Okay clever dudes, here's one for you... and I thought the answer was simple! I have a UV filter that I cannot for the life of me get clean. I simply touched it a while ago whilst removing it.

 

So, easy, you just wipe off the finger mark with lens paper... Noooo, it leaves a bigger mark! Hmmm okay, take a lens cloth. Same. Lens fluid plus lens paper... biggest f-up - it looks as if the thing now has a fatty layer over it - that fluid just goes blotchy over the entire filter.

 

Any other ideas?! Worst is, I have replaced it in the end. Yesterday evening a droplet fell just in front of the lens, splashing onto the UV filter. I take a lens cloth, just dab it away... Huge "vaal kol" this morning.

 

A lens pen was suggested and I do not have a lens pen, but I thought that's just the same fluid in a different format.

 

If it makes any difference: I know it's a Kenko UV filter, not exaaaactly sure which "version" - think it's a Pro something.

Wyatt, we need a new image for the Parktown North Residents Association.. Any photo taken of a corner, pretty much endorses that particular building/restaurant and it is a grey area to use any one particular home view on newsletters.

We need ideas of how to get a shot like down a street maybe..that doesnt put focus on anything in particular. any ideas?

[The Ghost]

Sounds like you have an idea already.

Shoot with a large depth of field and shoot down a row of houses or the street.

Maybe do it in low light and turn on house, garden or street lights to attract the eye instead of a house doing that.

Sounds like the coating has gone bad, but then I am purely speculating.

I had the same issue with a UV filter, tried warm water with a little sunlight liquid, and got 99% of the greasy finger print off

Thanks.. Didnt think of doing a night/low light shot. Will try that..

Okay, I'll have to do more than blabber and start contributing, I presume. Don't be too harsh... Pic I took earlier the year.

 

 

Hmmm okay, how did this file shrink down to below 100K on the upload tool?! Anyhow, seems this will be a sample of the pic I tried to upload. Seems I need help there too...

Saw this camera on one of them tech shows, very interesting concept, allows you to refocus after the picture is taken, and allows a change of the perspective:

Okay so... how do I upload pics like Wyat's? My upload has somehow shrunk in size and the definition looks horrible compared to what was uploaded directly above.

 

Or... what resizing tool do you use? Because my Elements went a bit cock-eyed last night and at times simply did not want to resize the image. Maybe I screwed it up there somewhere. But point remain, a 600 or 700 K file ended up 98K after this upload. Then, trying to save it larger and upload it, I got an error saying file too big.

 

I tried via "more reply options" --> "Attach file", just for the record.

[SeaBee]

Okay,trying something new here, more to try and get a handle on the resizing than anything else...

 

 

Hmm, again size differs between the upload and the explorer value. But IQ looks a bit better, I think?
