Anti-glare 72mm Filter

[kgb]

On my last project, I used a Red Rock M2 with some Nikon lenses. On set I saw some weird reflections that I couldn't get rid of, and now that I've been editing for months it is really driving me nuts.

I guess my still lenses didn't have anti-glare coating. What I'm wondering is if these lenses don't have the coating, is there some kind of threaded filter you can throw on them to prevent these in-camera reflections? A high quality anti-glare filter that will not affect image quality.

Thanks...

I'm assuming you were seeing glare in reflective surfaces, not lens flares... A little difficult to tell based on your description, but just in case: for removing glare from reflective surfaces in your shot, you can buy a polarizer to thread on to your nikons, and for lens flares you can get a matte box with a french flag and side flaps to better control stray light. Black flags help too. If you get a matte box, you can also get a polarizer filter that fits in your matte box's filter tray.

Thanks Herbal. In one shot, it was glare from the windows that showed up in front of the subject/actor. On another shot, there was a green traffic light that showed up in front of the actor's face. I guess you could call that glare, since there was no peripheral light at night. So I guess I'll pick up the best 72mm circular polarizer that I can find.
