Hiya people!!!! HEEEEELP!!!!! Thought about getting me some filters for the first time, and i dont know anything at all about them. I was hoping anyone of you could help me out and perhaps shed some light to some of the questions i have regarding different filters. These are the 58mm-filters i was looking to buy: * IR-filter (any particular brand you suggest?) * Skylight-filter (or UV...which one do you prefer?) * Close up-filter (+1, +2, +3 or +4....whats the difference?) * ND4 or ND8-filter to get greater shutter-control.... As you can see im totally lost when it comes to filters and can definitly use all the help i can get. I would also appriciate it greatly if anyone of you could direct me to where i could buy these filters (i was thinking Hoya-brand), preferably as a package deal. Been browsing through swedish stores like an idiot but none of them carry all these filters in stock. Usually they have UV-filter but not IR and vice versa. Bla bla bla.... Hope you all had a wonderful weekend, mine was rather okay with some norhtern lights brightening my evenings. smiley.gif Andreas

How come we say 'It's colder than hell outside' when isn't it realistically always colder than hell since hell is supposed to be fire and brimstone?
