Camera Filters I am just a very basic picture taker (doesn't feel right to say photographer), but I would like to get some filters to play around with. I like taking pictures of sunsets and nature and also my kids. Any tips? I have a Nikon N-65. Thanks for any advice. Janet

Please go to www.tiffen.com. They have a list of its product line and their usage. Another filter manufacturer like B+W is also very good (www.schneideroptics.com). For me, my basic filters consist of a curcular polarizer, a 4X graduate neutral density filter, an enhancing filter and 81A warming filter. Hope this helps.

Janet, In the same class as B+W is another German company, Heliopan: http://www.heliopan.de/ The site is in German. If you aren't reasonably fluent in German photo jargon, you can use Babelfish to help translate it enough to get the gist of the text: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ Yet another company I would class with Tiffen is Hoya. THK is the U.S. distributor of Hoya filters: I have a number of filters, but don't use them that often with color films, usually its for some special effects in special situations. I often use a number of colored filters with B/W to adjust how shades of gray are rendered by various colors. IMO, B+W and Heliopan are a notch better than Tiffen or Hoya. -- John
