Simplicity: The system is easy and quick to set up and use on location and/or during a shoot.Durability: Filter is resistant to inevitable dings and knocks.Vignetting: A quality filter does not amplify vignetting from a lens.Color Shift: Should be non-existent or at minimum predictable results.Here are some other features to look for in deciding which ND filter is best for you: If your 16mm lens is wider than what the filter can cover, then you will see vignetting and/or the filter holder in the final image. You want to have a filter that will ultimately cover the range of your widest focal length: The most important thing to determine is your field of view. The size of filter and corresponding adapters you decide on will depend on a number of factors. The light transmission chart below illustrates what parts of the color spectrum that are blocked by the filter and what colors pass through.įield of View - How to Determine the Right Size Filter:Ĭokin square filters are manufactured in three sizes. The effect can be dramatic or subtle depending on how strong the light source is and how much atmospheric haze is in the air.Īs the light passes through the filter it selectively blocks specific areas of the light spectrum that most commonly cause that orange/yellow color spike. The filter targets specific wavelengths of light emitted by common Sodium and Mercury-vapor street lamps and blocks a portion of the orange/yellow glow as it passes through the filter. Filter also enhances sunsets and fall colors without effecting cool colors.Reduce editing time with a "cleaner" RAW File.Capture more accurate color at time of exposure.Reduces the orange/yellow haze from night sky caused by city lights.Great for Astro and Milky Way Photography.
