Due to my phone destroyed by water, I decided to purchase my first camera, EOS M100 with it's default lens 15-45mm. I also include 22mm in the purchase. I am very interested to try CPL, FLD and ND8 filter to enhance the color of my photograph but still confused to decide whether to get the 49mm or 43mm set.
Just like what the majority said, the 15-45mm is quite disappointing with all the soft edges but does it make 22mm better for landscape photograph?
Any help will be appreciated.
Don't buy any filters until you have a problem that requires a filter.
You certainly don't need an FLD filter that was used in the days of film for shooting in fluorescent light. On a digital camera you handle that by changing the white balance. CPL filters remove light polarised in a particular direction and are primarily used for reducing reflections although they are sometimes used for darkening skies. ND filters reduce the amount of light entering the lens and allow a longer shutter speed to be used. These filters come in different optical densities for different uses. An ND08 3stop filter would be useful for portrait photography with fill flash on very bright days.
If you are interested in landscape photography then a tripod would be a better investment than filters.
I don't know a lot about EOS-M lenses but I imagine that a 22mm prime lens would have significantly better image quality than a zoom.
