Thanks for this! I think the usage of it for portraits is REALLY underrated. One thing that a lot of people use is small flashes for fill light in portraits. But smaller pop of light often looks a bit harsh and I think using a CPL can really help take some of that off. I'm starting to think it's a "must have" for everything. Sure you lose 1-1.5 stops of light but so many cameras now have in-body stabilization that I think more than makes up for the loss when using a CPL.

Yes, since I leave in Hawaii I mostly shoot in a bright sunny days so I don’t really care about loss of light, but CPL and Mist filters both 99% of the time on my lens.
And people don’t know that Cpl also helps with greens and skin tones, which is really helpful

[@BodyYogaLife]

Could you please assist me in recommending filters for the Sony A6500 camera?

[@nikitamiroshnikov]

It depends not on the camera, but on the lens you are planning to use. You have to check lens diameter (like 67 or 72 or 77 mm or others) and get the filter with the correct size to crew-on the filter on your lens. Brands I used and love them: Nisi, Tiffen, Lee Filters, B+W

[@romakelkar9561]

Would you recommend this on fujifilm lenses?

[@nikitamiroshnikov]

Of course. Any lenses if you need to shoot through reflective surfaces, in a forest, cars, landscapes, portraits etc

[@jasonzachariah9806]
