Clip-in Filters???
I have no idea just how much the idea of clip-in filters is going to take the
place of traditional on lens filters (rectangular, square, or circular) is going to be favorably met. The only place I can see the concept being useful is in the world of ultra wide angle lenses where the front element precludes the use of traditional filters. https://stcoptics.com/en/clip_filter/ -- Regards, Savageduck |

Almost everything. I guess you are saying that with your, “just about everything...”. the exceptions are a polarizer and a protective filter, which won't work inside the camera (or for ultra-wides), and a neutral density filter and hot mirror, which would. ....and yet they list a CPL, that I don’t see working. As far as ND filters go I prefer to have a little more control, especially when dealing with long exposures which cannot be replicated in post. They can be done with a total stop down, but that can lead to diffraction issues. it requires live view, yet lists the nikon d70 as compatible. based on the list of cameras, they probably meant the d7000. Probably. ;-) -- Regards, Savageduck |

Why not post process? For ultra wide that could require colour grading. -- "2/3 of Donald Trump's wives were immigrants.

Looks fussy. It is fussy. Why not post process? PP works for some filter effects, but not all. For example long exposure using ND filters cannot be replicated in post. For ultra wide that could require colour grading. With much of the latest software color grading and the use of LUTs has become simple regardless of the FL. -- Regards, Savageduck |

Looks fussy.* Why not post process?* For ultra wide that could require colour grading. They show no explanation for how polarizers and variable ND filters would work. I think that IR filters would be a real PITA. -- PeterN |
