need help with filter

[miqbal93]

hey guys

just bought a circular PL filter. should i put on the cpl filter infront of my uv filter OR should i put the cpl filter behind my uv filter OR remove the uv filter and just put on the cpl filter on my lens? thanks for the replies!

Purists would say use the CPL filter alone.

But if using 2 filters doesn't cause vignetting and for convenience-sake, use the UV filter behind the CPL filter.

Should always avoid stacking filters. So pls remove your UV before your CPL

No. CPL is to eliminate glare from sunlight.

No. CPL is to eliminate glare from sunlight.

But CPL also removes reflections from glass right?

CPL does not reduce glare from sunlight but polarises the light. It removes reflections from glass or water.

I recommend reading instead of wild guessing...
