I am looking for some filters to buy for my matte box 4x4
what is recommended most?
pol-filter?
nd filter?
uv filter?
others??

thanks for every hint

UV (depending on how many filter stages you have, you could get a screw-on/lens-mount UV)
ND .6
ND .9
Grad ND (soft edge, at least .6 and .9)
Circular Polarizer

That should get you started. Any of the color effect filters are almost obsolete, since those can be created in post with ease. But whatever you do, don't cheap out on the filters. Go for something like Formatt or Schneider.
 
yeah thanks, i thought about something like tiffen.
i have 2 spaces for filters

i am looking for schneider and its price but i think its similar to tiffen.
maybe i will first get a "starter kit"

thanks
 
Tiffens are mid-line, I have a couple of NDs but for grads and polas, I use the Formatts, they are excellent. Some DPs and Colorists feel that the basic stock glass that Tiffen uses lends a greenish cast to the picture.
