Filters for Canon G1x Mark II ?

6 years 3 months ago #558550 by [email protected]
I was wondering if Cokin P series filters work with this camera and if there is some sort of adapted needed to use a filter?  I have not got the camera yet, but thought I might ask so I can get some accessories on the way :)

Also, are there filters and other accessories you might recommend for this camera?  I want to be able to do various types of photography and its just a hobby but I don't mind spending a little bit of cash for good quality items.

If the lens has filter threads, you can use the P series...just may need an adapter....

Why so serious?

Thank you :) 


Also if anyone has experience with this filter on this camera, I would love to know the quality.

I have a set (and then some) of Cokin filters left over from my 35mm SLR days. They are not glass, so the light scatter (flare) is noticeable. Never use them now, as those effects are easier to achieve with a photo editor. With the G1 X you should have very little need for any filter.
