lens-accessories Digital Filter Info

If you’re thinking of buying this filter then you clearly want to protect the clarity and integrity of your original image (i.e. the resulting image without filter, just the naked lens). And you also want to protect your front element from dings. I can relate.

I wanted to pixel peep to compare sharpness results. I took two pictures of my bedroom in a high contrast setting. One picture had the Hoya filter on my Tokina 11-16mm. The other picture was just the naked lens.

During the shoot I some how forgot which picture was which (I was slightly distracted at the time). So I pixel peep and I honestly could not tell the difference between the images, even at 100% zoom.

I did the test again, reminding myself which picture was taken with the filter. If anything the filter actually improved the quality of the lens! I was pleasantly shocked! Here is a $60 filter on top of a $600 lens and it actually improves sharpness (but oh so very slightly)!

Wow, I’m in love. Not only do I have an excellent filter to protect my lens but this filter actually improves sharpness. As a side note, good technique is always necessary for sharp, crisp pictures (use a pro tripod, good ball head, cable/remote release).

Recommendations: Hell yes. Hands down a great filter and it is slim too so there is no vignetting at 11mm on a Nikon DX camera (1.5 crop factor). I’d get it again.


Help answer the question about Digital Filter
Can I put a fish eye filter on a regular digital camera? ?
I don't have a DSLR like I want but have Digital Filter a rather nice camera, a fujifinepix s1800 and I was wondering if they have a fish eye filter for a digital camera and not only for a detachable lens? If so any idea on the price? Thanks(:
