In Reply to: help with lens hood... posted by Joe M on August 21, 2003 at 16:50:51:
Thanks for the great answer. You explained it very clearly. I have noticed some vignetting on some ofmy prints, but I don't recall whether the hood was on or off on those shots. I guess I need to make some test shots and figure out what works best.Thanks,
JamesPS: I used to have Acoustat Monitor Fours. Great speakers. Only reason I sold them was because my amps were a little finicky and had to get them repaired a lot. Now I'm into horns and have Altec Model 19's.

Vignetting ,will also occur on the corner edges of prints due to more than one filter attached to the front of a lens. I try to purchase thin filter mounts. These unwanted effects can be viewed trough the viewfinder while searching the corners before pushing the shutter.Thanks for your words about Acoustats I will always listen to planars . I've owned these since '78 even as I was employed as a motion picture projectionist building several Altec A 7 horns for theater houses.
I hadn't thought about the filter. I have a neutral density polarized screwed onto the front. It appears to be a thin mount, but it's easy enough to take off. Thanks again for the insight.
