I can't see any brand names there and for that price it seems way too cheap for 4 filters, so no I wouldn't personally.

 

[Jonny1*2]

what names should i be looking for ian?

 

[Ian]

I'm not sure tbh pal, but if you get a cheap filter it can totally mess up your photos. I own a Hoya polarising filter, most people seem to rate them - cost me about £15 I think. Can get a bit expensive though, so it depends how much you want to spend. Next on my list are probably some Cokin Graduated Density filters.

I'm sure someone else will be able to give you a decent answer though.

I got a free no name filter for one of my lenses when i bought it, and the only thing it is good for is being used as a dust cap.
All my lenses have B&W filters on. No point in buying nice glass and sticking rubbish stuff in front of it.

 

[Jonny1*2]

so basically buying filters of the bay is a no no

Buying the cheapest ones you can find yes. You can get good prices on high end filters from Hong Kong still, just need to know what your looking for.

Hoya DMC and B&W are a good start. Need to check what types of coating they have.

 

[Jonny1*2]

how do you mean by coating? PL and UV etc?

 

[unofficialPete]

No, like Hoya have a DMC range or Digital Multi-Coated filters and B&W have MRC or Multi Resistant Coating, just a sign that they are higher quality.

 

[Jonny1*2]

ah ok ta. what's a good price for uv and pl filters?

 

[unofficialPete]

Depends, back in the day Jessops took me for my money and I foolishly paid £30 for a home branded 58mm CPL (you'll get a top of the line Hoya DMC for that money on eBay now). Then recently I paid £44 for a 77mm B&W MRC UV filter which I'm very happy with but then again it is protecting a pricey lens.

Just depends how much your willing to spend and the intended use, if your just messing around a cheap bundle might be worth it.

Also what lens have you got with a 52mm thread?

 

[Jonny1*2]

got the d40 (well will do next week) with the 18-55mm lense

 

[unofficialPete]

then unless I'm mistaken you'll want to be looking for 58mm thread filters...

 

[Jonny1*2]

hmmm, i'll double check.

 

[Jonny1*2]
