  • Do I need a UV filter? Are UV filters useful? worth it? good? We get all these questions on a day to day basis and were curious ourselves. So we put it to the test! In this video, Andrew gets one of our top-selling, high-quality Nisi S Plus UV Filters and puts it head to head with a Generic $5 UV Filter.
    Do you notice the difference?

    I feel like if you're buying $100 UV filters for $400 lenses, you're almost circling back around to needing to protect it. I always buy UV filters proportional to the cost of the lens. Cheaper lenses get cheaper filters, more expensive lenses get more expensive filters.

    Well explained, thanks for sharing! :) I bought the Hoya UV Filter last week and it's totally worth protecting the lenses! I'm happy with it!

    Nisi filter isn't worth the asking price in any sensible way.

    If adding a pro mist filter infront of the UV filter, will that affect the effect the pro mist filter create or so? or the ND filter?

    • @jasonliao5256
      @jasonliao5256 3 года назад +2

      Yes, but the pro mist filter is actually downgrading your image quality already(making it blur), so it doesn’t really matter. For a ND, it depends. If you are using a bad ND, it doesn’t really matter, if you use a good ND, I would say pair up with a decent quality UV filter.

    Another balderdash video. A high quality UV filter before a digital sensor (even though digital sensors already have a UV/IR cut filter) will prevent the sensor from being overloaded by UV light giving an incorrect EV meter reading. Secondly, a UV filter combined with a lens hood will help to prevent glare and flare from either pointing towards the sun, or street lights at night, or on overcast days when glare is a real problem. Finally, a UV or clear filter is a barrier to dust and water, as front lens elements are not impervious to abrasion from continual cleaning. Get your ducks in a row before shooting your mouth off.

      Just don’t get a uv filter for anything but protection. They’re pointless for digital sensors. They were useful for the the blue from the rgb spectrum when using film which picked up a lot of uv radiation. They’re a huge waste of money since Lens hoods protect your lenses as well.

    Hardly any difference between the two. In digital world, you take care all these aberrations in post-processing. UV filters are dead. What you need is protection for your lens. Which comes largely from Lens Hood.

  • @mavfan1

    UV filters are solely a profit item for camera stores. Saying the UV filter will keep your front lens from shattering is a LIE!!!! Saying that is like saying a super thin layer of glass on top of your casr’s windshield will keep it safe. The amount of force it takes to beaks filter wouldn’t affect the front lens element at all. A lens hood is your best bet for protection.

    • @jasonliao5256
      @jasonliao5256 3 года назад +2

      My friend just dropped his camera last week and a UV filter did saved this lens. But I agree with what you said, a lens hood does a better job than a UV filter. You can have both to protect your lens from drop + dust

    • @jasonliao5256
      @jasonliao5256 3 года назад

      ND is a must have gear for video shooting (variable ND), it’s not for protection. It uses to create better photo / videos.

    • @Dochorahan

      No one said a filter won’t stop your lens from shattering. Who the hell said that? UV filters help keep dust and grime out, and also scratches.
