those that say ''Oh this is waste of money waste of time, I can do all this in postproduction. . bla bla bla. . . '', well, if ur doin it for money and it becomes a business, hence, time is money, by reducing the amount of time u need for postproduction means u save money. And with such filters it makes ur work more efficient and effective.

@thatnikonguy But for that would be NDs only?
I was refering to any effect filters and white ballance correction filters as useless :) - which is unfortunate since that are the ones You showed in this video.

@thatnikonguy you know you can lock the exposure

@universusxxx Yes - most everything can be achieved in post production - in film and digital techniques. And yes filters restrict light, and yes photography is all about capturing light. It is also, just as importantly, about restricting light. You DSLR camera has a limited dynamic range - you cannot get all the highlights and shadows in many shots - in those cases, using a targeted filter to correct it, can help you retain detail that you would otherwise have lost. WIthout that detail - no PS!

@thatnikonguy You asking me :) ?
Everything showed in this video can be achieved in postproduction. Picture is digital from the beginning and these filters are legacy of times when it wasn't and there wasn't any other way.
Filters restrict light, even plain UV in most cases screws pictures, not helps, try yourself.

@leasaunce I suggest you go to an authorised reseller, epithet in store or online. That is true for any gear, the manufacturer website should have a list of distributors.

@Fisheyland screw on is fine for many situations, just not as flexible, eg if you want to shift where the transition point is in the scene, its easy with these slide in style
Can you use the cokin circular polariser filter and an ND grad filter at the same time in their Wide-Angle slim "P" Filter holder?

@APBriggs2009 not sure about that holder - in mine you can fit the Circ, plus two other filters.

Thanks for the information. I think I am going to check out Cokin for graduated and regular neutral density filters. They sound ideal for my needs.
