In this week’s episode, we discuss the perfect landscape photography filters? I've been using filters from early on throughout my journey with photography and one of the biggest issues I've had with them, is not the quality of the filters themselves, rather the time it takes to install them when you're on-location. Lets face it, when conditions are rapidly unfolding before you, the last thing you want to do is mess about with filters, trying to strap them onto the end of your lens. And from my experience, when things aren't easy to use, you don't use them and when things are easy to use, you use them! I hope you enjoy this week's video and as always thanks so much for watching! - Mark D.

These look easy to use, but I could see the attachment points on them wearing over time from all the pushing/pulling. Maven filters with the stronger magnets are by far the best I've used. It would take something awfully special to get me to consider anything else.

The concern over the gasket that holds it on is something I share. I think the magnets would be less apt to fail. Even if it is a vinyl or something similar it will wear pretty quickly. I would be interested to see a followup in 6 months or so to see if that wear is starting to become noticeable.

I switched from the Nisi filter system to the Freewell Pro magnetic system a few years ago. With this change I managed to downsize from a bulky case to a much smaller case of 5 filters (4 Nd and a cpl). The quality of these magnetic filters is awesome and results are ever so amazing. Ease of use, much less space required in your backpack, and best of all, the end result is similar or maybe even better.

The filters are very thin. I can stack 2 filters (all I have) on my 20-35 @20mm with no vignetting. Also, you can use the oem lens hood. The NISIs look like the rims are a bit deeper. Doesn’t look like you can use the lens hood with them.

Agree with the core concept - if they are easy to use, they will get used. One other logistical consideration: with magnetic, I can still (when desired) use a lens hood without fuss. One finger to push the filter on, one finger to lift it off. Not sure how you would use a lens hood with these if you need 3-4 fingers to push them on/take them off - unless you continually remove the hood when changing filters. Not an issue for everyone, but thought I would mention it. And I've never met a piece of plastic that didn't wear out/break off.

Glad to see it finally on the way not sure why they have been so late to the party. looking forward to upgrading my set to this hopefully they get you a CP to test as well i'm assuming it will be their true color version which goes really well. And be good if they just came with a colored hard clip on case like you could get with the threaded style so you just threaded into a cap save taking the big hard case on hikes.

I am using the Kase K100 K-8 system and have been for a few years with no issues and no color cast concerns. The magnetic polarizer is my favorite polarizer, so far and no sweat attaching the slide in holder or slide in grad filters. I am satisfied completely at this time. Thanks for sharing

Check with NISI to see if they have a back cap for your filter stack. Obviously there is a front cap. Then you could put the stack in anything. I use Freewell and there is a front and back filter cap where I can just toss a stack of filters in anywhere. Freewell certainly has its issues (no color coding, magnets could be stronger, magnetic cap will fall off in a shoulder bag and are hard to get off with a hood etc), but the front and back cap with stacking is a really nice feature. The pressure fit may have an advantage over magnetic filters in that they do eventually lose their potency. Can you use the manufacturer’s lens cap with the NISI filters?

As a KASE magnetic system user, there are some issues I have. I bought adaptor rings, and magnetic lens covers (at great epense) for each of my main lenses, so as to have fast interchangeability of my filters. Works fine except (a) the lens hoods don’t fit with the adaptor rings fitted; (b) I’ve had the filters detach from the adaptor ring when stacked with two filter and a lens cap (carrying to a new composition), because of insufficiently strong magnetism, and (c) when I have the polariser and graduated filters stacked, it is really difficult to rotate one and not the other. I’d be interested to know how the Swift system is by comparison.

I used to use NISI filters, but when they got a name for themselves, the price went way up on par with Lee and other big name brands. I moved to Haida because I wasn't happy with the colour cast of the other filters and even when stacked I find little to no colour cast as for convenience yes those NISI filters look the business but I'm not going to change my lenses anytime this decade to all Nikon Z mount glass for my Z8, so I'll be sticking with my Nano pro Haida M150 filters that fit my Nikon 14-24mm f2.8 g and the adapter for the 77mm thread other lenses.

I have a set of Formatt Hi-tech firecrest filters. They use the holder system. I chose that brand because they don't have a color cast.

This system looks like it might be more secure.

Very interesting! I would assume there is no way to include a graduated ND in this set. So, if you purchased the NiSi Swift system, you would still need a separate system if you wanted to use a graduated ND, especially on a 1/3 - 2/3 horizon shot. Is that correct? Thanks!

