Title: Filters
Post by: catwithboost on May 15, 2009, 04:47:42 PM: Ok leaving in the morning for S. Carolina for a week. I am taking my digi camera and never played with the filter. Can someone give me run down on what they are good for.
SunPak
UV
Polarized
Those are the 3 I have.

i leave a polarizing filter on my camera all the time. somebody told me it was a good idea to do that once... :dunno:

The only 2 filters I have are a polarizing filter and a neutral density ND filter. I have UV filters but don't use them. Just crappy glass to shoot through with your expensive lens.
