Anyone is using NiSi square filter system? Will it fit LEE filters and any vignette if using 16-35mm lens ? The v5 kit set is cheaper as compared to LEE foundation + adaptor + polarizer set but Nisi filters are not cheap too.
Thanks.
Thanks.
I would also like to know if anyone has any experience with the NiSi v5, and how it compares to the likes of LEE! Others have said that the filter guide rails are really tight, especially when fitting in LEE filters. Can anyone corroborate this?
Also, will my 82mm CPL fit nicely as a replacement to the default CPL that comes along with the NiSi v5?

Please for provide a link if this quesiton has being asked before.
For those who have used a different brands of CPL filter before.
If I stand at an angle shooting out through a glass panel with some reflection inside the room, does a better CPL filter able to cut down 100% of the reflection?
Thank You

No not 100% but better than not using it.Better cpl is relative it's like you prefer chicken rice or buku teh.Of course the quality of construction...flat parallel glass and precise smooth rotation.

One-one-jack,
Thanks for the reply as well for the articles.
I wanted to have a CPL for my Olympus 12~40mm lens to shoot thru' glass panel like the sea world aquarium or outside scenery of a tall building.
Yesterday while clearing store found that 1 piece attached to my old Nikkor 35~135mm lens. No brand except printed except Japan.
First thing I did was tested out reducing reflection off shiny surface. Found that it unable to reduce 100% of the reflection. Hence the enquiry for those who have the opportunity to try different brands of CPL on eleminating 100% reflection from the smooth or shiny surface.
Thank You

Apologies for pulling this thread up from so long ago >.<
Just a quick question, what would be a cost effective brand of filters to buy? Are Kenko MC UV or Raydawn filters any good? Don't need to be very good with hydrophobic coating and all, just something to do the job and protect the lens without too much flaring. Need to buy quite a few, plus a 95mm one.

There are so many new brands out there nowadays since this was last written. Kenko remain a good quality brand. Sorry I never heard of Raydawn. If you requirements for the coatings is not high, most filters will do. 95mm filters are seldom available, although I have heard of some brands offering one.
Aye alright, thanks! Will go take a look around in local stores. Most likely will go with Hoya or Kenko.
May I ask any seniors here have used the X4 CPL from breakthrough photography?
https://breakthrough.photography/products/x4-circular-polarizer?variant=31547348689
was considering the B+W CPL and then came across this brand.

It is a kickstarter thingy, so very new. Nowadays business not that great, so don't think shops in sg will sell it anytime soon, especially at this price point. So many competition out there.
agree. Think I shall consider the Hoya or b+w kaesemann model. Is there a XS-Pro and F-Pro difference?
Shall visit maybe TK foto soon....
IIRC, for B+W filters, XS-pro and F-pro difference is only in the mounting rings. XS-pro sport slimmer rings more suitable for wide angles.
Personally I have been using Kenko filters for a while now. Been using a Kenko pro1 CPL for many years (seldom use actually). I've added a Haida CPL a few years back to complement the Haida filter holder I got. Works great.
thanks for the advice! shall research again and take some time off to visit the local stores!
