Filter question

**eccs19** · 02-12-2009, 07:04 PM

I've got 3 filters, and wondering what the difference is between them. (if any) And are they worth using or not.

1. Hoya UV(0)
2. Hoya Skylight (1B)
3. Vivitar Skylight (1A)

UV filters are used often for "protection". Skylights are slightly warming filers used to take excessive blue out of shots.

Oh, and a 1B, if I recall, is just a stronger warming effect. You don't see em so often as the 1As.
