FILTER SHARPNESS >I hate to do this, but I must point out that motion picture images are >no where near as critical, in terms of sharpness, as still pictures. >Why? Since the image is moving, you could never see the ultimate >sharpness. I agree. I have had still images chosen for use in vidoes, and I was initially ashamed of the images as they were unsharp from focus and a long exposure. When put into NTSC format the photos amazingly popped out and looked better than they ever had been. >In fact, I recently ran into a web site where a guy had gone out and >bought filters from all the major brands (Nikon, B&W, Heliopan, >Tiffen, Hoya, etc.), as well as some no-name brands. Can you post the site so we can go see it for ourselves? I have found Heliopan to be best (for me) and Nion second, B+W has too much of a cast over the image for my taste. ------------------------------- CANON CRONIES > This is a nikon specific site, wish you would keep your canon propaganda >off here. Canon owners are like religious zealots! "Don't test the waters of any other god, you may discover something wrong with yours!" I have been to camera shows with my F5 and the C folks say i ought to trade it is for am EOS-1, etc. I told them I used to have an A2 (true) and they think I traded my soul to the devil. >I did play with the EOS 3 (What on earth does eos mean >anyway) for 30 minutes at the local camera store, and all I could do was >laugh. The EOS is cute, but I need metal. That's the end of that! Oh, know what EOS means? canon owners hate this...EOS is a Greek God who lives in mount OLYMPUS. How dare Canan use Olympus as a foundation for its camera line! ROFL! Robert in Redlands
