transparent' mirror (for the want of being technically correct both in language and scientific terms) fade away from still cameras while the mirrorless becomes mainstream? Will it ultimately be implemented in video cams rather than still cams? Only time will tell.

porkchop : Congrats! Late to the party but hey, better late than never right?

eddybeh : I would rather go without the cheap filter. I have never put any filters on my 50mm lenses.

I concur. If you can't afford a good filter, skip those cheapos till you can afford a good one.

Anyone bought NEX 5D recently? can advise the price and the deals that you get? Thanks!

don use any cheap filter for your 1.4 lens, you will only get flare but nothing else.

i use cheap filter for my 50 F14... no issue, flare is not biggy.

but at night, i take it out, light sources will easily duplicate in filter.

a filter is always good for protection. the iq lost also merely 1% which 99% of us here resize the pic and lost all 50% information.. 1% is nothing.

summore 70% of us here has dirty lens (dust can appear at the rear, not necessary in front) and dust pop out in photo, that little dust affect more then 1%, but it didnt bother any much of us here.
