Nice shot of the Berghoff I loved going there until they shut down...
2 years later back in biz, no Union
The bar had no chairs, eat expensive GOOD lunch standing up
No women at bar, they were first allowed at tables 1969
Post prohibition got License #1
Chicago private clubs never shutdown
I loved the place, but have not been back since they broke the Union
for my record I was never in a Union

The other day, I was out photographing with my camera on a strap. I like this one: https://luma-labs.com/pages/qd-loop-3-5 Hudson Henry has a discount code for 10% off. Note: for this strap your L-bracket or plate has to have a QD socket. My Kirk L-bracket does. Anyway, my 82mm filter fell off while I was walking around. Luckily it wasn't a very expensive one. So I needed a replacement. I've settled on an 82mm Kase Wolverine Magnetic filter. You thread a magnetic adapter on the front of the lens, and now filters and lens caps magnetically snap right on. I don't like threading big filters on and off in the field. My camera is full spectrum, and so I need to swap out IR and IR/UV blocking filters when I change from IR to color photos. Luckily, Kase makes a 720nm filter, and Haida makes the IR/UV block. I wish the filters were 95mm, but those aren't available in magnetic filters that I know of. Anyway, I'll report back after I use the filters in the field.
Note on full spectrum camera: the colors aren't completely normal, and you get color shifts on the edges with really wide lenses. The later are fairly easy to fix with gradient local adjustments in raw processing. Since I'm not really a color photographer, that's ok with me, but it's good to know about.

Thanks for finding the Haida filters for the UV/IR cut filter. The prices are very reasonable. But, it may be an indication of the quality, and a reason of the color shift on the edges. LifePixel charges $130.00 for a 77mm version of this filter. Haida charges $70.00. From the feedback on the LifePixel site, there are no complaints about this problem.
From their specs:
When combined with a wide-angle lens, lower-frequency wavelengths of visible light associated with yellow, orange, and red colors passing through the filter and along that lens type's curved edges can be impeded in a significantly greater degree than higher-frequency wavelengths of visible light associated with blue and violet colors. This can result in an unwanted green cast within an image taken with a Haida NanoPro MC UV/IR Cut Filter and a wide-angle lens. To avoid such color shifts using this filter, it is recommended not to be used with lenses that are intended to provide an angle of view greater than 60°.
Jon, It's possible that the filter is the problem. On the other hand, it wouldn't surprise me at all if Haida made filters for other brands., such as Kolari and Lifepixel. I seem to remember Kolari telling me that there would be color shifts with lenses wider than about 24mm, but I can't seem to find that source.
