Last night the filters for my lenses finally showed up. I figured since I spent the big money on the lenses I should spend the money to protect them. And of course I mainly shoot outdoors so a polarizer is always necessary. I can’t say I use the UV filters very much.

It’s almost depressing that I paid more for shipping on two filters which weigh a pound, versus the shipping I paid for 2nd day ground on a 6 pound lens and the filters took over a week to get here! And finding the right size filter for the big Sigma, which is 86mm, wasn’t exactly easy. I ended up getting one made by Sigma themselves so hopefully the two were made for each other!

The other filter is a warming circular polarizer for my 18-200mm. I’m anxious to see what kind of effect the warming aspect will have. Since this is the lens I use most of the time it seemed like a good idea to get a stacked filter. I would have gotten one for the 86mm if I could have found one. If it turns out to be a big benefit, I’ll get one in the 77mm size for my 70-200mm lens.

Everyone uses a polarizer and lots of people use the warming filters, anyone got experience use this layered combo?
