[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 631492, member: 13090"] In reality the best way to make sure you don't miss any shot that comes your way is to be prepared ahead of time. Just as important, IMO, is is a thorough understanding the exposure triangle, how to read and interpret the cameras histogram and knowing how to adjust your camera settings backwards and forwards. That means being able to adjust settings for the best capture you can get without undue fumbling or reaching into your bag to begin with. That and a basic understanding of what makes for good composition. It's this sort of boring, mundane knowledge that will elevate your shooting from snapshots to "Wow!" shots; more so by far than any filter or kit you can put in your bag. I'd highly suggest you to pick up a copy of Brian Peterson's [url=https://www.amazon.com/Understanding-Exposure-Fourth-Photographs-Camera/dp/1607748509/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501094749&sr=8-1]Understanding Exposure[/url] and Roberto Valenzuela's [url=https://www.amazon.com/Picture-Perfect-Practice-Self-Training-World-Class/dp/0321803531/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501094001&sr=8-1]Picture Perfect Practice[/url] before spending money on gear. Read them and heed them. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] In my opinion, if you don't know what filter(s) you need, you don't need any filters. If you'd like one to protect the front element of your lens look for a Hoya HD Protector. They run about $45 or so for a 67mm. [/QUOTE]
