Order of filters/lenses for camcorder
Hoping someone can help a relative-newbie camera-wise about some
lenses and filters. For my Sony digital camcorder (TRV 38) I want to get 3 filters (UV, polorization, florescent) and also a wide angle lense and a telephoto lense. If I want one or two of the filters on with the lenses, what order do I put them on. - filter on the camera, then the lense on the filter? - lense on the camera then filter on the lense? - either? This matters, since the ring size for the front of the lense is not the same as the back, thus depending on where I need to put the filters is the size filters I need to get. Oh, another question is, do the filters help at all? Are they a gimmick? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks, Carl |

For my Sony digital camcorder (TRV 38) I want to get 3 filters (UV, polorization, florescent) and also a wide angle lense and a telephoto lense. Skip the fluorescent, the polarizer is good for outdoors on sunny days for intensifying colors, and the UV is for lens protection only. If I want one or two of the filters on with the lenses, what order do I put them on. - filter on the camera, then the lense on the filter? - lense on the camera then filter on the lense? - either? Putting a filter between the camera lens and converter may cause problems; putting it on the front of the converter may not be possible. Maybe you don't need filters...

Oh, another question is, do the filters help at all? Are they a gimmick? Most are... Most tele converters are poor - but a few WA converters are sharp enough to be worthwhile. Camcorders come with long lenses, but they are not very wide, so the WA is the most useful item other than a UV (a good close-up lens can be good cheap fun, though! ;-). -- David Ruether http://www.ferrario.com/ruether |

For my Sony digital camcorder (TRV 38) I want to get 3 filters (UV, polorization, florescent) and also a wide angle lense and a telephoto lense. For use as the camera was intended (underwater) You have no need of any of these filters. For land use I believe it has built in white balance so I don't think you will ever need the florescent filter and with video polarization filters are very difficult to use any often detract from the results. You can always do without the UV, and just be reasonable careful when using the wide or telephoto. Putting a UV behind the lens would be rather silly.
