Playing with Big Toys

If you have visited this blog before, you know I am always posting comparison images.  Today I took some shots with the Fujifilm X100s using WCL-x100 conversion lens and the Nikon D600 with a Tokina Ultra Wide 17-35mm lens.  For specific Exif data, you can visit my flickr page.

Overall I think the x100s is pretty amazing. Both cameras used a circular polarizer. Images edited in Aperture along with Color Efex Pro.

Wide Angle Circular Polarizers

I have been doing some research info Circular Polarizers for an 82mm filter thread. I have been trying to decide between a B+W XS-Pro Kaesemann at over $250 and the Marumi DHG at under $100.

I have been using a 77mm Marumi with my Tamron lens for over a year and I have always been happy with the results. The build quality is great and at only 5mm thick it is thinner then the B+W, it has been great at wide angles.

At this point I do not see any advantage to spending the extra money on a B+W when Marumi has great reviews, is reliable and produces great quality images.
