I was just the other day, looking into purchasing some 4 x 4 filters for my new Genus Matte Box.

I have a book called DV Shooter by Barry Braverman and he has a good chapter on filters and the effects it has notably, making DV take on a film like quality.

He lists a soft FX and a Gold diffusion as ones to make the most of your leading lady. I think Tiffen was his manufacturer of choice, so, following his advice I looked into buying some.

I was glad I was sitting down. Now I know our gear is expensive, but I was somewhat surprised by the price of these in the uk.

Has anyone actually used them? Recomendations?
