Hi Nikoners, I have these experiences: 1. I have some pictures taken with an FE body and AF-D 80-200/f2.8 lens and Series E 75-150/f3.5 lens that are hazy because of the strong flare hit the film. I didn't see the flare when I saw through the view finder while I shot those pictures. But, they appear in the films and ruin the pictures. Is this normal? I mean, we cannot actually see the flare until it appears in the film? 2. I have a picture taken with FE body and AF 28-85/3.5-4.5 lens. It should be a flower with a dark blue sky as the backgoud. But, it didn't happen like what I imagine. The picture come with a light blue sky and it is uninterresting anymore. I did'nt use a polarizer that time but I'm sure that I saw that dark blue sky through the finder. Where that dark color goes? I almost come to this conclusion: Since what I see through the finder is actually a reflection of the image that come from the lens and should directly strike the film. And that reflection is actually a few times reflections, to the mirror and through the prism. So, the flare is unseenable? a light direction is changed or even some light removed due to the polarizing effect of that reflections? Am I right conclude that way? Is this also happen with other bodies? Regards, -- David A. Winarso "The main difference between F5 and FM2 is the way their lenses focused. F5 uses motor that eat batteries.
