The classic filter for protecting your lens. We have a variety of Skylight 1A, 1B and UV filters which offer similar fairly neutral) colour rendition. If you would like a specific type from these three then please get in touch prior to ordering, otherwise we will supply the best from our selection. Used, but in good condition (may just require a little cleaning). 

Coloured filters are used primarily for black-and-white photography. Yellow / Orange / Red are particularly good for deepening contrast in sky (in increasing strength). Used, but in good condition (may just require a little cleaning). 

Circular polarizing filter. On rotating mount to vary the effect. Reduces reflections and deepens blue skies.  Used, but in good condition (may just require a little cleaning). 

ND (Neutral Density) filters are used to reduce the amount of light coming into the lens of a camera, without changing the color at all. They are varying shades of neutral grey, and are labelled according to how much they reduce the light. e.g. ND2: 1/2 of the light passes through, so make the image darker by 1 stop ND4: 1/4 of the light passes through, so make the image darker by 2 stops ND8: 1/8 of the light passes through, so make the image darker by 3 stops They are particularly useful for Super-8 movie cameras which have a fixed shutter speed which can present challenges in bright situations where the camera doesn't have a small enough aperture to achieve correct exposure. Used, but in good condition (may just require a little cleaning). 

Close-up lenses are used to get closer to your subject than normal. They screw into the front of your lens and enable macro / close-up shots. They come in different strengths e.g. +1, +2. The higher the number, the closer you can get. Used, but in good condition (may require a little cleaning).
