Hi -- a few filter questions for the cognoscenti:
1. Is it necessary to make an exposure adjustment to compensate for filter factors when using filters on the G system, or is metering done TTL such that filter factors are automatically accounted for? (How about with Contax SLR's? And for extra points, what about with the Konica Hexar?)
2. With the G system, what sort of polarizer -- linear or circular -- is appropriate? Also, any tips on how to use a circular polarizer with the G? Same question for Contax SLR. What are you looking for when you rotate?
3. I have recently picked up some very reasonably priced Hoya "Super HMC" UV filters, the narrow profile "pro" ones. I suspect that they are superior to the very expensive Contax G filters, but couldn't say for sure. Any opinions?
Many thanks for your responses.
Regards,
Kirk
