I appreciate your response to the question, not my thread but your answer will help me as I go to Alaska, and I am looking at filters and now I know what to get.

I configured my t7 to 1/1000, where should I put my iso at ?

Recommend you put your camera in Tv (Shutter Priority) mode. There, you get to control the specific shutter speed (e.g. 1/1000). The camera will then choose the aperture and ISO for you.
Eventually, do start exploring the exposure triangle where you'll learn that as you adjust any one value (aperture, shutter speed or ISO), you'll then adjust one or both of the other two to compensate.

Hi Alexander,
I like and use the Hoya HD Duty High Definition Protective Filter to protect my lenses. They are made in Japan and they will not affect the color balance or performance of your Canon Japanese lenses in the slightest. They are high quality filters, and I have not experienced any chromatic averation or have had any problems with them. If you want to spend more money you can get B+W, they are made in Germany or Manfrotto, they're made in Italy. I use Hoya as they are high quality Japanese optics. However you won't go wrong with any of the other aforementioned filters.

FILTERS are thin glass things that screw onto the front of a lens. They are used to protect the front of a lens, to polarize light, and for special effects. They do not "sharpen" an image or "improve quality" unless they are being used for a special reason.
If you are talking about screw-on lens attachments, these are not filters. There are screw-on telephoto adapters and wide-angle adapters to change your lens's field of view. But they are junk and their use is not advised. The can even do damage to your lens because of their weight. And they don't sharpen or improve quality. Actually they can negatively affect images.
