I dont think this simple question should start a flame war, but I am really interested to know what people think.
There is a startling array of filters on the market, and to the best of my knowledge (although I admit to not having looked very hard either
) there is no "guide" or "opinion" on the different brands.
These are the brands I have heard of:
Hoya (of course)
Kenko
Tiffen
Cokin
B+W
No doubt there are lots more,
please add them to the list.
Then, as I discovered recently, courtesy of Marc Langille's workshop, there are filters and filters, as in there is a "thin" or "top end" offering from most of these manufacturers.
Would anyone care to summarise what is available and why there is a difference (if indeed there is) and in what situations you would use one of these "top end" filters....which are not cheap!!
Interested to get your input as this may develop into a very helpful data base of sorts.
Cheers
Grant
