What are the different types of lens filters?

Lens filters come in several types, each serving a unique purpose. The most common types are UV filters, used primarily for lens protection against dust, moisture, and scratches; Neutral Density (ND) filters, which reduce the amount of light entering the lens to enable longer exposures; and Polarized or CPL filters, which reduce glare and enhance color saturation.

Color correction filters are used for adjusting white balance in film photography, while Gradient filters create a smooth transition from one color to another. Infrared filters block visible light and only allow infrared and near-infrared waves to pass through, producing a unique effect in black and white photography.

Our selection of protection lens filters covers everything from UV filters, polarising lens filters and ND filters to GoPro lens filters for diving. We have lens filters from ProMaster, Canon, Sigma, Olympus, Hoya and a range of other prominent brands. Just be sure to pick the right size filter for your camera lens.

What are the benefits of using a lens filter?

Lens filters can enhance the final image in a variety of ways. UV filters provide a barrier against potential lens damage, while ND filters allow photographers to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions. Polarized filters help cut through glare, particularly useful in landscape photography where you want to capture the deep blues of the sky or the clarity of a tranquil lake.

Gradient and color correction filters offer ways to manipulate colors in-camera, creating unique effects or correcting color casts in certain lighting conditions. Moreover, infrared filters open up an entirely different spectrum of light, producing surreal and dramatic effects in your photos.

What are the drawbacks of using a lens filter?

While lens filters provide numerous advantages, they do have some drawbacks. Lower quality filters may negatively impact image quality by introducing color casts, reducing sharpness, or causing additional lens flare. Certain filters like ND and CPL can also reduce the amount of light that reaches the sensor, necessitating adjustments to shutter speed or ISO.

How do I clean my lens filters?

Cleaning lens filters is similar to cleaning a camera lens. Using a soft, lint-free cloth is generally sufficient for removing dust and smudges. For more stubborn grime, a special lens cleaning solution can be used. It's important to handle filters carefully to avoid scratches that can affect image quality.

Are expensive lens filters worth it?

The price of lens filters can vary significantly, often reflecting the quality of the materials used and the precision of the manufacturing process. High-end filters typically offer better optical quality and durability, which can lead to superior image results and longer product life. However, even budget filters can serve well for protection and basic effects. Your choice should ultimately reflect your needs, preferences, and budget.
