Complete Lens Filters Guide by TJ Tierney

TJ Tierney writes, "Filters for B/W photography: Just because you use black and white film it doesn't mean that you can't use filters - there are several filters for B/W photography. The polarizing filter is one of the few filters that work for B/W and colour photography. It will help to darken shades of grey in your final print.

The red filter is one of the most popular. This filter will darken the sky giving your image more impact. The most common red filter is the number 25. Filters for B/W work by transmitting light of its own colour, and holds back light of the other colours."          Full Article

Panasonic Lumix TZ1 Initial Review at Digital Camera Info

Digital Camera Info wrote a review of the Panasonic Lumix TZ1 and said: "The Panasonic Lumix TZ1 is priced fairly at $349. When considering manual control and image flexibility, it isn’t a steal, but for an optically stabilized Leica-approved 10x zoom lens in a pocketable frame, it is extremely affordable. The TZ1 is positioned in its own little niche of the digital camera market; there are no other point-and-shoot-styled cameras that offer double-digit optical zoom with image stabilization. Because of this, the Panasonic TZ1 is setting the standard with its price point."          Full Article
