Lens Filters for Photography | UV, ND, Circular Polarizers, Grad, Variable ND Filters

If you are new to photography, you will or will have UV filters pushed on you by sales people. Are they worth it? In this video, Michael talks about some of the basic different types of filters available for your lenses & which ones he uses, as well as for why.

Here are the products used in this video (and to confirm again, no I do not use UV filters.)

Looks like they are no longer making the one that I use, but a search for 1.2 Grad ND Glass filters will show a lot of options. Just havent used the other ones personally so Id prefer not to list here.
