I strongly recommend buying a polarizing filter. This type of filter allows you to remove static light rays and gives a sparkle to your photos that you can not reproduce in post-processing.
This filter can also be very useful in museums or exhibitions because it literally removes all reflections of glass or reflective surfaces. It also removes all the reflections at the water surface. That's impressive.
However, use of such a filter requires some knowledge as follows:
- Always be placed perpendicular to the sun, that is, it must be on your right or your left, never in front;
- Eventually, having the sun in the back can also give good results;
- Avoid photos when the sun is high, the filter effect will be less obvious;
- The filter is rotated, turn it in one direction or the other to control the rendering in the viewfinder of your case;
- The simultaneous use of this filter and your lens hoods are not compatible because it will prevent you from setting your polarizing filter. Then check that no reflection or unwanted reflection will occur at the filter surface ...;
- The use of this filter can lose 0.5 to 1 EV. However, your case will compensate with a larger aperture, longer exposure times or a higher ISO instead, depending on the mode in which your box works ... You do not normally have to operate on the exposure compensation.
The filter can remain in place on your goal and you can put the lens cap on top. However, the thread is too thick and the cover is holding a little worse.
ATTENTION, this is a circular polarizing. You should not use it with a film camera. Conversely, if you already have a polarizing film for, it will not be compatible with your digital box ... Use a polarizing film on a digital box will cause a visible frame on each picture ...
This is a very good filter, delivered on time by Amazon. I recommend it to all reflex possessor wishes to give a little more pep in his photos. This is in my opinion a clear buy ...
