Hi! Nikoners,
Firstly, thanks to Andrew for this wonderful list.
Secondly, kudos to Alexander for moving us into the 'Next Generation'
Now, the main subject of the post:
I was shooting some landscapes with my N70 + 35-80 4-5.6 AF-D setup a while ago
and saw that the whole picture exposed perfectly, but the skies got washed out.
The lens already had a 1A Quantaray filter on it.
After some thought, I went and got a Marumi UV filter, and used it instead of
the 1A. The skies are still washed out. I also took some shots with the UV
filter stacked on top of the 1A. Still, the skies are not as good as I want
them.
So,
# Which is better? 1A or UV?
# Can they be stacked?
# Is a polarizer the only answer?
# Does the AF and metering system of N70 work well only with a circular
polarizer?
# I don't see filters made by Nikon on their websites or at B&H. Does Nikon
recommend any filters?
# Is the lens I use not good enough to produce super blue skies?
# Is it more difficult to get blue skies near the equator than away from it (due
to the angle of sunrays etc) ?
[ I know, this last one seems farfetched to myself, but after the arcane
information that keeps popping up on this list of sages, you never know :) ]
Thanks for your help,
Regards,
Amar.
... hoping that there is sufficient Nikon content in this post.
