[QUOTE="Claudia!, post: 56310, member: 8139"] I have been looking into filters for the last few months. I bought some a few weeks back from best buy but returned them because they came with too much lint and looked very much used. I went to the Houston Camera Exchange today. I spoke with a salesperson. The brand he advised was "promaster." I went previously but I was advised filters by B+H that costs between $60-110. This time around, the UV filters where $10-15 and the CP where $40-60. The rep told me that because I had "low quality" lenses that I did not need to buy very expensive filters. He said those filters should be good enough. If I went with a higher end brand or more expensive, that my lenses will not be able to see through it and the quality of image would be worse. I found his info to be sketchy, maybe because he was rushing me off because the store was packed. I asked another guy and he reassured me that what he said was true. Does anyone have any information to add to this? My equipment is below. I have always heard that if you invest so much on your equipment, why put a cheap filter on it? I bought the filters to try them out. I actually really liked them but then again I have never used a filter before. I just feel like maybe I should have spent more on the filters. I thought this was a question that the members of nikonites could answer. lol. [/QUOTE]
