[QUOTE="westmill, post: 56314, member: 9330"] Simply buy Hoya Pro Filters. These are just first rate. The guy telling you, your lenses are not top notch is silly and rather contradictive advice. If your lens doesnt produce high defonition then to my mind it makes sense not to lose even more quality. Some of the filters, you are just paying through the nose for and your just waisting money. The hoya pro are as good as they get at any price. You cant go too far wrong with B+W either. Genraly the Pro stuff or more expensive filters use high grade glass and good multicoating for cutting down on flare and ghosting etc. One of the bigger differances though is also the thickness of the glass itself. The Hoya pro range has much thinner glass compaired to standard filters. It stands to reason, the less glass, the better. There are less defects etc. Cheap filters can lower resolution considerably and notably, even efecting autofocus performance in bad cases, since they can take away contrast to which your focus relys upon. The hoya pro range are top rate, although I think they are all vastly over priced money making pieces of equipment. The Hoya and possably B+W offer the biggest bang for your bucks though. :) [/QUOTE]
