I take it you don't use the hood. Is that correct? I really love this camera. I am going to probably order it tomorrow. I always order from B&H photo. I do quite a big business with them. They are excellent. I will also order that same B+W filter you have. I would be curious if you take the filter off if you see PF. I was also just reading that Fugi may release a firmware fix for this camera to correct PF. I don't know how true that is but it really doesn't matter for you. I will let you know how I make out when I get mine. It sounds like we shoot the same kind of stuff.
