RE UV Filters,advice sort
HI
I just bought 400mm prime L lens for bird photograhy,i have used
this lens without UV filter,the results a very good and sharp,the shop
forgot to send the Hoya Pro1 UV filter,they have sent it,and its arrived.
It cost $130,i am told its good quality one,
I am told there are two camps re filters some for and some not fussed on them.
I thought it would be good to help protect lens-being out in the bush like
i am.I have done some quick testing with it on,an i am finding results not as sharp,and also camera takes lomger to aquire target and focus,is this
my imagination?I have taken some test with on and off of a bird,so can post them into this thread.
So far,i feel not too keen on it,what are other peoples thoughts?
I think works better,with camera at high speed,in very bright sunlight,
when doing aircraft photography.The results that i posted of blackl-shuldered kite,and kingfisher in general pics,didnt have UV filter on and
i was very happy with them.
Hope to hear your views
