Bridge Loc: Southern New Hampshire

I have a Nikon D750, and I have had very good success in taking pictures with it. I am at a point now that I want to purchase a full complement of filters for it.
What filters would work well with this Nikon
Thanks for your help
Regards

I use circular polarizing filters the most and ND occasionally. If you have several lenses, buy one filter for the largest one and use adapter rings for the smaller lenses. One filter can be used on all your lenses.

If you like "stars" from pinpoint light sources, like street lamps, they make 2, 4, 6, and 8 point star filters.

"Full complement"? Don't buy what you won't use.....

What do you want to accomplish?

A few considerations:

a, What are your faster / fastest lenses? That is: do you have any f/2.8 lenses or wider?

b, What are the filter diameters of all your lenses? That is: how many of each do you have at: 52mm, 58mm, 67mm, 72mm, 77mm, 82mm? Do you have any non-standard lenses beyond these sizes?

Do you want ND (Neutral Density) filters to shoot wide-open in bright light, like your f/2 lens at noon at the beach in bright sun?

Do you want ND filters that are nearly black to shoot long - l o n g - exposures for silky waterfalls or ocean waves?

Of all your various lens sizes, do you want the same ND filters for every size? Or, should you get just the largest size(s) and step-up / -down rings to use that larger size onto smaller lenses?

Do you want screw-in filters or an external type that attaches to a frame that in-turn attaches to the outer edge of the lens hood?

Do you want multiple options like ND-2, ND-4, ND-6 that allow you to respond to the specifics of the available light, including the ability to stack two together to create a 'superdark' ND-10?

Filters work with lenses, not cameras. Consider the ideas / questions above as you research your filter options, capabilities, and purposes.

You can spend a lot of money on ideas that end up not being very useful, such as buying cheap and being disappointed. For screw-in type filters, you can't go wrong with products from B+W with MRC coatings, specifically their XS-Pro line, where the desired filter / filter size is offered in this line of filters.

Architect1776 Loc: In my mind

Do a bit of research, reading and videos on filters.
There are a few thoughts here but going to reviews and other sources will help as much or more.
Filters come in screw mount or in a separate holder.
What lenses?
Are the filter diameters the same?
Focal lengths, zoom?
Does the front filter ring spin when focusing.
Lots to research and consider.

Once again you have come to my rescue. If you remember (I do) that you were the real influence that lead me to purchase my Nikon D750. I don’t know if I ever properly thanked you for your honest opinion and guidance. For A number of years now I have really enjoyed my D750. It has taken awhile to learn most of the features but the rewards have been significant.

I have used a few filters with it but am now at the point that I want to experiment with others.

I have to tell you that I have never even heard of adapter rings !! What a great concept !!!

I will start my research on them now. If you have a recommendation please let me know. I appreciate your photo skills and I have enjoyed this hobby as a result of your help.

THANKS VERY MUCH

To answer the question that you asked, the early suggestions for a CPL and for a star filter are good matches for what you say that you photograph. As you get started, you may find other possibilities.

One thing though...it is almost certainly a myth that you need every sort of filter for every single lens. For instance...you indicate that you photograph antique autompbiles. I would think that a star filter would be a good possibility for that. But I'm guessing that you have one or maybe two lenses that you use for that. They are the only ones that you would need a star filter for, at least to get started. It's also pretty unlikely that you will want to use a polarizing filter on any extreme wide angle lens that you own. The effect is usually pretty unacceptable.

So I suggest that you might slow down just a little bit. Pick a starting point and lens, and buy a filter to accomplish the effect you are looking for. Learn what you are doing. Make yourself an expert (a little at a time) so that you can make your own choices better than the ones we suggest to you.

Mostly, have fun with this.

A full compliment of filters is something to build up very slowly. I've seen starter sets of 4 or 5 filters on e-bay where there is only one that I could use (and I use filters way more than most, as I use multiple full spectrum cameras & like playing with effects filters).

A CPL & a ND are a fair starting point and may be all you ever want. In the case of ND filters decide what subjects/lenses it's most likely to be used with before buying, you need to decide how strong it must be as well as what size.

In general the camera used is of very little significance, it's the lens that matter (exceptions might be shooting film or a converted camera)

I think its possible his reply might be the first one I've seen on UHH where quote reply may not have been appropriate. Bridge may simply be thanking ALL posters in the thread for their input :)

Polarizer and ND filters. Other than that, most filter effects can be created in PS.

I have two briefcases full of filters, effects, color correcting, color balancing, ND, polarizing in glass, plastic and gel in several sizes. All from the film era.
For digital I'd suggest just a good 6 or 10 stop ND and a polarizing filter. Any other effects or corrections can be done in post processing.

Filters are an experience till you know what you like or is useful for you. I bought some used breakthrough filter and my first one was 10 stop nd screw in front of the lens. 10 stops you can’t see almost nothing but you need to focus.
I end up with Kase amours filter system what is great quality but a bit bulky. Start with a polarizer is my suggestion.

$3000.00 lens and a $5.00 filter.... not the best way to go. I agree that B+W with MRC are top of the line.
