Pro Optic filters
Mar 11, 2015 12:27:44 #
Anyone familiar with Pro Optic filters? I received a UV and circular polarizer kit as a freebie with a new lens from a well-known camera shop. I use B+W filters with my other lenses. Uncomfortable with using Pro Optic because a web search reveals very little, except for an unkind comment.
Thank you for any input.

For the most part anything that has "pro" on it is not much good. Why not take them out and do some testing and see if they hurt your image. For some shots the Polarizer may work for you. If it softens your image it may be more to your liking than "tack sharp". Dave

Shouldn't be too hard to take a photo without any filter, then one with one filter, then a photo of the same subject with the other filter. Exposure adjusted for the filter, of course.
Then display the three photos on your computer screen side-by-side and compare.

Two key words there: "free" and "Pro." Since it was free, it probably isn't pro quality. I never buy those "kits" with a body and a dozen other things. Sometimes a seller will include a lens cloth or tiny tripod as a "throw-in" with a product.
