Kit Cokin
Choosing a Filter. (HELP)?
I have recently got a Nikon D60. I am looking into getting a filter but can not decide what sort to go for. I have looked at the Cokin Square filters and Hoya Round filters. Can’t decide which to get. Also this is my first DSLR.
Any info will be appreciated.
Thanks
EDIT: I am using the 18-55mm Kit lens.
I suggest buying 2 filters:
1) A UV/Haze filter to protect the front element of your lens. I own lenses that are well past 30 years old and their front elements are still perfect.
2) A circular polarizer. A polarizer darkens a blue sky and removes glare/reflections from glass, water, snow, sand and painted metal – but not polished metal. It also enhances colors.
Do NOT waste your money (and risk image quality) buying cheap, no-name filters. Choose from Heliopan, Hoya, B+W, Tiffen, Singh-Ray.
I suggest buying your filters in a “thin” or “slim” mount to avoid any possibility of vignetting (dark corners on your image) when using the 18mm (wide angle) end of your zoom.
Personal Opinion: I’m not a big fan of using step-up rings (these are sized to allow using a 72mm diameter filter on a lens requiring a 55mm diameter filter and shown as 55-72mm). Although it costs more I prefer that each lens have its own polarizer if more than one size is needed. If you use step-up rings and leave them on the lens then you can’t use the lens hood for that lens. If you take them off its one more thing to carry with you or forget and not have when needed. Then there’s the chance of physically damaging the step-up ring.
