Every time I shoot (video mode) with a 58mm lens filter of any type on my EF 50mm 1:1.4 lens, there is a noticable reflection in view. But I can't shoot without a filter (I always use polarized) because I can't get them to look that good in an editing program. My whites are too bright in outdoor shooting, and the only way I can see the sky is if I make the rest of the scene too dark. A polarizing filter seems to be the only thing that fixes that.
Are there any other filters or accessories I can use instead of the 58mm filters? I know it'd look better if the filter was closer to the lens since the lens is sort of concave... would smaller filters fit?
Or better yet, is there a way to balance my lighting & color in outdoor settings that doesn't require a filter?
I've already tried changing the ISO, exposure, etc. and the white balance. Still no luck.
(My camera is a Canon EOS Rebel T2i with an EF 50mm 1:1.4 lens, shooting in video mode.)
