By the way, I like the Hoya HMC filters when I use a filter. They make a
much better filter than Tiffen. I try not to use the Tiffens I have unless
necessary. The Hoyas are a Best Bang for Buck filter to me. When I get a
real job I can start using BW's. ;)

One thing I've liked about the RTF on my PZ-1p is that I've been able to use it on
family snaps without breaking out the AF500FTZ. Makes for a smaller package, and turns
