A good one, look at Hoya (the better series with the coatings) or B&W I'm sure you can get lucky with cheap filters but most of the time you will be missing the quality that you want for your photos. I know that the 18-55 isn't an expensive lens but when you get something like the DA*50-135 fo...

Look at the "Green Filter" range like . Cheap but not poor quality, I've had fine results from mine. They also do NDs which aren't bad either.

ND are used for a special purpose, you don't need them that often really, certainly not in the UK :lol: For landscapes you should get a set of Square GND filters like Lee, Hi-Tech, Cokin, Etc. those are more useful.

One suggestion I've had is to buy Cokin-style NDs, that way they'll fit all your lenses (and you'll probably buy more - most people end up with a good handful!) just by changing the adapter ring that attaches the filter holder to the lens. The system you want is Cokin-P, I think Lee offer filters to...

As one that has about 20 fitted circular filters, I am getting rid of at least 90% of them (so look for them in the classified section soon) and have switched to the Cokin filter system. Not only does it fit all your lenses with the inexpensive purchase of holder rings for the different lens sizes, ...

Polorizer Filter for Pentax KM - 18-55mm ?
I would probably invest in a Cokin P holder, lens adaptor (to attach the holder to your 18-55), and a couple of ND grads. If you shop around you should be able to get all that for the price of the filters in your link. Okay, you wouldn't have as many filters, but I would doubt you would use many ...

SRB-Griturn also do Cokin compatible square filters, at a more attractive price (around £37 for a holder, adaptor and two grad filters). You're also probably best off going for soft cut rather than sharp cut grads.

Here is some text about filters, read it before buying something. Lee are expensive Hi-Tech is pretty good I believe and for a soft price Cokin is the more budget one but for the price they are nice :) One problem with those square filters is the reflation on the back side so from the came...

But I still want some other filters and they are going to be Hi-tech, here take a look I looked at the website, and the company Formatt is familiar to any graphic designer that has been in the business over 25 years. The only thing to change is the move towards more photographic materials than to ...

I think I said it, they are expensive by the prices I have looked up locally, compared to the quality of product delivered. One last thing, the second part of my screen name is monk which indicates a religious state or vocation, rather than munk which is associated with a rodent. I appreciate the...

yes and this Isn't my first time I did that Photomonk *sighs relief* got it. :( My apologies for not spelling your username right, it's a number of factors that makes it simply hard for me to spell it right and for the rest there is truly nothing behind it. I can understand it that you find it an...
