Shark eyes and step-up ring question

["Jon Witsell" <wfc27@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Can't explain the difference either... but I just purchased a Sony TRV8 
camcorder and with the digital effect "Negative Art" and the IR "Nightshot" 
function turned on, I shot some pretty demonic footage of myself. Not only 
did my eyes glow, but so did the inside of my nose and mouth--and my goatee 
and eyebrows! Very strange indeed.

Question: I got this camcorder partly to use as a IR preview device so I 
would like to attach my 52mm 87c filter to it. However, the camera's filter 
ring is 30mm and I haven't been able to find a 30mm to 52mm step-up ring. I 
would use two rings if necessary.

Any suggestions?

Jon
