Anyone have any recommendations for Polarizing filters for the DP3m? I'm considering the Hoya PRO1 digital filter, seems a good balance of quality and price, but do any of you with a DP3m use a filter you can recommend?
I've noticed that the LH3-01 hood that I have for the camera is threaded to take a filter, but I don't know what the thread size is and can't find out....any ideas anyone? I know the actual lens thread is 52mm dia. but any clue what the thread of the hood is?
Also, another filter question....a lot of people seem to sit on the fence with U.V filters and digital, and personally I'm inclined to agree that they only serve any real purpose when shooting with film.....BUT, a lot of Merrill fans seem to use UV Heliopan SH-PMC filters with 'strong recommendation' and I'm not entirely sure why? If its a case of protection....thats not something i'd ever subscribe to unless facing sea spray or grit at a car rally (for example) but I'd be very interested to see any actual real life examples of shots taken with and without U.V filters by comparison on the DP3m, just to see if there are actually any colour / contrast gains to be made?
P.S, I'm not U.V bashing so please lets not start a huge argument for and against, I'd rather people using the filters just display their results if possible....I'm really intrigued!
Thanks!
