UV Protector filter vs. Skylight filter?
Hi folks,
I'm trying to find out more information about the filters I should be using, but when I try to search on the internet, I usually just keep getting links to sites selling filters, not giving information. I'm confused as to the difference between UV Protector filters and Skylight filters. On the one site where I found information, it said this about UV Protector filters: UV filters are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection. UV filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees. And then it said this about Skylight filters: Due to its light pink color, the Skylight reduces the bluish cast of daylight and produces a pleasing, warmer picture tone. Wise initial investments, they help protect your lens from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired they can be left on at all times for protection. Skylight filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. Also used to reduce the bluish cast common with some electronic flash units. They almost sound exactly the same. Essentially, I'm looking for a good, all-purpose filter for both day and indoor/night shooting that will protect my lens and provide good quality light and color for those specific instances when I'm not using my polarizing filter. I'm not sure if it matters, but I have a Nikon D70 and Nikon F60. Can someone please explain? Thanks so much. J |
