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.

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). 

Available in various sizes. Collapsible. Provides protection from sun glare in addition to protecting the end of the lens from knocks. Used but in good condition.

For adjusting the colour temperature.

Step-up rings screw into the front of your lens, and enable larger filters to be attached. They are listed as for example 55-72, which means that the ring screws on to a lens with 52mm filter diameter, and allows a 72mm filter to be attached to the lens.

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).
