Filters Any one use magnetic filters

[Photofarmer]

I dont but often considered them.

Thought gimmicky when they first came out say 10/15 yrs ago but sure they've caught up now in quality and actual practicality.

I follow many photographers on YouTube and many of those that use filters have switched to magnetic.

I use NiSi V6 (100mm sq) and there are times I wish I had magnetic for ease of changing stacked filters.

I have a set of Kase magnetic filters the ND's are great. I have the 82mm set so they fit nearly all my lenses with the 77-82 step up rings.

I have a set of 77mm rings that I used for ND's on my DSLRs. They worked great but could cause vignetting on the wide side of wide angle zooms (14mm, 24mm) as it extended the filter top by about 2-3mm. With mirrorless you're looking at the sensor and not optically and I can stack 15 stops, or even use a solar filter, and see through them, so I don't use them any more.

We use K&F Concept (at the cheaper end of the magnetic filter market, but absolutely fine for our needs).

77mm covers our: EF16-35, EF24-105, RF14-35, RF24-105, RF70-200 and 2x RF100-500 lenses.

The bit of reading I’ve done traditional threaded filters will be redundant in a few years it seems. Only down side is no lens hood but hey if I was a filter manufacturer I would produce various magnetic lens hoods can be that hard but might be $$ If one was clever buy cheapest I’ve magnetic lens say for your 82 mm some how remove filters so your with ring and attach/glue it to existing lens hood sure it’s possible

 

[Photofarmer]

Nothing worse than changing threaded filters during thunderstorms tornadoes pain in the butt and I’ve got big fat farmer fingers no deft touch
