Just wondering, what kind of filters you guys would recommend i get, and where i should get them. thanks


I don't set out to make "art" I just try to make something with a beginning, middle, end, and some characters...the art seems to come during the process.

I buy coffee filters at Starbucks, car oil Filters at the auto parts store, and filter feeder fish at the pet store. What kind of filters are you looking for? Optical? Filter plugins for your NLE? Better yet, what exactly are you trying to accomplice with the filters? I would recommend you not use filters at all unless you need one for a specific challenge.

I keep a UV filter on my GL2 at all times to protect the lens. For 16mm I don't use filters for the simple reason that I don't have a matte box and all my C-mount lenses have different front threads.

For Super 8 my Nizo has what I believe is a skylight filter to warm the image a little.
