Glimmerglass 1/2 or 1 for an everyday filter? I am looking to buy a Glimmerglass for everyday shooting on a6700. I was looking at many examples of the Glimmerglass 1 strength on the Fujifilm subreddit, and in some cases it looks perfect, but sometimes it looks way too strong. I would like to have a filter with a decently strong halation like that of a 1/4 BPM filter. Would a 1/2 or 1 streng…

What camera + lens should i buy? Good morning, I’m not new to photography. I shoot purely as a hobby for myself. However, all the photos I’ve taken so far have been with my phone, and I’d like to upgrade. My phone has great potential for short distances, but at long range, it falls short. I enjoy going to airshows or airports and taking photos of airplanes, so I need something …

Compact and Versatile Street Photography Camera? I’m looking for a compact camera that I can carry around with me in a coat pocket or fanny pack. Previously came from a LUMIX G85 and Nikon D7000.

Will converting ND filters sizes work?

( www.reddit.com )

Will converting ND filters sizes work? As we all know ND filters can get pretty pricey so I’d prefer if I could adapt the filters onto different lenses. If I buy a 67mm filter for a Sigma 28-70 2.8 lens, would I be able to adapt that same filter on to a 70-200 f2.8 which has a 77mm filter thread? I’m assuming that the smaller size won’t matter since it’s a telephoto lens but I might …
