UV-Pro is a unit with deep ultraviolet light-emitting diode (DUV-LED), which emits rays with wavelength shorter than 300nm (UVC). UVC protects cameras and lenses from going moudly by killing bacteria on the coating, destroying their DNA & RNA, thus permanently halting the reproduction.
this is good especially for outdoor photographer always visit high humidity environment. it come either CANON and Nikon mount now, it come with a mounting that can easily mount on the len and camera
a portable device to bringing any where
full charge ~4hours
scan 10 lenses now seem still alring
auto scan after press the light on button ~2 min each scan
One of my favor len, Canon EF TS-E 17mm F4 … it give sharpness, clarify that I love especially pair with new CANON EOS 5d/5Dsr.
The design of this Len limit ourselves to use filter which is my prefer way to shoot landscape … so I start with Order – Lee Filter Adapter Ring for TS-E 17mm.
but due to it’s limitation of shift, it may not perfect solution . I still use this as it can use all my existing 100mm square filters.
recently, Both Lee Filters and Haida provided better solution for CANON TS-E 17mm len. which is 150mm square filter solution. After long wait, finally I have a chance to test the HAIDA 150mm filter solution for TSE17mm. so this is another set of filters, yes real big to be easy handling which is 150mm width ….
but it do allow us without tilt but shift to max on both left-right/top-bottom…..
As previous discussion, Reverse GND or RGND is a filter very important for sunrise/sunset/dusk/dawn moment… I am officially bringing in another RGND brand 84dot5mm ….
again let me share some new picture showing how;s the filter balance the exposure
-without Filter and meter on foreground. so the dusk moment sky is over exp
-without Filter and meter on sky. and now the foreground is under expose
– apply RGND 2 stops … without any HDR, exposure blending, shadow highlight recovery . both foreground and sky with right exposure and details now

Sample of RGND filter for balance the exposures

picture on top without any filter … and bottom with RGND show better sky exposure
without any filter
update 2015 Aug 30
1. RGND 2 stops 2. HAIDA CPL 100×100 3. HADAI ND 0.9 | ISO 200 | 1.0 sec at f / 16 | 18 mm
when we have option, we tend to choose from which is better … better in term of? It come to my mind too , which one to pick and why …. while my Photohunter Tour 2015 Bali , I managed to have both camera with me and have a quick test … but the test as usual a basic test on common interest … more details ? site effect ?
both camera
– ISO100,200,400,800,1600,3200 (also have higher test)
– F16
– MF on the front boat (100% crop picture)
– 2s timer shooting
– M mode
– Auto WB
– CANON EF 24-70 F2.8 II len use
– ACR save pictures , Highlight -21, Shadow 11, Clarity +30 ONLY , Vibrance +10, Saturation +5, no noise reduction, no sharpen
Both camera give much more details compare to previous CANON EOS 5dm3 and it make big different among these 2 cameras (may be you can look at the full size of JPEG for further comment). but 5Dsr just give slight more extra details, contrast but where we almost not noticeable . and not much Moire effect appear over few days testing. may be in future if I notice and will be posting here too
I did a quick and simple test on both new camera that come with big megapix … CANON 5Dsr and SONY A7r2 … both camera use the same len which is CANON EF TS-E 17mm F4 (SONY A7r2 with Viltrox Adapter) , same filter Lee Filter GND .4h and HAIDA 100mmx100mm CPL
we did not use same tripod but put both site by site so the view slight different by ~5 degree different …
both camera
– ISO100
– F13
– MF on the bridge end
– timer shooting
– M mode
– Auto WB
– ACR save pictures , contrast +5, Clarity +10 ONLY .. and no noise reduction

*** I do not share any higher than ISO1600 as we can see the quality have been drop since ISO800 … and I think I would limit my use ~1600 for important photo.
Overall , here are some different for me .. (for landscape photography concern)
1. 5Dsr weight ~845 gram vs ~625 gram
2. tilt screen on SONY A7r2
3. Battery life 5Dsr is longer but it is different size
4. both ISO performance about the same (without noise reduction) , 5Dsr have slight more noise and details over ISO800 and about same for under ISO800
5. Shadow and high recovery both perform same .. 100% shadow recovery show acceptable result .
6. SONY seem lost orange/red tone , give more cold color
7. both give good details , and at highlight area CANON give more info

– the shadow recovery seem to be working good even ~3-4 stops under .. and the picture show without any noise reduction except last picture with noise reduction “10” @ACR
– picture all open and process only at ACR 9.1
– from the almost total dark picture , the picture able to recover without many color noise, and with a lot of details on the object …

below are link for above setting and with vary ISO
5dm3 ISO100 | F165dsr ISO100 | F16
I pick few 100% and 200% on different location to compare the different between both picture
#1 200% crop on both pictures of ISO100 , the one with 5dsr still can see the monitor model but not the 5dm3
5dsr 200% crop
#2 180% crop on 5dsr on the RIGHT most RM10 ringgit note .. “BANK NEGARA” still able to be see but the 250% crop or even smaller crop cannot be see clearly with 5dm3 picture
*** I seldom use ISO6400 so I do not think I will share here but anyone want to to have a look may contact me .. ISO200 is as good as ISO 100 so I didnt share here too
another landscape outing but this time plan by my gang … a beautiful country with different beautiful views … but this round we just concentrate on a Paddy field .
