[QUOTE="Blade Canyon, post: 404494, member: 15302"] Looks like you got a good selection. You are correct about UV and digital sensors, but most studies say that so long as you have a high quality protective filter, there will be no noticeable decrease in your image quality. I only know a few pro togs, but all three of them say to use a protective filter. As for the polarizer, that takes 1.5 stops from your light, so only use it in daylight when it gives you a great advantage to cut glare and really darken up those skies. They work best when used at a right angle to the sun, or you can use it to cut glare from a pond or other reflective surface. In autumn, the CP will really help you get the rich colors from fall foliage by cutting the glare. The ND is good for deliberate long exposures, but you probably won't use it as much as you think, unless you're shooting waterfalls or fountains to get a silky water effect, or shooting public places to "erase" the crowd. As for vignetting, just test it on each lens. An FX lens should not vignette on a crop sensor, even with all the filters stacked, but you may discover otherwise. Only way to know is to shoot it.
