[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 596107, member: 24569"] Yeah, Tony took a LOT of heat for that video. :) Tony is WAY better than Ken Rockwell. His Lightroom book and vids are quite good, for instance. Unlike Ken, Tony actually tests all the products he reviews, and he gives honest reviews even when the manufacturer may not care much for his assesment. I agree that this video, though, was not well done. I think his intention was good with this video. I'm sure he corresponds with a lot of people who spend a good deal of money on things like polarizing filters and ND filters without understanding their use, advantages and limitations. In this video, though, he was too anti-filter without explaining when these filters really are needed. Getting a nice blue sky usually works better in post processing than a polarizing filter, for instance, but reducing reflections can ONLY be done with a polarizing filter on the camera. Anyway, yeah, it would be best if he tossed this vid, and did a new one explaining pros and cons instead of just cons. [/QUOTE]
