I'm looking into getting the 10-24mm mark ii version with weather sealing since I've always had my eye on that one and it's easier to get filters for it than say the 8-16mm which is just a bit too expensive for my tastes. Anyways enough waffling about, thanks for making these amazing videos, it really helps being a Fujifilm user like myself to know you can get amazing quality out of these amazing little crop sensor cameras.

I'm also slower with the videos than usual...the situation can occasionally make it hard to find motivation, but like I said, hopefully the lens review will be up in 2 weeks and I've already started writing notes on the video I've got planned for after that.

Andy, incredible video. I'm finally stepping up from my XT3 into a GFX 100S to get into that medium format digital after shooting it on film for a while. Your photos have always stood out to me and I've wondered where some of that magic comes from, I use CPL filters but haven't messed around with neutral density that much, however shooting a lot more water scenes lately I've noticed that in daylight they are hard to capture sometimes even stopped All the way down. I'm used to the graduated ND filters, but of course they make full ND filters as well. Just another one of those things that I never really considered and now have way more knowledge on.

Brilliant filter breakdown. I think the key with filters - other than learning when and how to use them - is to buy quality and then really look after them. It can be hard to justify spending £100+ on a single filter but in most cases it's worthwhile, so long as you stick with the big brands. My old LEE85 kit cost me a small fortune but it's been everywhere with me and is still used to this day; and that's despite the plastic (or 'resin') filters. Also, word of warning...don't be fooled by the gimmicky marketing strategies of companies like URTH. It's awfully nice of them to plant a tree for every filter purchased but, sorry... your filters are garbage. Good filters don't always have to be expensive so I'd definitely advise shopping around. I just bought the Tiffen Skyline PRO100 Series kit on Amazon UK for just 60 quid. Most other stores, including Tiffen's, are selling it for 420. I can only guess Amazon have made a mistake or are getting rid of old stock. It's quite a specific kit but the quality is second to none. Quick, just 2 left!

another tip for not getting vignette on wide lenses when using filters is get a step up ring bigger than your lens filter diameter. For example, if your lens has 67mm filter diameter, get a filter 72mm fnd filter and pair it with a 67-72mm step up ring.b

It's a nice tip, and I do that as my filters are all 77mm and my widest lens is 72mm, but beyond a certain focal length (around 16mm full frame) the field of view is so wide that you'll always get vignetting if you stack filters unless you use filters that are considerable larger than your lens

Absolutely amazing video as always Andy! Very pedagogical (coming from a teacher)! I do agree with the bracketing which gives probably a better result most of the time nonetheless I do think that the Nisi switch can be useful in some bad light conditions (with 2 GND). That is just my humble point of view! Of course it can be nice as well to have something usable in one shot especially when clouds are moving very fast to avoid Shadowing with bracketing (even if software do a pretty good job). Regarding the circular filters I do agree with the ND16 and ND1000 but sadly ND16 is quite difficult to find in circular. ND8 will be easier but less effective - polarpro will maybe be expensive for the new beginners. Maybe Newb should go with a ND64 if they just buy one : what do you think? For me, I like the option to be able to stack filters. I like the Nisi Switch system which make that I have a ND16 square (they don't make the circular one) and have the new circular ND1000 86mm for my 100mm switch. Cheers and as I already commented on other platforms: congratulations on your beautiful work!

Thank you, very instructive especially for novices like me. You didn't mention filters for black and white, maybe a short knock on video or don't you ever do any B&W? Some "experts" will say don't bother do it all in PhotoShop/lightroom. But beginners like me will gulp hearing that as I've always been overwhelmed by Photoshop, and I have no intentino of paying so when I do plung into learning post-processing properly, I'll be seeking open source solutions like DarkTable and others. I'm no pro, and in this hobby I'll spend moderately on kit and travel to enjoy taking photos, NOT on subscriptions to already filthy rich corporates Yes I have a long way to go, but frankly I think I'd still like to filter properly when generating the source. Thoughts?

I don't really shoot black and white, so it's not something I think about. Not sure what you mean about doing everything in post processing. You can't replicate long exposures or polarisation in post, so that has to be done in camera. I believe you can easily replicate black and white filters in lightroom with the click of a button, but I don't do black and white so I really can't say. That leaves neutral density filters, which to be honest, gives you worse results if you try to do it all in camera. First of all, you can have brilliant lenses, but how good they are is going to be determined by the filter you put on the front. There's image degradation from having cheap glass infront of your expensive lens, the fact that any imperfection in the filter (ND filters made of resin chip easily) will significantly increase the flare from direct light, and the fact that every graduated filter introduces vignetting in the corners. But the biggest negative against ND grads is that if you're shooting anything where part of the landscape crosses the horizon where you have the graduated line of the filter (a mountain, a sea stack...basically any situation where the horizon isn't totally flat) and that element is going to be darkened down by the filter too. This takes far more effort to correct in post processing, and decreases image quality far more than shooting the scene with exposure bracketed images and then merging into one file with all the dynamic range in post (it's literally one click).

