Film experts once again needed. I am thinking of buying some colour filters for use with my Dynax 7/Sigma 21-35 ie. landscape shots. I'm shooting some colour sensia 100 slide film at the moment, but when that's used up I think I will pretty much be on Tri-X and HP5 exclusively.
So, I understand the basics of colour filter effects, but I'm wondering if it's worth investing in some high-quality colour filters? The only 77mm thread filters I can find are cheapo (5 for £15) on eBay, and I'm not sure how badly the filters will damage the image quality. Any recommendations or advice on value are greatly appreciated.
I'm also wondering if there's anything that can be achieved by coloured filters on the lens when the shot is taken that can't be achieved by multigrade filters when printing? I don't plan on doing my own prints for a while but it's something I'd like to know for future reference.
Thanks in advance!
