Camera Nikon Filters
| Powered by phpBay Pro |
What is a good brand of filter for Nikon lenses? What types of common filters do most photographers need?
Is Hoya a good brand? Do grey market filters exist just like grey market cameras and lenses? And if it does exist, is it better to stick with the USA brand? Thanks in advance for any advice.
Most filter effects can be added by software later. These days I would not bother with any sort of coloured filter.
The only two I find I am using in the field for landscape photography are a Circular Polarized and a Graduated Neutral Density Filter.
I do not use a UV filter to 'protect' the front of the lens, instead I take care with my gear. I believe that any extra element placed over the lens must introduce some type of distortion no matter how small.
The Circular Polarized filter should be a standard part of any photographer's kit. Hoya is a good brand but they have different levels. The "Super Quality" ones are better although more expensive.
Graduated Neutral Density filters are a different creature. The only ones usable are a style like the Cokin system where there is an adapter and then a square filter that can slide through the mount and thus be adjusted. This involves some initial expense setting up as you will need adapters for each different lens diameter that you have. It is the only system that works satisfactorily in my view however.