Very well put together Mark. I am hoping that NiSi will at some point hop on the magnetic bandwagon for both circular and square filters. It really will be in their best interest. A lot of people using all kinds of filter brands are jumping ship to Kase for that reason. That's not to say that the NiSi lineup isn't absolutely fantastic but as you say, it chews up so much time getting it all set up and in many light situations you only get a window of a few minutes. The tech is getting dated and speed is key

Hi Mark. No disrespect meant but… You started the video showing a graduated filter and I spent the entire time looking to see how they would deal with a graduation in a circular filter. The benefit of the older system you started with is that the long rectangular graduated filter can be slid in to place the graduation just where it’s needed. I don’t see how a circular system can ever beat that. What are your thoughts? You did kind of intimate that you would still be carrying the old system as well in the pouch you showed.

May have had something to do with when you separate magnetic filters they can be a little "stuck" together and when they release they can go flying if your not expecting it. When you find a perfect case let us know. that is the one thing I do not like about my Nisi system, the case is very bulky.

Now, no, I haven't had any issues with my cards. I take the practice of storing my extra cards in a pack pocket away from my filters. They are using magnets in case closures that I just don't use. I just err on caution.

I've used both Kase and Maven magnetic filters and I'm not thrilled with either system. It's not the quality, that's great. It's the magnets. People say how much stronger the magnets on Maven filters are but I find them only marginally better, if that, than Kase. The problem is one little bump or brush something and off they come. I'm not rough with my gear either. It's too expensive. It's such a pain I'm considering going back to screw on filters. The Nisi system looks cool but I'm not sure it would be any better. Plus, I think the gaskets may wear out over time. Thanks though Mark for a great video. I will give Nisi a look when they become available.

HI Bill - Michael here. One easy way to remedy this accidental bump-age issue is to use a lens hood. I understand the desire to shoot and carry without a lens hood, but we measured the MAVEN magnets to be strong enough that the filters cannot be "shaken" off of a lens, it requires direct contact. So if you have a lens hood on and cannot bump them, they are 10x more secure. Best wishes! Michael

Far from a huge deal, but the link to your Fujifilm "Big Camera" brings up an older/different model than the GFX 100S that you have here in the video (top-right filter wheel is present, and yours has the display screen only). Wasn't sure if you realized- and if it was me, I would rather know it :-) Thanks for the informative post; you definitely have some great & helpful works you put up

I have the Kase Wolverine set and their magnets aren’t as strong as I’d like. I’ve had the CPF fall off. Luckily it was found and undamaged. The Nisi connection system appeals to me…snugger is more better!

I don't think the time of day is what caused the magenta color - I have the same issue with my NiSi square filters even if I do not photograph in the evening/ early morning.

I love magnetic systems but I am not fond of ND variable.

I just don't see any benefit of this over magnetic filter holders. When they are new, it requires some force to push them on (not good if you want to stack pictures with and without filters) and it is easy to only push only one half in proper. Once it wears with age I am not convinced of the holding power anymore. With all these downsides, there must be some major benefits, and I don't see any.

Its the Solid ND Swift system from NiSi, however they aren't available yet.

Mark, you are comparing two different types of filters: split filters and "total" filters. Is it fair? How do you want to achieve the effect of darkening part of the scene with a circular filter?

Looks very similar to KASE REVOLUTION FILTERS, but it's magnetic function. I think this would be better.

One point I did not get is.. is there and adapter ring? Example.. I buy the biggest ring size to be able to use them on all my lenses.. is there in adapter ring? To be able to use the widest filter system on my smallest lense..

Yes - the kit comes with an adaptor ring

The problem is, rubber wears out and perishes relatively quickly, magnets not so much. I’m not invested in either system, so my scepticism is honest. I use a mix of screw-on and push-in filters. I can’t justify the hundreds of extra £’s on these fancy systems…I mean…come on, how many seconds do they actually save and what’s the rush? Regards, Dazza. 🇬🇧

They do look easy to use not as good as magnetic filter as a magnetic filter stays magnetic, I may be wrong but I think these filters will wear as time goes on and they may have a tendency to fall off.

Nice! I use the Maven magnetic and love their ease of use. Would you please make a video on how you calculate exposure and optimal shutter speed sunrise/sunset when deciding what nd filter to use?
@stephenschmid492
@stephenschmid492 Жыл бұрын
Apps like PhotoPills can make those calculations for you.

I agree with using PhotoPills. Sometimes I just go based on past experience. With the Maven filters, it's easy to change them out if you calculate incorrectly or if you need to change after the sun sets.
