Tokina 12-24mm Wide Angle Lens Question ….?
So I bought the Tokina 12-24mm wide angle digital camera for my new Nikon D80. I bought it with 77mm threaded circular one UV filter to minimize glare. The lens comes with a hood. Can I use the filter to be screwed to the front while I have the hood? or I have to remove the lens hood to use? In addition, the manual lens i recommend using an external flash like an SB-600, as it says that built on work practice effectively with this objective. Why? I have the UV filter to protect the finish of the lens itself, so as to minimize glare and ghosting.
I have a Tokina 12-24mm. Good lens. 1) forget the UV filter. In reality, there will be more ghosting and glare, reduce contrast. Shooting without the filter and use the lens cover. Put the lens cap back on when not recording, to protect the lens. 2) the filter is usually only recommend a circular polarizer. Without But the goal is so large that the effects of a circular polarizer to darken skies are not as effective, except when the lens is zooming in 3) other filters are more specialist – he graduated neutral density filters – and are designed only to be used to create a specific effect, such as retaining the lightness of the sky so you can get the knowledge acquired in the correct exposure. They are not "leaving the lens" types of filters. 4) the best way to minimize glare and other questions: use a parasol. Do not shoot directly into light. Be aware of any light hitting the front of the lens side. 5), the external flash covers an area higher than the flash, well that is likely to receive a shadow from the lens itself in the picture with the built-in flash you do not a flash in the shoe. 6) The suspension to f / 8 or better will give images without chromatic aberration, shooting wide images will give the chromatic aberration in the areas of color high-contrast purple (such as branches against a sky-colored, for example).
