Photography camera lens filter basics

ULTRA VIOLET (UV) LENS FILTERS

Best quality UV filters I’ve used are Carl Zeiss T* UV filters (different sizes): https://bhpho.to/2rGRiJB

CIRCULAR POLARIZING LENS FILTERS

For both polarizing filters and variable neutral density filters remember to get a filter large enough for the biggest lens you anticipate owning. 82mm is best but 77mm might be adequate depending on your system. You can then use step-up rings to use larger filters on your smaller lenses.

STEP UP RINGS

Step up rings are useful for using large circular polarizing and neutral density filters on smaller lenses.

Misc. sized Step-up rings: https://bhpho.to/2rGP5ht

When you’re buying a step up ring you’ll see the product listed as something like "67-77mm step up ring”. The first number is the size that ring will attached to a specific sized lens. So in this case the ring will attach to a lens with a 67mm filter thread. The second number is the size of filter that you can then attach to the ring (so in this case a 77mm filter can be attached to the ring).

You’ll need to by a different step up ring for the different size lenses you have.

Brass step up rings are better quality and more expensive, but I’ve found the aluminum ones work just fine.
