On the selection of filter for lens

Generally speaking, matching the lens filter depends on how you use it. If you like to play black and white, match several black and white special filters, such as red mirror, yellow mirror and yellow-green mirror. Yellow-green mirrors are suitable for portraits, yellow mirrors are suitable for outdoor portraits and landscapes, and red mirrors are suitable for simulating dramatic atmosphere, such as shooting night scenes and sunrise atmosphere during the day. There are also necessary filters, polarizers and grey mirror. These two belong to black and white color universal filters.

Special color filters mainly include blue, yellow, tobacco, purple, turquoise and other filters, as well as gradient or double gradient filters, which are mainly used to create special color effects.

Then there are two ways to increase or decrease the color temperature: orange and blue.

There is also a special effect mirror, such as soft focus, starlight and radiation mirror.

If the landlord wants to match, then polarizer and grey mirror are essential. Now most people don't play with black and white, so the landlord can match several colored ones. Personally, I think the soft focus lens and starlight lens in the special effects mirror are more fun. The landlord can try. But pay attention to the caliber of the lens. It's best to buy a special polarizer, which is the kind that is set in front of the lens like a UV mirror. Just buy the rest, that is, square ones, and that's all.

Now the price of filters is also very expensive. I have used the French high-strength filter, which is expensive, 200-3 10 yuan. If the landlord has rice, buy high quality rice. If not, it will also be made in China.
