I understand there are quite a few new players in the filter scene, some of which are pretty high quality and with very little color cast. If you were to buy filters today, which would you go for?

Aug 10, 2016 03:56 | #8 Okay thanks. So it's $150 per filter or don't spend a kidney and get a color cast. Great. Fuji X-T4, 18-55 and 55-200 zooms, Samyang 12

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Aug 29, 2016 21:21 | #12 I would look into the Firecrest filters from HiTech; those appear to be doing quite well and don't cost quite as much as the Lees - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife
