Practical guidance on CPL, black mist and lens protection filters.
Night lights should bloom; the whole frame should not go grey. How I use XT925 black mist on a Leica without the foggy fake look.
Yes: mist inside, CPL outside so you can still twist. Watch vignetting, bind-up, and the hood. Slim UV only as a base layer.
