What's the best one you've used? and the worst?What's the minimum amount to spend, and when would you be spending too much?How much of an improvement did you see in your photography when you started using one? Did you get better results, subjectively speaking?Picrel is the uber-shiny ultra D-LUX filter from Hoya and I don't know if I need it. I know I need one of these filters, though. My landscapes have very hazy skies and are overall somewhat low-contrast.
>>4508426Hoya have been the best filters I've used, but I hear good things about Tiffen too. The only two filters I ever use are ND and Polarising, but I want to add a Mist filter at some point. What pisses me off is that my favorite lens has a 82mm filter thread and that shit is expensive.
>>4508426Got 7 artisans nd 1000 and vnd 2-5 stops after watching some vnd comparisons on ytGot a fake hoya cpl that does the job in removing glare but build quality is shity.Also some hoya uv filter that i belive is fake also but i did some tests and could not find any image sharpness loss even at 800% pixel peeping
>>4508426the hoya cpls are nice.i shoot outdoors in the snow a lot
>>4508426I have K&F Concept, Platinum (Best Buy), Hoya, Polar ProBest I have is polar pro. Silky. No cross-fade or X patterns. I really want Polar Pro's new Split Diopter filter. I wanted one once I did research on Star Trek the Original Motion Picture and some of the split diopter stuff they did in the film. Really cool shots. K&F is my go-to because they're fairly cheap, but you can kind of feel its not as smooth to turn. I dont' really notice any X patterns from them.I don't have CPL's of Hoya but I love their 1B Skylight filters, I have multiple in different sizes.I bout some UV filters from Best buy. they're a filter. Then I bought 1 HGX Prime Promaster filter. Unfortunately a 44.5mm that fits a kit lens (the first one I bought ever with my first camera - i didn't know what I was doing). So overpriced. But it feels solid I guess.
