Re: Using Polarizing Filter With Skylight Filter

First off - shut up bitch

LOL! You're worried about protecting a cheap used lens?

Since when is a $600-$1200 lens cheap - do I need to do the math for
you - $300-600 used equates to $600-1200 new - stop talking unless you
know what you're talking about.

Are you
buying them to take pics with or to resell? The point is that it is
quite unlikely that your lens will be damaged if you don't use a filter
on it. So why waste more $$$ on a filter

You're a friggin idiot - a $10-20 filter is nothing

that does nothing except sit
on the lens, degrades the image,

Oh please - degrades the image - cut me a break

and offers some perceived degree of
protection against something, presumably flying rocks or sand?


Let me guess -you're not married are you - fat and ugly woman?


I have nothing against the use of filters like Circular Polarizers or
graduated ND filters

ND filters - they're for posers - I don't use an ND to create a fake
sky - I get what I want the 1st time or revisit later.

since those actually accomplish something, unlike
most skylight or UV filters that are just another piece of glass in
front of the lens.

Okay dummy - UV filters are used creatively with telephotos when there
is a fair amount of haze - you have never seen the shot of
hills/mountains where the use of the telephoto and the atmosphereic
haze creates a strange blending of images and colors - go back to class
newbie!

I don't have much use for color filters since those
effects can be created in Photoshop. In fact, the latest version of PS
has a nice set of Photo Filters that do just that.

Oh - now I understand - you're one of the posers who isn't talented
enough to get the shot out in the field - you have to cheat using a
computer - stop chiming in - it's obvious you're an amateur
