Anyone experience whether it causes 1) distortion, 2) vignetting (or soft periphery), and 3) chromatic aberation? Thanks!

Dinosaw, I've used these star filters in astrophotography to highlight bright stars. They don't add any distortions at all. Zero chromatic aberration, no vignetting as long as they are stacked with other filters, and no detectable edge distortions. If you want to create highlight effects on bright objects, I highly recommend these filters. Best wishes, Ron Smith

IMHO.....the issues you mention are lens and not filter issues. I use my star filters on one of Nikon's sharpest lenses, the 35mm f 1.8 DX which according to some reviewers, has a boatload of barrel distortion. Who knew? All I ever get are razor-sharp contrasty, colorful images. For all practical purposes, unless you're making huge crops, none of the above "imperfections" are even remotely noticeable, and none are caused by the filters.

I don't see that effect, but you should probably ask someone else. My eyes aren't perfect, and it might be something I don't notice. I can't say that I've ever seen that effect before. I've always had better-quality monitors, and I can say that I love this particular monitor very much. I would certainly buy it again and recommend it.

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

the yellow/green tint is a known issue with the projection mechanism. mine was fixed under warranty, which was extended by sony for this issue. I don't know if the free fix is still available. if you search your model number a bunch of stuff will come up. good luck!

Thank you very much for your response. I was beginning to think I was the only one with this problem. Your explanation is probably correct. I have had two other digital cameras and neither had this problem. I doubt if much can be done about it...

I have not seen any problems yet, but I'm only using it on my macro lens and a low f-stop for a good depth of field. I haven't tried a wide open f-stop yet.

I have bought four of them and no one has had any problems. I do agree there may some distortion in the shade, but it does not seem to be that bad. What are you hearing?

Occasionally it messed with the focus for a second or so til it worked things out but i never noticed. Here's as good a test as you'll see. http://youtu.be/cj5NBvNEksg

Thomas, I have the same issue. The settings taken from CNET look god awful. Movie mode looks particularly heinous. It places a sort of grey/green film over the colors and the picture. Dynamic seemed to be a better mode for me. Contrast 100/ Brightness 45ish/ Sharpness 0/Color 46/ Tint 50-50/Color tone Cool 1

The adapter and UV filter will probably cause vignetting at the wide angle setting of G10. Not fatal but to be considered.

I use it why my Vision:M and couldn't disagree more. With my old Creative Zen Nomad 40GB it was perfect. With the Vision:M, with no custom EQ, it becomes distorted. No setting I've used works. I don't understand why it's doing this, but it has me interested in buying another one.

Can you describe the conditions and the camera settings in which you usually see this? Are you shooting long bursts? In low light? What memory card are you using? Have you tried a different one? Have you reformated the memory card in the camera recently? Are you shooting jpeg, RAW or both?

Try turning "Deep Color Output" in the video settings to "Off". Seems to be working for me...

I haven't narrowed down a specific time this occurs...It def occurs when using flash and in low lighting, but occurs at other times as well. Using a very good memory card, can't remember off top of head but it has tons of storage. I have not reformated, my husband keeps telling me too :)Shooting in jpeg only.Guess I'll try reformating first! That would be too easy!

I have the same problem with the autofocus for video recording (even when set to "Full AF"). It occurs mostly during zooming in and not as much when zooming out. Sometimes, after zooming in, it will lose the focus and then regain it or not at all at times. This problem has occurred in bright light and sun outdoors and indoors in decent and dim light.It's too bad since the quality (color and clarity) seems excellent.

As you may have noticed, in most older panels/laptops (which probably don't have IPS), there is massive color distortion at relatively small viewing angles. This monitor is exactly the same as the U2713HM, except that it also has IPS (in-plane switching), which produces, among other effects, much better color fidelity at off-center viewing angles. In other words, I can look at my monitor from .5 degrees away from parallel to the screen, and still have no noticeable color distortion.

Yeah I dont have any problems with my display, but make sure your camera is decent and adjust to the light so the image looks good. Camera quality makes a difference.
