Per Mr. Tellefson's question regarding adjusting polarizers when using a camera with an UW housing: As far as I know, housings will not let you rotate a polarizing filter (to get the appropriate amount of "correction"). The housing manufacturers produce various sizes of geared "rings" which attach to various camera lenses near the point it attaches to the camera body. When the camera is mounted and locked into the housing, those gears on the lens mesh with the aperture and focus control gears in the main camera housing. I'm not aware of any "stock" solutions for rotating a filter mounted on the end of a lens, especially at the end of a longer lens. BTW, if you're interested in digital output, but don't want to go fully digital yet, you might want to try Dale Photo Labs in Florida. For a very reasonable fee, they will develop and mount your slides (or print your negatives) and for a small additional fee, burn them onto a CD ROM. You then have prints for the family/club album and digital shots for e-mail/web sites (...and you can "polarize" (darken) the sky with Photoshop! ) (I'm not affiliated with Dale Labs in any way...I've just used them a few times when I needed digital output and have been very satisfied with their services.) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************Received on Fri Nov 20 1998 - 11:24:05 PST
