Hey everyone. I just recently set up a new kit and now have the ability to use 2" filters. I live in a bortal 5 with a small county airport to my South East. And a shopping center to my South West. The kit I'm using is a Rokinon 135 paired with a ASI585. Looking to get broad wide angle shots of my sky. I want to shoot anything I can get my lens on. Do you have suggestions on some filter I should invest in. I realize I could go overboard and get filters that my hurt my photos. But I'm new and don't know what would benefit me the most. If any at all.
What filter would work best for me.
Engaging
I'd say the cheapest ones are the L-Pro and the L-eNhance from Optolong broad enough to be not overly affected by the lens' speed (assuming shooting at less than f/3.3). Beyond those it gets really expensive and more selective in what you want to shoot. In all cases to make life much much easier you'd need a filter drawer to suit your flange (Canon I believe).

I do have a drawer. That's why I am interested in picking up a filter. I don't know which ones are worth getting. I think I can get away with shoot broadband no filter, if not, darker skies are not that far away. I will mostly shoot emission at my house. I didn't say it before but I'm shooting with the 585MC PRO OSC.
