@HatroVille Those filters are for SLR cameras, not DSLR.

@jetblackdovemusic If someone interested in my review, search for " Sony a560 with Graduated Goja P-series filters and others. " . My videos under SergSpace name. They mostly are samples of how camera behave on practice with different color and graduated filters.

@surferboy36O Okay thx

[surferboy36O]

@incben I'm not sure I understand your question. Colour filters can be used in digital and film, colour or black and white. There are several types of colour filters for different purposes: colour correction, colour balance, contrast modifiers (dif. types for col. or b&w), just for coloruing, coloured polarizers and others.

[surferboy36O]

@JerseyShore117 Yes, but I would recommend to put the polarizer under the UV, to protect it, cause it's more expensive and easier to scratch. If you have too much reflections against backlight, use just one, or none. But try to always use at least one to protect the lens.

[surferboy36O]

@sjphs Actually you learn much more and better with film, cause you learn "the hard way", and in the old days they really taught the important stuff, stuff that nowadays nobody cares about or even remember. If you learn that you're gonna have a much better understanding about how light/photography works, and digital is gonna be an easy adaptation, whereas the other way round is much harder. I have seen it!

I like effects filters... but just to colorize i rather keep using PhotoShop lol.
