well, i'm ready to start playing around with filters...
but what im not sure about, and this may seem very basic, is---
what is the difference between : step-up rings, step-down rings, and adapter rings ??
i've never used filters before.. i want to experiment with altering colors in an image, starting with just b&w film.. so im hoping that i may be able to just purchase some sort of filter kit with gelatin filters..
therefor i would need to buy a filter holder, and adapter ring..is that right??
my lens diameter is 58mm..
so i guess all im wondering is, which type of ring do i need for the filter holder? step-up? step-down? or adapter?
and would i just need a 3x3 filter holder?
i hope this makes sense:blushing:
