When I got my first filter I did quite a bit of with and without comparisons and found the colour to be much more saturated with the filter on, and green grass, in particular, to be quite the wrong colour in full sun without filters. I have used them for everything ever since. The man made material problem is not just black either, most man made fibres of any colour are wildly out unfiltered, though the black is the most obvious. I had a picture of one of my grandchildren in a pushchair taken before I got any filters and the colours are a Monty Python sketch short of reality! Maybe I am not being conscientious enough on my white balance. cheers, Frank On 8 Sep, 2009, at 19:24, Tina Manley wrote: > At 01:56 PM 9/8/2009, you wrote: >> There is actually no reason not to use the IR/UV filters on the M9, >> other than the standard objection to filters in general.
