The best!

Always a classic for portraits and a lot of other things!

Almost never use an ND or CPL with the Q because I like to keep shooting with the Q very simple and quick. Whereas with my M7, I use all types of ND, CPL, and color filters with it all the time! - Jacob

It's great!

The color science is unbelievable! Thanks for sharing! - Jacob

EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. 🔥🔥🔥

The R5 has a touchscreen as well! You can use either the touchscreen or the buttons to navigate through the menu like daisey did and you can also disable the touchscreen as well if you want.

We are looking forward to this and more!

Agree with you 100%! What gear are you using?

I’m a prime NIKON shooter. I love my Z6, Z8 is on my wish list. My nifty 50 is always on the body but the holy trinity is near by (85&35). For off camera flash I use 2 Godox AD200 with a XProII trigger. I am waiting for my Stella pros to come in and may be switch them out.

@@FramedSuccess Love hearing about your set up, everyone is loving the Z8 right now!

Right, a filter is a very thin, unsupported piece of glass. The lens has very thick and supported glass elements. I believed it decades ago but haven't used a filter in about 15 years with no issue. I don't hang off the side of cliffs doing Nat. Geo shoots but I'd be interested to learn how many pros have a filter on the front of their $5000 lens. Although I do have a circular polarizer and a ND filter for use occasionally but they don't stay on the lens, it's just easier to accomplish those effects in-camera with a filter than in post processing.

@@davidmccarthy6061 As a seller of Nikon, Sony, Canon Fuji, Hasselblad, + many other brands for more than 30 years (mostly to Pros & serious enthusiasts), we probably sell filters with about 50% of the new & used lenses that we provide to photographers. We also BUY a large amount of used gear, and my guess is that about 1/3 of the lenses we purchase or accept in trade include filters. Some filters are made, simply to make a buck by selling them cheaply on Amazon, etc... Other are high quality hardened glass, with 20+ multicoatings that will protect a lens well - and maintain the quality of the lens while offering the protection.

If they did it would be killer! Lets see what comes in 2024!

Great question! For protection filters there are standard filters but the ones we recommend are ones with multicoatings on it. Here is a link to a example of one that we sell: servicephoto.com/shop/promaster-72mm-digital-hgx-prime-protection-6613/16761550-7f49-0134-bcac-00163e9110c0?variation=1359069&query=filters Be sure to read the product details!

@@servicephoto This guy is linking directly to his own site because he is trying to make a buck by scaring you. Don’t fall for it. Use the hood that came with your lens and buy a decent strap.

@@RogerZoul My bro, if you are around people in the streets that bump into you with god knows what, you need a filter, ya can't shoot with a cap on. There just needs to be a bit of a crowd, someone with a mug and someone with a plate on chest height, very common around restaurants and bam, your 4k€ lense is worth around 4 bucks

@@RogerZoul I also wouldn't buy from that shop because I am not American, but I can definitely help them improve in their recommendations for others that might want to look up what to use

@@theoldironqueen8224 Ok, there are certainly special situations where a filter might be best, like around salt water and sand, etc. But this kind of thing does not lead to everyone needing to use filters to protect lenses. You’re just trying to scare people into buying filters from you. If I’m walking in a crowd of people then a hood will do just fine.

Hoods can help but filter would be your best bet so be careful! If you ever dropped your lens we would rather you pay for another filter than a repair, which are not cheap!

@@servicephoto Stop trying to scare people into buying filters. I have tons of lenses and I do a lot of photography. I’ve dropped my rigs a few times and I’ve never had any impact on the glass when a hood was in place. I’ve ripped the mount off both lens and body. I had to repair a Canon L lens once and the cost was $300.

@@RogerZoul Experiences are different for each photographer. If you've avoided impact damage, after dropping gear, that's awesome - but in our opinion, you should consider yourself lucky. Our store has been sending repairs to Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, & others for over 30 yrs. Most repairs are $300 or higher, and some can be avoided with filter use. Repairs also take time - and can be a huge inconvenience when you need your gear. Every photographer has a right to their opinion. That's cool - we just know what we see on a regular basis in our camera store.

Thank you for the feedback! Always trying to make our content better.

@@servicephoto I appreciate your efforts, and please forgive me for not saying so the first time.

Definitely is a high price! There are other options as well with different factors out there in the Canon lineup.

Thanks for the info! Hope fully that is soon and I'll highlight that in a comment!

@@servicephoto Yes sir anytime!

Let’s go! 🔥🔥🔥
