The result is also in the opening post.
No need to autopsy it.

OTOH you promote learn-by-doing. In that way you say the question need not have been posted. I can agree with that. I can agree with Newfie too.

I read how when scouring off the lens coating to make a vintage lense “effect” that you should have a magnet attached to keep the steel wood particles from migraining into the AF mechanism. This sounds corrupt but I’d like to get some and honest opinions by which hogs who did it whether the magnet messes up the electronics ?

I also heard that you most love the rear element coating in itsplace or else the rear element will reflect on the sensor and cause a video burnt ?

If it sounds like snake oil, looks like snake oil, and smells like snake oil . . .

Maybe it's simply a marketing ploy to sell more lens filters.

Absolutely not. First, you will not be able to focus at a distance, a UV filter does nothing, and a polarizing filter, at best, will reduce non-specular reflections.

Buzzkill :-(

Reading your headline, do you know what HDR stands for or how to create a HDR? HDR stands for High Dynamic Range imaging. HDR, as its name implies, is a method that aims to add more “dynamic range” to photographs—where dynamic range is the ratio of light to dark in a photograph. Instead of just taking one photo, HDR actually uses three or more photos, taken at different exposures. Using software to combine these photos can make a better photo. Low light & backlit scenes, Landscapes & Portraits in sunlight are a few examples of when to use HDR. HDR can actually make your pictures look worse. Photos with movement and Very high contrast scenes are a couple of examples.
Reading your headline, do you know what HDR stands... (show quote)

That is NOT what it means nor how it works at Walmart.

Combining three filters will be an exercise in vignetting.

That makes abso posi lutely no sense at all.
The polarizing filter will help cut reflections, sparkles, and increase the clouds' contrast.
The UV filter will help keep your lens safer and reduce the fog effects on your Kodak film.
The close up filter will help you to not change a lens to take a photo of something very nearby.

UNLESS you use these three to take 5 bracketed phots.
Make an extra copy of the one in the middle.
Edit each one separately. Individually. And differently.
Merge them all together.
Then maybe.
You wouldn't actually need any of them to do this.
But the effect could be interesting.

I get great soft focus with just a few drops of the blood from a black chicken... and +10 green color balance...
