UV-Fliter, "Snap-On" for PD-170
Anyone know of, or of more import have experience using a "snap-on" uv filter for the 170? I am purchasing my 170 next week and would like to protect my lens at all costs. However I would like to be able to quickly remove it when I run into reflection issues durring a shoot.

If you buy a good multi-coated filter, like a B+W, you won't have a reflection issue at all. I cannot recall, in 5 years, having any problems with good quality filters.
I would like to see a good quality snap in but I'm afraid the mechanism will be so bulky that it might intrude at wide angles. |
I'm with Miike on this - go for the very best super multi coated filter you can lay your hands on. I have two VX2ks, one with a totally uncoated UV, one with a S-HMC Hoya, and I can demonstrate in seconds why you should go for the multi-coated one.
I like your idea for a snap on/off filter (a bit like the Raynox wide-angle lenses), but I've never seen them. I'd like one too, as whenever I use a wide-angle converter, off comes the filter. Every single time. tom. |

If you stacked a load of filters one on top of 'tother, then it would indeed vignette the image. But you're safe with one or two filters of the same thread size.

I was using some screw on UV filter for a few months dunno what brand it came with one of my cameras..
Anyways I just bought a Century Sunshade and UV-410 4x4 glass filter what a difference that was. I still can't believe it.. It set me back about $600 but it also included a rotating polorizer as well.. The glass sure makes the difference or the quality of the glass or something.. I know ebay sells like 3 snap on filters for the PD-150/170 for like $20 not sure on their quality.. |
