I just impulse bought someone's filter stack for 15 bucks.How did I do?A lot of these seem memey but I can for sure use the ND filters for that priceAre any of the rest useful in any meaningful way[EXIF data available.

>>4384719dunno, try shooting with them into bright lights and see how good/bad the coatings are
>>4384720didn't bring a camera with me unfortunatelyHolding them to my phone looked fine but the ir focus fucks with itThe fog filter is neat for macro shit, white objects have a glow around them
>>4384719Mostly meme effects. The +4, ND could be genuinely useful and at least they are Hoya and B+W
Those red filters would be great when shooting some monochrome film
>>4384726Yeah I bought them because Hoya idk. I want to try the polarizing filter out on some water but I think it will be insanely useful for shooting electronics since I can dim the screens by rotating the polarity
>ToshibaWait what?
>>4384719You did not bad. You got at least $400 worth of filters for 15 bucks. That said, only 3 of them are useful for digital. The most useful filters are probably the Skybolt polarizing filter (to get rid of reflections) and the ND filters. The +4 filter is good for super macro photos. But in reality a +2 is more useful for general purpose to get a little bit closer to subjects. +4 = super macro. The fog / diffuser / star eight / CS filters are sometimes ok as effects filters. More often these filters are used by pro video shooters rather than photographers.The rest of the filters are pretty much for shooting on film. With the red filters being used for black and white film photography, which produces a really good in camera look. Personally these all are a waste of money as the only filters that interest me are 77mm or 82mm filters. If you buy smaller filters you always end up having to buy more and more filters every time you get a larger diameter lens. It's much better to just get one larger diameter filter then adapt it to all your lenses.
>>4387053>It's much better to just get one larger diameter filter then adapt it to all your lensesOnly fags use these
>>4387068Yes, so what's the better option than having to buy the same filter for 5 different filter thread sizes?
>>4387113Well i dont shoot nikon shit so all my lenses have a 67mm filter thread lol
>>4387113Not being poor lol
>>4387113Yoy could do what I did and build a lens lineup around 1-2 filter thread sizes. I use 52mm for film and 77mm for digital. It was a fun challenge and it cuts way down on the filters I need, especially when shooting black and white
>>4387141This. I did the big filter and step up ring setup but hated it. Just get the filters you want for each lens. If you buy lenses in a series, they usually have the same filter sizes but I don't have that kind of forward planning.
>>4387113Sony FE leans towards 67mmCanon RF leans towards 82mm and 77mm, with 77mm lenses hoods being designed to fit 82mm rings and make it easy to adjust themNikon is fucking retarded
>>4387116yeah yeah gr8 b8 m8
