Are these mostly for film cameras and not digital, if I'm using mostly for protection, would not the cheaper Tiffens suffice, whats the difference?

In general a color conversion (warm or cooling) filter is just that regardless of camera or lens it is placed in front of. I sometimes use it when taking shots of sunsets/sunrises with my D7000. If you want a lens strictly for protection then get the best quality crystal clear lens possible-no distortion or color shift at all. If you are relatively careful a protection lens will not be necessary. Remember you will need one for each size diameter lens you own unless you buy step up/down rings. Most actual lenses are recessed (not all) so scratching it rare.

Good question, and a controversial topic. Lots of discussion on various forums. For imaging, no, it isn't needed. For protection, maybe.I use filters to protect my lenses. They're cheaper to replace. Or, they would be, but I've never damaged a filter, much less a lens. I still use them, and have since my old 35 mm film days (that's 35 years of not damaging the end of a lens, including a couple of Himalayan treks). The hood also protects the glass, and many consider that adequate. I just can't get past the relative cost to replace should my clumsiness finally break through, so to speak.

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

At the end they have different purpose two tone is for two tones pictures and the full tinted ones you can use it for long exposure, i have those and works pretty great....you can watch videos about it on U2B......

Probably. They are generic cards for Nikon digital SLR's. They dealin with settings that are best for different types of photography.

We use them for video production and still photography. For the price they are great. I guess the size would depend on what the subject is, or how many subjects there are. I have yet to encounter an issue where we needed something larger, but every project and shoot is different. Hope this helps.

These are indoor cameras. I recommend against using them outdoors, especially since Foscam makes outdoor versions that are similarly priced.

Nope, conventional film type ONLY, NOT digital. It's still among the better 35mm cameras.

I purchased these to help with that: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ZIMEMW/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 However I do not use these for photographer per se, usually for still life set ups and then for photos of my paintings.

Well, if you're shooting indoor "low light" then there isn't much need for an ND filter. Unless you're also using a flash? It's really great for shooting, say, beaches on really bright day and you wanna open up the aperture in order to blur the background without over exposing your picture.

In days past Tiffen was a good quality middle of the road (cost) filter. They've cheaped them up to point I wouldn't own one. Hoya is a similar filter. The best filter's I've used over last 45 years are by B + W.

I use on a Hasselblad CFV-50 digital back. They last 1/2 day if upswing full time. They last up to a week if I'm taking a few pictures a day.

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

No - JPEG and NEF (Nikon RAW). If you want TIFF files for some reason, shoot in NEF and then convert them. This will be a higher quality image than an in-camera conversion would be anyway. Speaking of which, the Nikon NEF &gt; JPEG converter that runs on your PC is better than the one in the camera so I always shoot RAW.

I use them on 35mm negatives and slide film. They work very well. I don't see a reason they can't be used on any film.

Film was sensitive to UV and UV filters were commonly used years ago to keep sky shots from being washed out; ie to keep them more blue. Todays digital cameras aren't sensitive to UV so the filter isn't needed. Some people use them to protect the lens from scratches but a scratch on the filter isn't good for you either, but a filter is cheaper to replace. If you are careful with your lens, the filter can be omitted. In 40 years, I've never damaged a lens. Cheap UV filters scratch very easily and also may change your color a little or cause some distortion. A good UV filter like this one has no effect on the photo and is more scratch resistant. You can get reflections from bright point light sources from most added filters which show up in your picture as ghost images, especially when a low F stop is used. Use a good UV filter if it makes you feel more comfortable cleaning it verses cleaning the lens. It shouldn't effect most of your pictures. If there are going to be point sources of light in your picture, remove the filter for that photo.

That depends a great deal on what format you're recording them in, (JPG, TIF, or the camera's RAW format, etc.) and at what resolution you're shooting.
