I don't know which one to get for my Canon 60d:

If not these two, what other Hoya would you recommend? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Jun 17, 2011 02:22 | #4 Here's another question: is it common to clean filters? The way I clean my lens, should that process be the same for filters (e.g. rocket blower, lens pen, and etc...)? Canon EOS 60D/Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC

I have a Hoya multicoted UV on my 35mm 1.4 and if it's somewhat dark and a source light is in the frame, there will usually be a green smudge-like thing on my subject's face (always on the face, never anywhere else... sheesh.) However, I haven't had a problem with the Tiffen multicoated UV on my 70-200 2.8. Something to keep in mind if you're shooting something that is unrepeatable like a wedding. 1Ds Mark II, 5D Mark III, Canon AE1, Yashica Electro 35, Mamiya RB67, Yashica 124, some lenses with red rings on them, and some flashey things

Jun 18, 2011 02:21 | #7 Thanks. I ordered a Hoya HD Filter UV 62. So, is it recommended to put on my filter for sunny purposes and not use it when it's dark? Now I need to learn how to put it on also!? Canon EOS 60D/Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC

I'd actually take it off if it's really sunny since there's usually an increase in flaring (noticeable or not) but since it's not a cheap filter, it shouldn't impact your image much so I'd just leave it on for most occasions. It's a simple twist on so there's not much of a learning curve.

The glass is uneven, causing an "interesting" look in the bokeh (a line running through it)q.

Jun 18, 2011 02:52 | #10 Thanks. So it's on now. For some reason, I just assumed I could leave it on permanently with my lens cap over it. That didn't work out. If I'm used to using my lens cap, am I just going to have to remove and put it back on every time? Canon EOS 60D/Sigma 30mm F1.4 EX DC

There's nothing wrong with that.
