Please compare Fujifilm GFX100 ii and hasselblad X2D 100C please 😊🥺🥺🥺😊😊
And thanks for making this type of informative and lovely content
I have the magnet ND set, and I love them. Thanks for making the video - you’ve helped me understand how to use them better. Now just wish K&F would expand the magnetic line to include some things like the diffusion filter.
What an amazing video not just for your channel, but I would imagine K&F gonna get some good sales from this!! well done brother. I honestly would've never bought a filter from these guys, but I'm kind of impressed.
Thanks Vic! 😉
This was nothing but a commercial.
The beginning of the video makes it pretty clear that this was sponsored. I said it, and it was on-screen and it's also listed in the metadata on UA-cam, if me posting 1 sponsored video among the 30 other non-sponsored videos I shared in the last month, feel free to unsubscribe.
James, Anthony declared the interest at the start. How many shows on TV do you watch and love that don’t? Gimme a break.
Facts! All his videos are now days. I feel like I can’t trust his opinion sometimes.
@@Boohooooo I shared 35 videos in November. That's 35 free videos that you didn't have to pay a cent to watch. 3 were sponsored. I'm not sure what videos you're watching, but they clearly aren't mine.
Ive been using a UV filter too and ive learned that in natrual to low light situations there is little to no change at all but when it comes to a bright sun or stadium lights it adds more glare and acctualy affects your photos
YES! This is an issue with pretty much any filter. An extra layer of glass has the potential to alter the flare resistance of your lens. It's not specific to UV filters.
love the vid very helpful!
☺️ glad you enjoyed it!
I haven't used a filter for almost two years. No big reason why, I think I just forgot. (I am so focused on improving my composition and nailing all of the technical exposure stuff that I forget to do other things sometimes.)
I will say, taking black and white photos of people with a red filter is one of my favorite things to do. On my Canon DSLR, there is an electronic red filter that I use a lot. (I even have a preset black and white with the red filter and the exposure knocked down a step or two. Everyone looks like they're on the cover of a Norwegian black metal album.) But there's no electronic equivalent for most filters.
Which red filter do you use, if you don’t mind me asking.
Excellent video, thank you for the extremely valuable content 🙌🙌
Never had a K&F filter, but they make super solid tripods. Gonna their filters.
Incredible value for the $$
Anthony, is it worth the upgrade from the Canon 700D to R8?
I really want to know your opinion😁
11:29 golden hour looks good
Haven't used a lens filter in 20 years of pro photography... 0 scratches on any lenses. I always use the lens hood that's included. Saves money, potentially improves IQ, and doesn't degrade IQ like filters.
Did you check out the sample photos I shared for the UV filter test?
In terms of protecting your camera lenses no the lenses are now nano coated. You don't need to put clear filters over them. The other thing they do is attract fungus because they create an air pocket between the filter and the front element of the lens so some of them are not particularly great at weather sealing either.....
Tell that to my scratched 24-70mm, I think it missed the memo on nano coatings 😂
@AnthonyGugliotta lens hood and lens caps 👌
I'm a professional landscape photographer in Australia and all of my GFX lenses are scratch free ...hood and lens caps a must!
I come up with a system also to keep my lens caps clean
@MrMartin246 agree CPL for images 100%
It would be great if you could do a comparison against the Helix Maglock system from PolarPro.
I bought a cheap set of lens filters after seeing your short about the Clear UV filter being additional protection for my lens, haven't taken it off since, and occasionally wipe it
Thanks for the tip
IDK if it's just the kit I bought or if it's like that, but the circular polarizer that came with it makes my subject blurred out and with a halo/light rays
Makes for creative pictures of object in light but bad for group photographs or portraits of people near windows or in front of stores
Probably gonna get a K&F set after I get a telephoto lens
I got the R50 at the start of the year as a birthday present to myself after watching videos about it like yours
Love the quick tip shorts you put out, they've made me think about my compositions more
Hmmm. Circular Polarizers shouldn't do that. Not sure what the problem is, but I've never been disappointed by the K&F ones I've tried! ☺️ Hope you're enjoying the R50!