A very helpful video indeed. I wonder if using 2x72mm filters plus a step up ring will cause vignetting. Just a tad wouldn't be an issue I guess but I wonder if it will be "disastrous"-like.
@AndyMumford

Thanks for the comment. It depends on the focal length really. At 10mm with two 77mm filters and a step up from 72mm (the diameter of my wide angle lens) I get vignetting that can be removed by zooming out to around 11 or 12mm. So now, I don't think it would be disastrous :-)

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. Honestly, most of the time I don't process first in Capture One, although it will probably give you better results. But by process, I don't mean edit them at all, just import them to get the C1 RAW conversion, then export as a TIFF into LR. I never do any work at all on photos before they are merged.

Would liked to have heard more information about linear verses circular (CR) polarizing (PL) filters. I have recently gotten back into photography after years of being away. In the good old days, I had a Minolta 35mm SLR film camera and owned 2 polarizing filters. As I had learned in my science labs, if one puts two polarizing filters together (off the camera) and turns one at 90 degrees to the polarizing plane of the other, it will totally eliminate the light coming through the filters. I assume that those were linear filters as I cannot get 2 CR PL filters to do this. As a practical matter, today with a CR PL filter on my Mirror-less DSLR camera, I cannot seem to get the blue sky to darken (and the clouds to stand out in contrast) as I had done in the (and had no problem doing) in the good old days. I have bought 2 linear PL filters and have partially tested them. They will, in fact, stop all light throughput if put together (off camera) and turned at 90 degrees to each other with respect to the polarizing plane of each. I also believe (perhaps subjectively at this point in time as more testing is needed), that 1 of these linear PL filters will do a better job of darkening a blue sky and contrasting the white clouds as I remember (from the good old days). Therefore, I am leaning towards using a linear PL filter on my DSLR instead of a polarizing filter. Another point: I was told in a response to my comment on a "Camera Club Live" video regarding using a PL filter that, "You will only see a significant darkening of the sky with any type of polarizing filter if the sun is directly behind you". That would mean that I should be standing (pointing my camera) at 180 degrees from the position of the sun. You have said that a PL filter will work once one points the camera at 90 degrees to the sun. So, I find this to be very confusing - is it 90 degrees to see the effects, which I have tried with a CR PL filter and saw no effect, or do I have to be close to 180 degrees (with the sun behind me) to see the desired effect with a CR PL filter? A second thing I was told in the above response to my comment was, "The main disadvantage of (a) linear polarizing filter is that it may adversely affect the functioning of the metering and focusing systems of some cameras." If my current linear filter proves to work better than the CR PL filter, I am willing to live with this possible side effect, especially with landscape photography. Why? Let's face facts. With today's cameras, getting a "bad" photo does not mean that I have wasted part of my roll of (somewhat expensive) 35mm film. At the very worse, I have just taken up a fraction more space on my 256 GB memory card. If I preview the photo and do not like it, I can adjust the camera settings (on manual if needed) and re-photograph the scene as many times as needed until I am happy with the results. It is true that I cannot do this in a situation where there is only a moment to capture the photo of a lifetime. If that happened, I then might consider returning to a CR PL filter. However, the advice I got from "Camera Club Live" is that the linear PL filter may only adversely affect the functioning of the metering and focusing systems of SOME cameras. If, after more testing, I find that my camera is not negatively affected, then I fully expect that I will stay with the linear PL filter which (I currently think) does a better job of polarizing the incoming light. I certainly do not consider myself an expert in photography. So, if you (Andy) or your other viewers would like to provide advice regarding these two types of polarizing filters, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thank you (one and all) for reading this long comment of mine.

Amazing Video, Clear and concise! I'm thinking about buying the kase filters I saw in another video of yours with a step-up ring, but I'm wondering how my pictures would be affected if I can't use any of the lens hoods? How much flaring/low contrast do you get? Worst case scenario I screw on the step-up filters when I need to use them but it would kinda defeat the purpose of the magnetic quick swap filters, right? Thank you!

I never use lens hoods…pretty much all mine are in the box. For wide angle lenses and mid range zooms they are pretty much useless as they are so small, and while they can be useful with telephotos, you can easily shade the lens with your hand on the few occasions you might need one.

Thanks for the comment. I've never done a direct comparison but my feeling is that bracketed images are better quality. With an ND grad it's an extra piece of plastic infront of the lens, and any buy of dust of mark on that affect image quality, as well as increasing the risk of colour casts and darkening in the corners etc.

@@AndyMumford Oh, I wasn't referring to a graduated ND filter. Like, what I do is I take multiple shots on a tripod like the way one would do a time lapse. Take the photos into affinity photo (one could do it in photoshop as well) and use the average or median function to blend the images giving it a long exposure like effect. So, for instance, if I take 10 shots at 0.1 sec each, in my mind I have a 1 sec exposure equivalent.

I like the Polarpro and my largest diameter lens is the 16-55/2.8 at 77mm but can’t decide between the 77mm and the 82mm. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on the size.
