Back-Up and Polarizer
My EX-1 is arriving tomorrow, and I have a couple of questions.
Back Up I'll be running with several 8 gig cards for now. Are people satisfied with backing up to DVD-DL? If so, are you using -R or +R? I can also back up to Blu-ray. Polarizer Any suggestions for a thin polarizer that will enable the lens hood to be attached? I saw a Hoya thin circular polarizer on B&H's website. Matte box and other add ons will come later. Thanks a lot, Forrest |

I think optical based backup is slow. And it depends upon the archival life you need of the data. A few years-- optical media should last. 10 years. Longer. I'd go with DLT or even better LTO tape. |

Just remember to spool you DLT or LTO tapes from time to time or they won't last either.

A few years is probably fine. I do a lot of medical/healthcare work and that is ever changing...so a combo of hard drive and optical back up may be fine, albeit somewhat slow.
