What filters should I buy for my DSLR lenses?
This question is the most common question asked these days. It becomes a little difficult answering this question as it will largely depend upon the type of photography that you do, the type of lenses that you have and your budget.
Most commonly used filters are Protection filter and Polarizing filter. However, there are few others to so let’s discuss
Protect Filter:
This neutral filter protects your valuable lens while maintaining perfect color balance. Its Super Spectra Coating prevents harmful light reflections. It can be used for general shooting.
Canon Protect Filter: 52mm, 58mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm & 82mm
UV Filters:
The main reason that someone would buy UV filters is for lens protection and for keeping salt spray, dust and grime off the front of your lens.
Those still using film cameras will find UV filters handy also for cutting back the ultraviolet light. However most digital cameras have the ability to cut down UV and Infrared light.
Polarizing Filter:
If your camera doesn’t have an inbuilt ability to use filter, then one should consider buying a polarizing filter as it will bring the “WOW” factor in your photography.
Polarizing filters suppress light reflecting off glass and water and intensify the blues in skies. These filters are easy to use because they do not interfere with autofocus or light metering. In addition, they can be fitted with a lens cap to protect against scratches that adversely affect performance.
Circular Polarizing Filters: 52mm, 58mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm & 82mm
Neutral Density Filters:
The problem one will face on a bright sunny day while shooting with large aperture to get a beautiful background blur is that it can lead to over exposed shots.
The solution is a Neutral Density Filter which cuts down the light getting into your camera which can be bought at different levels (i.e. 1 stop, 2 stops, 3 stops etc).
These filters are invaluable for large aperture and slow shutter speed photography.
Canon ND4X-L. 8X-L: 52mm, 58mm & 72mm.
Conclusion:
The filter can be a square or oblong shape mounted in a holder accessory, or, more commonly, a glass or plastic disk with a metal or plastic ring frame, which can be screwed in front of or clipped onto the lens.
Filters modify the images recorded. Sometimes they are used to make only subtle changes to images; other times the image would simply not be possible without them.
