[QUOTE="Mediaman09, post: 404315, member: 9503"] So I just picked up three filters (sized to fit my largest lens) and step up rings for the smaller lenses. [B]Settled on HOYA [/B]as a good fit between higher end B&W and lower quality options. Cameron was also an option locally, lots of Canadian dealers seem to push them .. and they may be great...but very hard to find user experience or web info on them, so seems a bit risky. Only web site I found was via a dealer (!) : [URL="http://www.henrys.com/cameron.aspx"]Cameron at Henry's - Henry's best camera store in Canada[/URL] Ended up ordering though [B]B&H Photo.[/B] Those guys are awesome. Ordered Sunday morning and its delivered to my cross the border door on this morning, 3 days later. Hope I selected correctly: :)[INDENT] For [B]ND [/B]- got the NDX 400 ($69). Says ND400 on the box, but apparently its the same filter?? For [B]CP [/B]- heard good things about both HD vs the pricier Pro1... but the PRo1 was on sale ($63) vs $94 for the HD, so I got the Pro1. Locally the Cameron CP was $120. For [B]PROTECTIVE, [/B]I know their are two camps on this and know I dont need UV filtering for digital sensors. For now, I picked a $20 Hoya alpha (multicoated UV). Not a big investment if it turns out to be a waste, but I am curently in the inexpreienced-want-protection camp for my new Signa 10-20mm wide angle. Local Cameron was $55.
