Disadvantages of electronic first curtain shutter? @RussellMcMahon - I'd suspect a changed timing spec, since the auto aperture on the Minoltas was assuming a mirror by default. (It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I recall the 9-series Minoltas stopping down when the mirror raised rather than when the shutter was tripped.) Anything made with the SLTs and NEXs in mind would be starting with a different set of assumptions. |

How to shoot extreme macro shot of an image formed on a water droplet? @OlinLathrop - try it. This isn't the first picture shot like that, and that's what they look like. |

Why would I use a rear gelatin filter over a front filter? The gels (real gelatin gels, at least) are really, really thin, so yes, you could fit multiples. The problem is that they'll stick together when it's humid and warm, and Newton's rings aren't an unknown side effect of stacking if the filters are warped/rippled. They're also really easy to tear, snap and permanently fingerprint (hey, they are gelatin after all). They're optically much better than glass, but such a royal pain — there's no getting around the fact that they're expensive disposables, so if you're not making money with 'em... |

How to shoot extreme macro shot of an image formed on a water droplet? @Leandro - the plant is somewhat shaded; the lake isn't. There is no visible external lighting (no flash or reflector). |

Why would I use a rear gelatin filter over a front filter? They're not particularly common anymore, since their main uses (colour correction and B&W contrast) have largely become the province of post-processing. The main supplier was, at one time, Kodak (the brand to search for is Wratten). B&H still sells them. |

How to shoot extreme macro shot of an image formed on a water droplet? @IlmoEuro — it may be there, but it would be so extremely out of focus that you can't make anything out at all. While there is a great depth of field in the virtual image (the scene you can see through the droplet), it is millimitre-thin in the real image (everything else). |

Why would I use a rear gelatin filter over a front filter? The sample swatches are almost always of lighting filters ("cine gels"), which are not the sort of thing one would ordinarily use in the optical path when creating an image. Imaging gels are usually small, delicate (traditionally, actual gelatin), optically flat and relatively expensive. |
