Rodger: Colin:With digital photography, does anybody see a use for non-multi-coated filters? You can give them to poor students that spent the last 3 days looking for a second job to fun a 70-200 and strobe kit

That's what Adorama wanted to do with them too, but I didn't want to just give them away to strangers.
What filter sizes do you need? I'll look and see if I've got anything you might find useful. If you want it, it's yours, IF you promise to use them. I don't want to just give them away for somebody else to sell. I've got some B+W non-multi-coated as well, but I think they're all 77mm, which means you'll need to be going the 2.8 route for your 70-200, I believe.....
Oh no I would use them for sure. But if you would rather sell them that is completely understandable.
You're right. My current filter sizes are 52mm, 58mm and will be 67mm. (Ahh I'd love f/2.8 for my 70-200 but I see a strobe kit + f/4 as more useful at the moment).
If you have any that fit my sizes and feel generous the email is obleyr@gmail.com :)
I've only got a 52mm Calumet in that range...
Yours if you want it.
Speaking of Calumet, I see their filters are on sale right now and I don't know anything about them. What do people know as far as image quality, durability and cleanability? Thanks.
Promaster filters are currently made by Hoya. The Promaster MC line is the same as Hoyas.
but what about Calumet brand filters?
Stephen Probert:but what about Calumet brand filters?
I've never heard of Calumet's filters, but I highly recommend B+W filters.
your more then welcome to send them to me... a poor college student ha I just bought a 24-105 and have no filters for it.. sadly I also have no money left over for them hah
I was wondering what the biggest downside to not having multi coated?
I mean anything besides reflecting more light
