Rating of the best light filters

Various purpose of light filters and ease of installation allow you to easily create a variety of unique effects in photography. Color enhancement, darkening, macro enhancement are just some of their possibilities.

An important part of any such optics is the antireflection coating. It improves light transmission and allows you to create high quality photos without compromising detail and contrast. Most light filters not only expand the capabilities of the camera, but also protect an expensive lens from mechanical damage and negative environmental impact.

Macro

Macro
The main advantages
  • The set includes a protective case, in which it is convenient to store and transport the light filter
  • Excellent strength as well as excellent transparency and glass uniformity parameters are achieved by using high quality raw materials
  • In the manufacture of used Japanese reagents, not inferior to those used in more expensive products of other brands
  • The design of the rim ensures reliable glass fixation, and the coating eliminates souring along the threads even after prolonged use
  • Due to the convex-concave design of the lens, the focusing distance is reduced, which expands the capabilities of the lens. This property is widely used in macro photography.
