UV Filter

Soft and hard are different than warm and cool.

Sunlight is cool as it has a blue tint, indoors light has a yellow/orange tint and is considered warm. This is why your camera has a white balance function.

I'm aware soft and hard are different than warm and cool 'I think'. What I meant was: If I'm lighting someone with 56k bulbs only (sunlight) My subject's would look cool. Is this correct?

I too like the B and W stuff, the Hoya are pretty good. Just try to get the mult-coted ones. B and W makes the best step up rings for sure.

If you want to know if your filter is good, simply point your camera to the window when there is a lot of light and open your iris.

If you see absolutely noting, it's a good one. Bad filters like non-multicoated will give you light reflections and/or you'll see the filter.
