Not quite a test but a surprise. I had bought a $5 Sakar UV filter and
pictured a big station TV antenna at night on Provia 100F with the 21/3.5.
(Mike would know which picture I am talking about, I had sent him a previous
attempt on Kodak ProImage100)
I kept it on during 30 sec exposure and got some funny effect: a very narrow
straight line (a ray) of red light escaping from a red light in the antenna,
which couldn't be produced either by flare or by the atmospheric conditions.
I shot the scene four times varying some parameters and tripod position just
some centimeters and it only happened once, of course in the better composed
attempt. I sort of liked it, but now I'm unscrewing this filter on any
difficult lighting conditions.
