UV filter?

Greetings,

Haven't heard folks mention using them for underwater use--they supposedly "reduce haze" topside, but I'm thinking are of limited use down under....thoughts?

TIA,

Rick

Topside is one thing but more than likely there will be no room in your housing for it.-Steve B)

What Steve said...plus it will just push the camera lens further back in the housing increasing the chance of the port vignetting. Also as I recall from my still photo days, they slightly darken the image. So you'dneed more light to compensate.

Why would you do it anyway? Haze has never been an issue for me u/w....

Germans tend to use them more......

Copy all--that's the last thing I need is less light at 70-80 feet here off Destin. I can't even get a MWB at depth...but, did get it to MWB on the white rope while descending and had the best video colors at depth in 7 video dives yet!

Mark, you get into the kava? ;-)
