  • Has there been a discussion about using UV/sky/polarising screw on filter on an slr lens for protection. Do the screw on filters increase lens flair? Do modern colour or black and white films need 'help' that a uv or sky filter would give?

    Am asking as I have been reading about using screw on filters to protect the lens, as I was told, but there seems to be two opposite side to the discussion.

    Do you still use the cokin square filters any more.

    ..yes there is, and there always has been.
    You should probably just try it for yourself (shoot the same things twice, with UV filter and without) and see what differences it makes / if it actually does make a difference.

    My only advice would be using proper ones with good coatings (as with front elements of the actual lenses, this means less reflections, plus easier to clean).

    Never used the cokin ones as that always seemed like a major pain in the ass.

    Like the ones from wish ;)

    I was just wondering, when I used to shot with film it was what my teacher/lecturers said to fit. That was 30 years ago so am wondering if things have changed.

    Also the only film cameras have used in the past 5 years is a 120 Diana and a 35mm diana or whatever it is and tlr royflex.
