Re: Double Circular Polarizers for UV photography?

["Rolland Elliott" <rolland_elliott@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

>>>I have
heard of making a "fluorescent groundglass" ... installing such a device in 
the
camera allows you to see the UV scene with an 18A over the lens. I have done
this myself but the limitation I have run into is that the fluorescence is 
very
dim and the image hard to see. This technique was described many, many years
ago in Technical Photography magazine or a similar one.>>>>

Andy I tried this myself too and destroyed a perfectly good & expensive,  
Nikon groundglass with fluorescent ink.  My observations were similar: the 
image was almost impossible to see.

It sounded good in theory, but in real life this is a bad idea.

Peace Rolland
