Filters


  • Skylight Filter-Protects front element from being damaged    
  • Image result for protection filter

  • Polarizing Filter-Reduce reflections and increase color saturation
  • Image result for Polarizing Filter
  • Neutral Density Filter-Allows for long shutter speed, wider aperatures
  • Image result for neutral density filter
  • Graduated Neutral Density Filter- different strengths of transitions between  light and dark areas of the filter, gives a more balanced exposure of a photo where one half is more exposed than the other
  • Image result for graduated neutral density filter