@AnthonyGugliotta I love the R50, and my bosses and co-workers are happy with the pictures I take of them during our company events. Recently got an 18-150mm, cause I take a lot of group photos, but I've found myself needing more zoom than what my 18-45mm can offer, mostly for when I have to take a photo of a speaker on stage or someone accepting an award.
Pretty helpful!
When I started photography about a year ago, I was eager to find the best filter to protect my RF 70-200 and 85mm f/1.2 lenses. After purchasing filters from three top-tier brands, I can honestly say that UV filters are disappointing and do, in fact, reduce image quality.
One brand’s filter reduced sharpness, another didn’t affect sharpness but slightly altered the colors, and the third both reduced sharpness and altered colors. Frustrated, I sold all the filters and have since been using my lenses with just the hood for protection. I haven’t had a single scratch on the lenses and couldn’t be happier with my decision.
If you’re worried about damaging your lenses, consider skipping the filters and putting that money toward insurance-it’s only about $80 a year!
I only put a clear B+W 007 on the front if im in crazy scenarios (something like your helicopter) or high chance for getting something hitting the lens.
Better to be safe than sorry. I have a scratch on my 24-70mm that I regret because there was one time I didn't have a protection filter 😌
Early Gang 😄😄
I started thinking about lens filters protecting my camera lens when watching cooking videos. I started to wonder about the food/grease splatter on their lenses.
I decided to research filters then and for me I decided they are a good investment. If Zeiss, the creator of the famous lenses recommends filters to protect their camera lenses that is enough for me.
Now to pick quality.
How do you adjust the magnetic VND?
Hey anthony. I have about 800$ to spend on a mirrorless setup and my parents said they can support me a little bit. Do you recommend the canon r8 as my first mirrorless camera? Also what lens do you recommend for street and travel photography?
I’m also planning to shoot some video
Bro read my mind i was literally just looking for a cpl filter
I was a pola user when kid and then i wasn’t, now I kind of hate the color shift on the polas, I just use them to remove the glass reflections for specific shots, I really try to never use it but: ND’S of course we need them specially when they are Neutral Density that means that there is no color shift, if an ND color shifts your image then that ND is not a good ND, switch it!, and depending on the shot you will need some fx mist effect specially if you need to see the image more cinematic, for that the Black pro-mist series are ok but go light like 1/4 is fine and that is it.
Filters make reflections pop, if you are shooting cars or night shots, and you use filters you will see a lot of ghosts, and you don’t want ghosts, so the intelligent way of using filters is to know all the problems that come with them and use them just when you really need them
There is another interesting series of filters, when you have strong contrast you might use a low contrast filter and that way you will introduce lights on shadows, don’t over use it but some times is a great filter to have.
I haven't used a filter in my life
Because I started photography 1 year ago
Only with one lens and camera
Canon 400D that takes great pictures
Why don't you buy your first camera again and make a video on it😊
Today may be the best time to start 😉
It all really depnds. You get bad filters that will degrade your photo, A cheap filter (nd og cpl ) will give you the infamous X and give color cast :)
I think you are too close to your microphone when you were speaking in your studio. Getting some popping noise.
Good info
10k like he will buy me a camera
No chance
😂
Sponsored videos I hate them because you can’t tell if it’s legit or not.
first
Just so you know beforeIgo...I watched your videos all the time but the cover image on this video of you holding the lens filter in one hand and a knife in the other has made me rethink following you. I find this to be TOTALLY unnecessary for you to be holding the knife in this click bait ridiculous image. Whatever respect I had for you as a creator and photographer has gone. Unfollow, Unsubscribe, Don’t recommend this Channel and all of the above.!!!!!! Very disappointed!!!!
