I second that. Their film book is wrong about contrast (and the photos
are pretty poor, IMO.) From memory, they had colour temperature wrong
way around too, but that might have been some other writer. If 199
people express an opinion - and the Great Filter Question is like
that - I'll believe the 1 in 199 who has scientific proof. Here,
that's Gary Reese. Thanks, Gary, for your efforts!
P.S. I have a cheap 100mm filter that came with a 500m mirror
lens, and it is almost impossible to focus through. I don't think
there is any dispute that cheap filters are a disaster - the debate
is, or should be, about Hoya, B+W, camera brands etc.
