Polarized And UV Filter

5.0

"UV mainly for protection against scratches. CPL filter helps a lot in bright outdoor shooting. Don't cheap out here, but don't go crazy either. Good filters can be had for less than $100. Again, depending on what you shoot, getting an ND filter or two would also help. If you have lenses that need multiple sized filters, get the largest filter and then get a step down adapter."
