UV photography

[Silvio Renesto <renesto@mailserver.unimi.it>]

Dear all,
        Thanks for the responses on enantiornithes.
Be patient, I have another question now: I would try to take UV photos of 
some specimens, but here we cannot afford such expensive UV dedicated 
lenses as, say,  the Micro Nikkor UV.
I have read that it is possible to take UV photos in an economical way 
using  an uncoated lens (like old pre WWII lenses) plus a "black UV 
transparent filter".I am rather a good photographer, but I never tried UV 
photography, thus I wonder if anyone used this method, is there some tip I 
should know? And,  does anyone know under which commercial names such UV 
transparent filters are traded (brand, specs)?
Thanks in advance, and if you feel that my query is uninteresting for other 
listmembers, please reply offlist at

Any help is greatly appreciated.
