Filter: low-end B+H or Hoya HMC?

Hi, I want to buy a UV filter for my DA zooms. There are 2 options that cost more or less the same (around 20 EUR). A 'normal B+H (without extra coating) and a Hoya multicoated (called HMC or something similar). The 'normal' Hoya costs 10 EUR and it still says that is coated. I have used it in

I exchanged my A70-210 + 20EUR for a K85 1.8 in a store. My best deal so far. Sometimes it is not easy to focus it when shooting wide open (very narrow DoF) but when you manage it, it is one of the sharpests lens i have. Regards, Jaume - Mensaje original De: Jens Bladt <[EMAIL PROTECTE

Re: Still shrinking pixel pitch on dark side

2006-11-27 Thread Jaume Lahuerta
Same here. Also it seems that the current APS size sensors are reaching its pixel count limits, aren't they? But Pentax is building a complete lens line around this crop factor...so if you want more than 10-12mpix with Pentax you'll have to goto digital medium format, at least for a few years.
