I accept your apology.

Adapter ring goes on first, THEN my 77mm CPL. Then the actual filter holder goes on. I can still rotate the CPL and the Filters independently. I have a non brand filter holder as I was in quick need of one. And again, as previously stated, I've been shooting like this, at 24mm for weeks, and yet...

Hi Jenny, I'll be honest, I was lost for words when writing. I did in fact mean vignetting.

So let me get this straight...my 24-70, with a lens thread of 77mm, wil l show cast from a 77mm CPL at 24mm? Is that what you're saying? Firstly, The P filter was in my image due to the depth of the actual thing. At 24mm of a 35mm format sensor, the angle of view is 84°, Meaning that around...

I was looking at slim line holders when I seen a cheapish z filter holder. The ring is odd as I can attach a cpl to it and still 2/3 filters, meaning I don't need the added expense of a larger cpl and adapters for landscapes.

You answered that question for yourself. Shooting at 24mm on a borrowed 6D at the time I got the edges of the filter holder(P-size holder). Hence the the only logical reason, up the size of filters to Z -size 100mm. I think you've maybe thought I was referencing screw on filters? Like CPL's?

When I purchased my 500D I read the manual and it pretty much stumped me. And whilst i have had a working knowledge of Dslrs for a while now, I was asking for suggestions on books people have personally read other than the manual.

As per tittle, I'll be purchasing a Canon 6D next week. Whilst I know there is a manual and I should and will read that, I feel a 3rd party book would help me get round a new camera. Does anybody body have any suggestions for a user guide to buy for my upcoming purchase?

I thought I added battery and charger to the list. I have travel adapter's also. The amount I'm taking does seem stupid, but I've always went on a "rather have and not use" policy. The only thing I'm the kit I am considering leaving is the 70-200. It's not used that much at all currently. I'm...

I'm looking at 100mm filters so I can use Grads if need be as well as a CPL. Thanks for the suggestion though. If I was going for a Screw on filter though, I'd probably go back to Hadia, I had one of them until I switched lens. Thank's for your input. But I've done my research and I'll be...

The Lee option is out of my price range. The Hitech has gotten good reviews that I'm happy with.

I'm closely approaching my holiday in June. And I've just been told by the airline that me and my Girlfriend have been upgraded on our flight out due to a cock up on their behalf. When reading the T&C's it shows my hand luggage has been upgraded from 6KG to 10KG, Which is less of a panic for me...

I knew I was missing something, I have a canon 24-70 f4 is and a 50 f1.4. Will be moving onto a 5D III next month also, if that helps too.

So I'm considering purchasing either a Canon 135 f2 L or a 200 f2.8 L and selling my 70-200 f4. Its sat on my desk for the past few months unused and I feel its time to move it on for something else. My main focus in photography is landscapes, but I plan to shoot more portraits and animal(mainly...

Could you not get a used lens hood and mod the hood to allow one to fit?
