Can anyone owning a 24-70mm lens and a B+W UV MRC filter tell me whether or not the lens hood will still fit on the lens when this filter is on it? TIA Dave

I just received my B-H catalogue and it reminds me so much of the Sears Christmas catalogue that I have to laugh. It's almost as thick as the old Sears catalogues and has everything you could ever want in it. I don't know whether or not they ship these catalogues overseas or outside of the US...

So. California is undergoing what they call a "Santa Anna" condition where the winds change direction and blows out of the east bringing super dry air from the Sonora and Mojave deserts. Right now the relative humidity is around 8% making it perfect conditions for us photographers. D800...

Well, I got my email from Microsoft this morning with the link to download and install the new Windows 8 OS. Because I bought my current desktop just days after the cut-off, I was one of the many people who qualify for a $14.95 version of the software. But....I've yet to read an article that...

FYI - LensRentals Notices The Nikon D600 Sensor Collecting Dust | Popular Photography
