A CPL filter is a Circular polarizer filter. It's used to increase color saturation such as making skies a darker blue and clouds "pop" so to speak. By rotating the ring you can also reduce/eliminate reflections from water & glass but not metal. The FLD filter is used to produce a more natural color when shooting under florescent lighting. Hope this helps you out D.E.

Dear D.E.-CPL Filter (Circular Polarizer) is used for removing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass or water. Take richer scenic shots and notice improved clarity in distant objects by cutting through haze and increasing color saturation.This filter is mounted on a rotating frame allowing the user to determine the desired amount of reflection to be removed by simply rotating the filter.-FLD is used for shooting under fluorescent lighting. Bring warm natural lighting to rooms that would otherwise be washed out by unappealing fluorescent lights. I hope I was able to answer properly your question.Have a good dayCustomer Service Dear D.E.-CPL Filter (Circular Polarizer) is used for removing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass or water.

CPL Filter is a Circular Polarizer that increases color saturation (darker blue skies) also eliminates reflections from non metallic surfaces such as water.FLD is a florescent filter for natural colors when shooting under florescent lights.

CPL is a circular polarized lens for removing reflections and unbleaching color, ie. making sky bluer because it usually gives you a 2X neutral density effect (reducing light). You can control the amount of reflection by circulating the lens. FLD is a fluorescent light corrector usually used with film cameras. If you are using auto mode and/or auto white balance mode, it may help correct your white balance in fluorescent light.

I would recommend the Nikon brand NC (neutral clear) filter. Unless your willing to spend more, in that case get B+W brand. You get what you pay for. No point in putting a piece of junk filter on a $1000 camera.

the fluorescent (fl) filter helps eliminate that greenish cast taking photos under fluorescent lights. The polarizer helps with outdoor photographs on bright days and the uv (ultraviolet) filter helps filter uv lhaze and is a general purpose lens protector.

Hello. I'm not sure what you're referring to with the "extinction ratio" of the filter. If you are perhaps referring to the filter factor - i.e. the amount of f-stop exposure compensation when using the filter with a manual exposure camera or light meter - I believe for this particular filter that value is 1. Tiffen has a small section on Filter Factors you may find helpful here: http://www.tiffen.com/tiffen_edu_camera_filters.html Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist with.

Yes, one of the filters is a polarizing filter. In fact, the kit contains several filters, pretty decent lenses and necessary adapters for the Canon camera. Good value.

I would suggest adding the filter. Please let me know if you get better results and if you are able to capture footage. Ciao.

HG-I am currently using without a filter for general, all situtation photos... however, depending our your style or use, that may be something you'd want. Some folks like to have just for protection, but I find the lens-hood does a good job with that... I haven't seen anything like "flaring" to warrant my need for a filter. Hope this helps. T~*

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.

The CPL lens filter will make pictures darker. Try slowing down your shutter speed and/or increase your lens's aperture size. The CPL lens filter is used for reducing glare, just like polarized sunglasses.

This filter reduces the amount of light hitting the sensor so allows you to increase the exposure time obtaining blurred moving subjects. e.g. Use it with a tripod to photograph the sea or rivers and streams like in this pic http://500px.com/photo/3539311.

Hello Sandy. Filters do a lot to the photographs. They eliminate the glare the sun causes, The haze the air shows sometimes, the greenish skin tones. They also protect the cameras lens from getting scratched.

It was a gift. I don't remember color filters. Just the emergency cone, that makes it look like a mini orange light saber.
