looking for filters at DVinfo.net

hey everyone, so im interested in buying some filters, for some sunny photo shoots for my vx2100.

but... do i really need a filter ? does the ND filter do a good enough job ?

i am using a sony .7 wide angle lens, and love it. It looks good for the spectator or subject, and does a good enough job at capturing just a hint more on the sides, without the fisheye.

also what would be good filters to buy for a sunny florida day with a bombshell model washing an expensive car.

please check my latest production, uploaded to the internet. I cant seem to get that "interlace" issue resolved. i just dont know what setting to use during capture, or export to get it perfect !

Not quite sure why you would need a filter for this. But IIRC, that sony lens does not have any filter threads. So if you use one, you would need some kind of matte box or filter holder which clamps on to the front. This is probably going to be more trouble than it's worth unless you have something very specific you're trying to accomplish.

thanks Boyd, well i was just wondering if there are filters available for the 58 mm Sony VX, when using the big 0.7 Sony Wideangle lens.
