[QUOTE="Katie1987, post: 100917, member: 12215"] I'm headed to Hawaii next week (the Big Island) with my husband and taking along some of my camera gear (still deciding what to take and what to leave behind...aiming to pack lightly!) I'm contemplating getting a few filters to test out especially since I'll have a lot of free time while my husband golfs a few days (I'm 28 weeks preggos with our first child). My thinking is to get a circular polarizer (looking at the Tiffen one, i know there are some "so-so reviews" but since this is my first go-around at using one I probably won't notice the difference between a "good CP" and a "bad CP" - or maybe I will? Also contemplating getting a gradual neutral density .6 filter. I don't want to break the bank on this, I've been doing some looking on amazon.com and finding some very reasonably priced. I envision trying these filters out during the day, there's a great beach nearby where we are staying and possibly during sunset, I imagine I'll have plenty of time to fiddle around with these. I'll likely get a step up ring as two of my lenses are 58mm and only one is 52mm (there's a high chance I'll utilize both the 58 and 52. Thoughts on if I should get just one or the other or go ahead and invest in both? Anyone have words of advice? [/QUOTE]
