Can I use this filter with B&amp;W soft focus pro filter at the same time. Do I need to compensate ? Thank you.

I have no idea on using this filter with a soft focus at the same time; but yes, if it fits, you will have 1.5 stops at least to compensate.

It depends upon what you want. I use polarizing filters and a few other. If you purchase i good quality such as B&W; they will not affect your quality. I use a filter to protect my lens especially in dust or sand. You Don't need to have a filter on all the time

Yes. It filters very slowly. if you have not watched the videos I recommend you do it.

Not sure what you are after. You can lower the ISO, increased fl i.e. F4, F5.6, F8, increase shutter speed. I mainly use the ND filter when shooting water falls, sunsets with slow shutter speed on a tripod. For bright days, try using a polarizer filter first. It cuts down on haze, blue skies are more blue, lakes, trees, etc are more green. Hope this helps.

Yes it is. The Sigma lens uses filters with standard thickness rim - which this B&W; is.

I've used it extensively. Skin tones still look spot on and I don't have any sharpness issues which would show up because the Fuji 56mm I use it on is extremely sharp so I was worried about that. Honestly I'm quite surprised how well it works for a budget filter. I was a B&W; only guy but this one has been a nice surprise. No magenta shift like I typically see with budget filters, nice fit too.

Yes, you can use your lens cap and hood. The filter has threads to grip the lens cap or you can even stack an additional filter. Keep in mind that you will need to remove the filter to compose and focus. You can't see anything at all through the filter. It is very dark.

With this filter the camera does not auto focus or do the auto exposure correctly because this filter lets in so little light for the auto focus/exposure to work. The way I use it is to first get a exposure reading without putting on the filter. Then set an exposure using the manual setting (M) that is 8 to 9 stops higher to account for the filter (I decrease the shutter speed by 8 to 9 stops). I also at this point switch to manual focus (or auto focus without the filter and then set it to manual focus on the lens). Now I put on the filter and take the picture. Even though the filter is rated as 9 stops you may need to bracket manually between 8 to 9 stops to get the right exposure.

I looked into this about a year ago. The guide pro is a different model with a different filter. Last I checked,the only places you could get a filter for the Por were Katadyn or Amazon. I would call Katadyn. they will straighten it out for you.

I used mine for color. I'm not an expert but I see no reason why you couldn't use it for black and white. If used for color, you can convert back to black and white during post processing. By the way, this filter worked great for me.

Yes, the White and Black filters are used in tandem. The White screws onto the Black.

I'm sorry, I can't help you with that. I have the Filter Queen filters and have only used this product on those filters. Good Luck though.

yes, however, I put the filter on and went out and shot lots of great pictures with my Canon SX50 only to return and fine every picture blurry. This was not operator error or camera problem, pictures the day before and the day after were excellent without the filter, so.....

You could. I have a nice polarizer made by pro master that rotates after you thread it on. You can move it after you set your focus. Filter size is 62mm

I use it on my Hero 3 works great. No you don't need another filter. Make sure you tighten securely and check occassionally

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

Yes, it does. It's under the category of magic. Different filters and settings.
