Once upon a time, all photographers bought a new lens and then a set of filters with it. If a system used one size predominantly, that was wonderful and saved a fortune. I felt I needed: Skylight for high altitude. 81A for warming. Polariser for relections control and darkening blue skies. Orange...

I have a polariser, which I do use, and a couple of ND grads and NDs which rarely if ever get used. I never used filters before I got into digital photography :oops:.

Circular polariser, pretty much solely for dark blue skies, and ND filters for daytime long exposures. That's it!

I still use a polariser and ND filters. The polariser is reflection and the darking of skies. The ND for longer daytime exposure. But can't really see the orange, yellow, green, and red filters that I used for mono being dug out anymore.

I have followed your path almost to the letter, John. Now I have, and use, polariser for the blue skies and for reflection control. I would like to have a graduated ND filter for better landscapes. Everything else can be done in PSE.

I have a polariser - though I haven't had a chance to use it in the right conditions so far. A set of ND grads, and 'full ND' filters, seems to have been on my 'to buy' list almost since I bought my camera but something else always comes along.

Polariser for me, very frequently used, IR too, but very rarely, especially now with the K10D. I've got an ND grad which sees occasional use. Don't forget the polariser is good for so much more than just darkening blue skies, try it with foliage, even on a cloudy day - it can make colours so muc...

I have polarisers and ND Grads for digital but hardly ever use them. On my assorted film cameras I have a bare minimum of one yellow (Y1) filter for each lens for those times I shoot black and white film. I do have other contrast control filters in various sizes (orange, red, green) and lots of c...

I have polarisers, which I use quite often, ND Grads which I use ocasionally and an ND filter which I have used once. The polariser is great for skies and controlling reflections.

I have a polariser, which I spent most of my recent holiday in Gran Canaria kicking myself for forgetting to take with me, and an ND 4x for slow shutter speeds in bright conditions (waterfalls, beaches, that sort of thing).

ND to get smoky water and on a bright day allow wide aperture. So that's twice. Polariser near water. Use 20% of the time. Given up UV as a result of thread here. For film I tend to have yellow on more often than not.

I came into photography only a couple of years ago and apart from the usual UV filter that seems to come on any used lens I buy from Ebay (which get dumped straight in the bin) I have never used one. I did quite fancy one of those -10 stop ND things for water but have got so fed up with looking at o...

I do have some 52mm UV and Skylight filters that arrived on lenses that I've bought on Ebay in the past, which I never use. I did actually buy a 67mm UV filter in the hope that it might reduce the amount of purple/blue fringing generated by a XR Rikenon 300mm f4.5 APO lens at wider apertures - didn...

Often have the polariser on - and twist it into play or out depending, and rely on pushing ISO up to regain the light loss (if that makes sense!). On the occasions I take it off, I usually put a prtoctive glass filter on instead. Have several Grad NDs (to fit Cokin P holder) which most of the tim...

All of my lenses are covered with protection filters for regular daily use. In addition, I have a couple of polarisers and an ND8 with step-up rings (or is it step-down? I never know which is which... Bigger filter on smaller lens), to get that creamy water in bright day and a portrait with shallow ...

I was looking at getting a set of Hitech's 100mm ND grad filters for my Sigma 10-20. Will these be suitable for use on my Pentax lenses, or will the graduation be spread over too wide an area? I'm loathe to get two sets right at the start, so if I can't use the larger filters on my other lenses I mi...
