1. Hoya Digital Filter Kit II (UV, CIR-PL & ND8) Filterset

HOYA Digital Filter Kit II contains 3 main filters in one package, which are very commonly used in photography. Included in the set are: UV(C) FILTER A UV(C) filter is used to intercept UV light and is used for general lens protection. Made with a high quality UV cut and anti-reflective coating which has been applied to both sides. CIRCULAR POLARIZATION FILTER (CIR-PL) A circular polarization filter is a basic filter with polarization effect to eliminate unwanted reflections or improve contrast of sky and natural objects. NDX8 An ND (Neutral Density) 8 filter reduces the amount of light by 3 stops and is equivalent to 8 times slower shutter speed. By using this filter it is possible to achieve the effect of blurred movement of water or moving objects despite an open aperture. In addition, the ND8 filter is suitable for filming in bright environments with a fixed shutter speed and open aperture. Filter factor 8, transmissivity 12.5%, density 0.9 f/stop 3. 

2. Hama O-Haze

UV filter that is color neutral and provides lens protection against scratches, dust, and fingerprints. It ensures clear, sharp images in both color and black-and-white. This filter blocks UV rays up to 390 nm, filters haze, and prevents blurriness. 

3. Hoya Digital Filter Kit II

The Hoya Digital Filter Kit II contains 3 main filters in one pack, which are very frequently used in photography. Included in the set are: UV(C) Filter - A UV(C) filter is used to intercept UV light and provides general lens protection. Manufactured with a high quality UV cut and anti-reflective coating applied to both sides, a circular polarising filter is a basic filter with a polarising effect to eliminate unwanted reflections or improve the contrast of celestial and natural objects. NDX8 An ND (neutral density) 8 filter reduces the amount of light by 3 f-stops and corresponds to an 8x slower shutter speed. By using this filter, it is possible to achieve the effect of blurred movement of water or moving objects despite an open aperture. The ND8 filter is also suitable for filming in bright surroundings with a fixed shutter speed and open aperture. Filter factor 8, transmissivity 12.5%, density 0.9 f/stop 3. 

4. Hoya UX II UV Filter

The UX II UV filter with a water-repellent coating is a new development of the HMC UV(C) filter, which is now integrated into the new standard class of the UX II series along with the UX II CIR-PL filter. The UX II UV filter is a completely redesigned product aimed at entry-level users, offering high quality standards along with basic and contemporary features. Although UV rays are not visible to the naked eye, they can negatively affect images taken in locations such as the sea or mountains, leading to blurred contours or pale and washed-out images. UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum present in daylight, which primarily causes adverse effects on images. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras, resulting in more vibrant images. Additionally, this filter serves as daily lens protection when left attached continuously.

6. Zeiss Uv

Crystal clear - the UV filters with T* anti-reflective coating from Carl Zeiss provide optimal protection for the front lens of your lens. Additionally, they give your shots absolute brilliance with unchanged color reproduction and consistent exposure time. 

7. Hama Grey filter Vario ND2-400

To reduce light when brightness is too high, this filter allows for large apertures in outdoor portraits, resulting in a blurred background. An exposure extension of +1 to +8 stops is possible. 

8. PolarPro Grey Filter PM Signature Edition II 2/5 Stops - 82 mm

A neutral density filter (ND filter), also known as a gray filter, blocks a portion of the incoming light. By using a gray filter, you can significantly extend the exposure time, achieving effects such as blurred water or preventing overexposure of the image in bright midday sunlight with an open aperture. 

9. PolarPro PMVND Signature Edition II 2/5 Stops

The 67mm Peter McKinnon Edition Variable ND 0.6 to 1.5 Filter from PolarPro is designed to mount onto lenses with 67mm front filter threads and provides an exposure reduction of 2 to 5 stops. The 0.6 to 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than usually possible. The degree of density is easily controlled by rotating the front filter ring, helping you predetermine the additional exposure length required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you can control the depth of field and convey movement more easily. For easier, repeatable control over density settings, the front ring is visually demarcated with numbers representing the different stop values and features haptic feedback to feel a click when reaching a number, without the need to look at the ring. The ring features side knurlings for a secure grip and to further enable fast and precise positioning. To help ensure consistent exposures, the front ring is designed to prevent any rotation beyond the stop values etched on it.

This filter is constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, 16 layers of antireflective coatings offer scratch protection to the filter substrate while promoting clarity and color fidelity. The coatings associated with the 67mm Peter McKinnon Edition II variable ND 0.6 to 1.5 filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning. The quartz optics are set within an aluminum alloy filter ring assembly for durability while remaining lightweight. The unique Defender 360 hybrid case/cover is included for storage and transport and acts as both a front cap when the filter is in place on a lens and as a rigid dustproof and waterproof storage case by adding the rear cover when the filter is not in use.
 

10. PolarPro Grey Filter PM Signature Edition II 6/9 Stops

PolarPro Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II VND - Gray filter without vignetting. Ideal for shooting in bright conditions with large apertures. Recordings are possible in LOG formats with an ISO setting above 400. The preset stop range prevents the possibility of cross-polarization. No vignetting occurs at focal lengths up to 16 mm. The tactile feedback mechanism allows for effortless stop value changes without taking your eyes off the subject. The built-in Defender360 filter protection provides a water and dustproof seal. The proven Signature Edition has been redesigned and now features a unique tactile feedback mechanism. ND filters extend exposure time. A neutral density filter (ND filter) blocks a portion of incoming light, allowing you to significantly extend exposure time and achieve effects like blurred water or prevent overexposure of the image when shooting wide open in bright sunlight.
