Fujifilm S3 Pro UVIR filter comparison Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw conversion Auto-Leveled, slightly sharpened shot with Nikon 18-200/f3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR
With B+W 403 UV-pass[1] 1/2 sec @ f8	With Baader “Venus Filter” [2] 15 seconds @ f13
[1] Using the Nikon 18-200/f3.5-5.6 ED-IF AF-S VR. The image is most likely heavily polluted by infrared, though there is clearly some contribution from elsewhere in the spectral band (deep violet and long-wave ultraviolet perhaps). [2] The Venus Filter frame used a Nikon 35mm/f2.5 Series E with original lens coatings.
