Hi all, I’m wondering if there is a table or a hard and fast rule as to the specific depths that require a red, magenta or other colour filter on your lenses? Are they truly worth it, in terms of picture quaility?
cheers

Range of depth for red filters

They are worth it for sure - unless you are using lights. Red especially.
But it's hard to give a precise view on at what depth a specific filter colour might be needed. It depends so much on the visibility, water colour (green or blue) and levels of turbidity.
That said, I'm sure someone will come up with a rough guide..... watch this space!

For stills or video?

With a "good water clarity", I tend to use red filters only below 20 meters or if possible I swapped my OLPF for and H2O model (on Red cameras for example).
