I have found that the Marumi brand (found at ) is an easy to clean, not too expensive, multicoated brand with good IQ. Some filters are made of brass, which turns easier (smoother) than aluminum or other cheap metals, but that is more expensive.Īs far as brands, did a test of about two dozen filters, so check them out. I find Hoya hard to clean if you get a smudge on it. You want multicoated for digital since digital is more prone to flare than film was. Coated means that it is coated on one side. There are uncoated filters (Tiffen) which are more prone to flare, but are fairly easy to clean. There are some really cool shots of of the beach wave action slowed down a lot by using an ND filter so look into that if you are doing a lot of beach shots with a tripod. They are used to block a lot of light to the sensor so that you can use slow shutter speeds during the bright daylight to get silky water for waterfalls, etc. ND filters (neutral density are filters which block a certain amount of light (like 2 stop, 3 stop, or 8 stop). A CPL causes about a stop and a half loss of light, so using it is not free - you may have to bump ISO if you are shooting in moderate light. You can get the same effect in digital by using software.Ī CPL is a circular polarizing filter, used to cut down on glare, reflections off wet surfaces and to cut through hazy or smoggy air. You can count a UV filter as a clear filter for digital. UV blocks UV light, and was needed on film cameras. ![]()
