Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you have experimented with lens filters. When I had my Panasonic PTAE 100, I was a bit disappointed by the screen door effect and the poor depth of field. Then one day while I was watching Harry potter with my brother, he put up his sunglasses. At first I thought it was a very bad joke since I took so much trouble in darkening the room.
That quickly changed however when my brother urged me to try the glasses because of a better picture. Indeed: colours and depth of field(black level) were much improved and I could not detect the screendooreffect. The picture was so much more cinematic!
The next day I went to a camera shop and tried out different camera filters. The grey filter suited the best and since then I haven’t been watching without.
Recently I’ve purchased another projector (sanyo plv z1)because of the difficulties I had with the panny projector (scrolling diagonal lines on progressive pal). The projector is so much better! Realising the benefit of changing components and reading about a hoya fl-d filter on the internet(in conjunction with a panny projector), I am looking into other lenses as well and was wondering if any of you could help me.
According to the lens specs of the hoya filter it would reduce the green colours in favour of red (to counter effect the green colours of indoor lightning photography). Not sure how it works out though and if I order the lens I am stuck with the purchase.
For those who haven’t tried lens filters: just use sunglasses for fun and let me know! 8)
Regards,
Jurgen
