Looking for camera filters in Montreal? This page gathers lens filters for photographers and video shooters: UV and protection filters, circular polarizers, fixed and variable ND filters, mist filters, and filter sets for drones and action cameras. Browse by thread size, from 49mm up to 95mm, and pick the filter that matches your lens.
How to choose a lens filter
Start with the filter size. It is printed on the front or inside the lens cap of your lens, for example 52mm, 67mm or 77mm. A filter must match that thread, so always check your own lens before ordering. If you own several lenses, a step-up ring such as the PolarPro Brass Step-Up Ring 77-82mm lets you use one larger filter on a smaller lens; confirm the sizes you need first.
- UV and clear protection filters: an inexpensive layer in front of the glass against dust, fingerprints and scratches. Examples here include the Sigma DG UV Filter and the Sigma Clear Ceramic WR Protection Filter.
- Circular polarizers: reduce reflections on water and glass, deepen skies and add contrast to foliage. See the PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter.
- ND filters: cut the light so you can use slow shutter speeds or wide apertures in bright conditions. Variable ND filters, such as the PolarPro Peter McKinnon Signature Edition II Variable ND, let you adjust the strength; fixed ND sets are simpler for video and drones.
- Mist filters: soften highlights for a cinematic look, like the PolarPro 49mm Shortstache EveryDay Mist Light/PL.

Frequently asked questions
What does a camera filter do?
It changes the light reaching your sensor: protecting the lens (UV or clear), cutting reflections (polarizer) or reducing brightness (ND).
How do I find my lens filter size?
Look for the number with the diameter symbol on the lens barrel or under the front cap, such as 52mm or 77mm. Check your lens model if unsure.
What is a variable ND filter?
A filter you can rotate to change how much light it blocks, for example 2 to 5 stops, so one filter covers many lighting situations.
Do I need a UV filter?
Not for image quality on digital cameras, but many photographers keep a UV or clear filter on the lens as inexpensive protection.
