Shooting film in the old days I always used colored filters appropriate
to subject for bW and the polarizer was always on my lenses when shooting
color.. but I definitely agree with Paul on this , Dale.. I use
Photoshop Elements (10 ) .. and it is very easy and rewarding to adust
bightness, contrast ,and
tonality - and you are doing no more than adjustments you might have
made in the darkroom when processing film..
Much better, too, not to put an extra layer of glass over your excellent
Pentax glass. Also you can miss a shot fiddling too much with the
equipment in the field. But it is important to shoot in RAW.

When shooting RAW and rendering to a tonality or contrast level other than
conventional you’re not “fixing it in post.” You’re simply using the rendering
tools that make digital a great medium. Through 20 years of shooting digital
Ive tried both. Rendered effects are far superior to those achieved with
filtration, probably because there’s no loss of light and in part because the
digital conversion process is extremely flexible. Polarizers are a different
matter because they can control reflection.

I still use quite a few. Most are color filters for use when shooting
monochrome, some are effects filters such as sepia filters for shooting color.
I still use filters because I would rather get the right image in-camera than
try to fix the wrong image in post. Chacun son goût.
