rnl Posted February 4, 2018 Share #2 Posted February 4, 2018 ND...Lee and NISI filters. I purchased an adapter for my 35mm fle. These are the filters I use on my Canon to blur motion 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatihayoglu Posted February 4, 2018 Share #3 Posted February 4, 2018 Do you use filters with your digital Leica or rely on Lightroom or Photoshop to adjust your images? If you do use filters, what type? I do use variable ND (16 stop) and circular polarizer. I bought step up rings to match the filter for the lenses. Since I don't have PS and don't know how you use it, I have to rely on my filters. Also doing more with the camera is better for me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsuitus Posted February 4, 2018 Share #4 Posted February 4, 2018 How does this thread differ from the other filter thread you posted yesterday?

willemr Posted February 4, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 4, 2018 I got a couple of ND filters for my 50 and 28mm lenses (3 stops). Just to be able to shoot wide-open on sunny days. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pico Posted February 4, 2018 Share #6 Posted February 4, 2018 Narsuitus has listed all that I find useful, polarizer in particular because there is no way to replicate it in post processing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeicaR10 Posted February 4, 2018 Share #7 Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Tragg, IMO, I found the filters made by Breakthrough Photography to be the most color neutral of the many ND filters that I have used over the last 4 decades. I use the X4 ND filters both solid and ND graduated filters. These filters for my type of work are superb. In particular, I like their new 100 X 150mm Reverse ND and ND soft and hard grads 2 & 3 stops, plus the 6 stop solid square work best for my landscape photography. The Breakthrough circular polarizers are excellent too.

albertknappmd Posted February 5, 2018 Share #8 Posted February 5, 2018 I use a B+W UV MRC filter on all lenses for defensive purposes. Alternative is a clear filter. Had had a few filters damaged over the year but better that than the front optic! Albert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narsuitus Posted February 6, 2018 Share #10 Posted February 6, 2018 There are two photographic groups or camps – those who routinely use a filter to protect the front element of their lens and those who do not. I do not. However, when a colleague dropped her camera from a waist-level height, the filter shown here did not survive the fall on concrete; her camera and lens did.
