Different Kinds of Filters

What do you need in a filter for photography and video? There are a few different varieties available, which we help define below.

• Polarizing: Available in both round screw-on type and square or round drop-in type, linear polarizing and circular polarizing filters help darken skies, manage reflections, and suppress glare from water surfaces.
• Neutral Density: Available in both round screw-on type and square or round drop-in type, ND filters reduce the amount of light entering your lens. This allows you to do things like shoot at slow shutters speeds in bright light to get smooth waterfalls.
• Hot Mirror: Available as square drop-ins, hot mirror filters allow visible light to pass through the lens while reflecting infrared light back to the source. These filters help protect color fidelity in certain situations and can be helpful when photographing or filming fire.
• Pro-Mist: Available as square drop-ins, pro-mist filters create a pastel-like effect that acts as a kind of diffuser for smoother skin and decreased contrast.
