OT photographers - What filter should I buy?
Posted on 2/20/17 at 11:57 am

I have a $200 Best Buy gift card. Since there really isn't any lenses or major equipment in that price range, I figure I would buy a really nice filter (or two).
I am pretty naive when it comes to filters.
I need a 77mm filter.
Any suggestions?

Facebook filter, some of those girls take the best pictures, has to work great for some of the bait and switch I've seen

Totally depends on what type of photography you are doing. Video? Portraits? Action? Interior? Exterior?
No way anyone can answer this other than to offer that you can buy clear sacrificial filters for all your lenses strictly to protect your glass.

Be wary. Some filters can decrease your dynamic range.

Circular polarizer.
Get the best one they offer.

Does Best Buy even have a decent selection? Last time I looked it was pretty bottom line crap.

Neutral Density filters are cool, Circular polarizers come in handy as well

They don't have shite in store but on line, nearly any filter (or any camera accessory) is available.
I don't want a ND filter, that's kind of a one trick pony image. I want the most optimizing filter that helps with glares, UV, etc.

I wouldn't say ND filters are a one trick pony.
They can be used for long exposures in bright light but probably more importantly, for stopping down when shooting with a flash in daylight.
Check the best rated filters on BH Photo. I'm not sure BB will carry the top end pieces. You have to watch because cheap filters can cause things such as color casts.
