Wow, GMCloud! Don't know what to say...except a sincere thank you for the detailed response and help.
I knew the ones I was looking at were cheap (in price and quality), but you really put in in perspective for me with the good car comparison you made, something I am much better at understanding.
Some of those quality brands (B&W, Hoya, Tiffen, etc) that you listed I actually recognize through some of my research and reading on the subject, but what I was still left wondering was, are they available for a camera like mine, which requires that tube adapter? I was never able to find any of those better filters that would work with that tube adapter, unless I am just flat missing them. Or, are those better brands made for SLR only?
Thanks again for your help and effort, it is very much appreciated.
