Finally installed the license plate on the F4i this weekend. Had to drill and mount the plate mount as the Hotbodies undertail doesn’t come precut for this so you can put the plate anywhere you like on there or not mount it under the tail at all.
JZ did all the work. It looks great. Started and finished yesterday, Sunday.
My Hoya circular polarizer arrived today. UPS put it in the US mail. The 67mm-to-77mm stepup ring arrived today, too.
The polarizer feels well made. It’s a little scary how exposed the glass surface is (it’s not set deep in its ring). But I’ll surely get used to it.
I’ve wanted a circular polarizer for my Nikon DSLRs forever. I even wanted one for my Olympus E-10. But this post from Jeffrey Friedl’s blog pushed me over the edge. The first pic (the table, pizza, glass of water) is all it took. Within about a week, I bought a Hoya 77mm Super Multi Coated Thin (no front threads) Circular Polarizer Filter from Amazon.com, fulfilled by Adorama, for about $85. Its price goes up and down. Right now (less than 12 hours later) it’s $115.95 so I bought it at a good point.
