These filters create the effect of natural lighting, even in undesirable conditions.
Most people are familiar with the basics of color temperature, even if they don’t know the terminology. Some rooms have soft, warm whites, and other rooms have cooler whites. If you’ve ever sat in a dim trendy restaurant and then gone to a bright grocery store, you can easily see the effect of lighting temperature. While our brains are capable of adjusting for the way lighting looks, cameras aren’t quite as smart. A skilled photographer has to use whatever tricks they have to get the desired colors they want. One of the most useful tools in a photographer’s kit for adjusting lighting is a color correction lens.
The kits on this list feature several lenses to help account for undesirable lighting, such as UV protection lenses, circular polarizers, and FLD filters, which helps when shooting in fluorescent lighting. Plus, some of these kits include bonuses like carrying pouches and microfiber cloths, to make sure your view — and your photos — are as clear as can be.
