Noticed on a youtube vid that I could use 62mm camera filters on my new 10-50x60mm Sightron, so i ordered a set from Amazon, figured they will protect my objective plus filter out unwanted light. Who else uses these?
It was more of a savings between these and a 50 buck sunshade.
I have a 58MM in the protective cap of a 100mm spotting scope. Helps me locate targets that are very close to being perfectly hidden via cammo. When you find an interesting place to look, as your turning the polarizer it helps to drag out detail that would not be seen with the std lens alone.I've always wanted to try out a circular polarizer on my scope...
I'm having trouble thinking of a time when I wanted less light coming into my scope.
I don't see how a filter would take the place of a sun shade. If anything, a filter will increase, not decrease the possibility of glare, both from the perspective of the shooter and the shootee. The filter I see as being useful would be a rotatable polarizing filter.
What I meant was unwanted or glare coming thru.
Maybe these filters would work the same as they do on cameras?
