[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 91620, member: 6548"] Yes...Nikon L37C A very good old school photographer who owns a ton of Nikons and Nikkors once told me to use a skylight filter to impart a warm feel to my portraits. He also advised me to use a ND filter in order to be able to open up wider in daylight. That was really good advice. I do not have any skylight or haze or ND filters for my Nikon only a UV for protection mainly. At the time I was using a camera with a max shutter speed of 500 and trying to make daylight portraits with blown out backgrounds. Portraits are a whole different ballgame fellas...study the filters and what they can do for your portraits before you decide...they are just tools. A lot of these "special" effects can be made in post production but me I like to use the glass. If you are going B&W that adds a whole other twist to it. Filters are made for a reason folks if they were useless they wouldn't make them right? :) Here is a link for you...
