What filter should I buy ?

[TT]

Nope, mine is just slightly larger than the "virgin" lense and it appects already the weight balance of the camera! For yours you will need to train your forearms before going out and take pics. Mine is a 58 mm like Darkel's!

I really can't see why yours has to be 70+!!

Maybe the dumb girl at the shop just told me the wrong size, wouldn't suprise me. I guess I will find out on Friday......

Within the user manual you usally find a list of accessories and in there you should be able to see the diameter of the available filters.

[dingo]

Ah yes I found it and seems she was wrong.

It says the thread diameter is 58mm and it weighs about 19g.

hey tt do you keep a camera with you everywhere? or only when you know there will be cars. Around here i see atleast one exotic and several classics every single day and some of them i have gotten on my cell cam, but like the pininfarina maserati i shot the other day i wished that i had a better cam the shots were sucky.

Yeah dingo, for most non-SLR cameras, 58 is the correct diameter. spank the lady next time you see her

gtx, yes, I have my camera with me 99% of the time, that's why I rarely miss an opportunity if a car is parked somewhere, TT will have a picture most of the time

some definate good advice; you never know what is parked downtown, or at a shopping center... or even passing by.
anyway, has anybody here used light-pollution filters??? im looking to perhaps get one of that nature today. in any case, i'll show the results of it when i get back from my mini-vacation

But they are 30mm I guess, not 58, that makes a big difference

yea, 33mm, the 58 are +-150EUR

what difference does the 58mm make ? and would it be possible to put the 58 on a SONY DSC P92 ?

[Darkel]

the 58 is just hem ... bigger
It's exactly the same in fact, and if the specific adapter was made for a 33mm, a 58 wouldn't fit

BTW, my adapter will be delivered tomorrow, sony is maybe expensive but damn fast, delivery by UPS in one day (I checked the "regular delivery" box though :shock: )

yea that's quick, I just ordered the Sony adaptor @ german onlineshop, €39 including shippingcost

still haven't made up my mind where to order the filters, will customs f*ck me if I have it shipped from the US ?

[TT]

If the declared value is higher than the max limit, yes you will need to pay the custom fee. Here the limit for something bought from a store is something like 60 USD

LOL.....I should get a call to come into the store today, but from what I remember her ass is not something I want to spank.
