>>233164This means no.
ok i know basically nothing of filters so i had no idea
>>233164what a fucking faggot
>>233160This filter will do nothing for your pictures and it won't really hurt your IQ either. These types of filters are mainly used to protect your lens glass from dust, fingerprints, impact, et cetera. Put it on and use it.
A skylight filter is essentially a UV filter with a bit of an orange tint. It's supposed to make your pictures a little warmer but you can pretty much ignore them.
>>233459And that little bit doesn't matter at all on digital.It's pretty much worthless unless you're shooting in adverse conditions.
>>233189Any low quality filter will hurt your IQ.>>233459It's not a UV filter, as it does not absorb UV light.Other then that, yes, it's pretty useless for digital.
>>233526What I meant that they were functionally identical, in that they're both totally useless aside from protection (which may or may not be a good idea but is a totally different issue)
>>233459the skylights i have have a pink hue
