Guide
to Useful and Essential Filters for Improving your Photography
In
30 years photography have found it essential to have a good assortment
of filters. We prefer glass filters from B+H or Heliopan, but resin
filters from Lee are good. I do not know who makes Sinar’s
filters (they usually OEM other products with their name, such as
their lenses which are actually Rodenstock lenses under the Sinar
nameplate).
Cokin, Hoya, Hitech, Rosco, Sinar, and Tiffen are a few of the international
brands. Lee Filters had a booth at Photokina ’02 and PhotoPlus
Expo also, so we know a bit more about this brand.
On a recent shoot in Guatemala out on location the sunset filters
from Lee made a tremendous difference. Turns out the Kodak ProBack
Plus digital back needed the filtration to get the sunset tones.
