Tanya, no filter will help you. you need to learn to check your histogram periodically whenever lighting changes a lot and the exposure is critical. use a test shot to check the highlights right away. shooting digital, you can afford to take extra shots of this nature. for tricky exposures, you

Moving to AF: PZ1P or MZ-S? Pentax or Nikon?

Hello all. I've decided that within the next year (specifically, before September 2005) I would like to move up to AF. This is mainly because I will be in Australia doing some shoots at the World Solar Challenge, where MF didn't quite cut it last time I was out. I'd also like to move into

Along with that, even though the FA 135/2.8 isn't a * lens, it is built like a tank much like the * lenses. It's a very good performer. My personal hunch is that the Nikon or Canon pro grade bodies are going to be more rugged and better at AF. Much as I love Pentax, for what you are describing,
