  1. Someone at the photo store too, figured that the weird effect was caused by some kind of interference between the layers of glass. It became clear to me, after shooting some test shots outside the photo store with a tryout lens provided for the occasion, a Hoya, that a much more expensive filter of, obviously, a high quality, would not present the disturbing bokeh, however, at this moment I need to cough up money for other essentialities. Then I also tend to agree with the non-filter-is-best crowd. So I simply bought a lens hood for a low price. It provides protection and the image quality is great.

  3. Good evening Tony, o_O Oops.... spelling correction in my spelling correction.. "frist" should of course be "first". Lol ;-) Yeah, the effect is "interesting" and totally ruinous for the photos....
  4. Oops, spelling correction in my text, frist line: "winched" should of course be "winced".
  5. Hello Mark, Thank you for your post and the link - I must say, I winched, seeing Northrup hacking at his canon lens with a vengeance... Anyhow, perhaps the scratches on that lens did not affect later photos, but the lens on my Canon Powershot G9 most certainly did not perform well after being damaged, a big, deep scratch - all photos after the damage showed a slightly over-exposed area directly under the scratch. Cheers, Mabel A.
  6. Hello all, Isaac Gibson is very very likely right. I was alerted by a user on DPreview that my own "strange" bokeh problem might have to do with the filter. I then searched the Net and found this thread. Thus I created an account to confirm. Although ten years ago, proof is never too late. Here is my own experience: THIS is what I got, using a Kenko UV filter on a Nikon Coolpix P900: I believe the diagonal lines are rather obvious. Then take this one, also with Kenko UV on same camera, notice the little stripes, creating a sort of "hatching" effect in the out of focus grass: Then this photo, taken WITHOUT the Kenko culprit - as you can see the bokeh of the grass is as it should be:
