E-Mail To Mythbusters For The Greatest UV Vs Non-UV Challenge Suggestion!!!

Hi All,

Inspire By This Thread: This is why I use a UV filter

Most of us here wouldn't have the heart to destroy lenses and camera for settle this old argument. Only few people in this earth do those things in the name of 'science' and entertainment (more IMO). Why not send some suggestion for the Mythbusters ?! They are running out the idea anyway.

I'm cooking up my e-mail to them now;
AND I NEED YOUR SUPPORT, PLEASE

Have fun

I'm almost certain that dropping my 20D from eyelevel onto concrete improved the quality of the shots, especially from the 16-35 that I had mounted at the time: https://photography-on-the.net …entid=217276&d=​1193736894

Do it!

It seems like a topic with too little mass appeal for a them. Why don't you buy some old broken lenses off eBay (as long as the front element is intact) and some cheap filters and document the results?

LOL...this is something I've been contemplating recently, myself

Don't worry, I just need to mention that tests 'can change history of human behaviour', and 'have great impact in history of photography' blah... blah...

I'm still looking their e-mail

I doubt they'd go for it...aside from photographers, nobody would give a hoot...heck, I really don't care all that much either

Oh I'm sure the general public has SO MUCH interest in that topic and rating is gonna go through the roof!

I can't imagine how much fun the show is gonna be watching them putting filters after filters onto lens and taking pictures after pictures for the whole hour! That's so exciting!

Get them to solve the 24-70 vs 24-105 and RAW vs JPEG mysteries while you're at it.

Seriously though...blowing up stuff is going to make better TV.

I want to see this episode. Where do I sign up?

I met Adam Savage last year at an event. Very personable. He is a photographer, and he owns Canon equipment. Don't know if he'd do any photography myths on the show, but he might get a kick out of you suggesting some.

Sorry to be a downer but this will never make the show.

If they were going to do one, I'd like to see them cover the "hot pixel fix".

Sounds more like something you could see on DigitalRev TV. They destroy stuff all the time, so it might be worth a suggestion to them.

Maybe if they put the lens on a rocket sled.
