But is is not very good as a lens protector. If you have Photoshop you can really cut thru the haze.. http://www.jakeludington.com/photography/20060921_fixing_haze_in_digital_photos.html I have had large success using levels. For details just Google, there are tons of free tutorials on this. -- Peter

A fool and his money are easily parted. Again. ;-) Next time you think about spending your hard earned $$ on junk lenses, or on an unnecessary UV filter, why don't you ask a few questions on here *before* wasting your money rather than telling us only when it is too late? Several people would have told you not to waste your money. You might also have had some good suggestions as to how you could spend the same money on something different, but far better.

Okay, let's just rewind and ask... what could I of spent my $195 that would of been FAR better to get me up close and personal with stuff that I can't capture with my Tamron 18-250???? And my "hard earned money" came from selling some junk I had sitting around the house on eBay.

BTW After reading your posting I will try some test shots with my old Nikkor 500 mirror. -- Peter |
