Hello Paul, welocome to a friendly & helpful site!

I have bought quite a few filters on ebay over the last few years, 90% all good branded (Hoya etc) examples. As Pete says the 'pro' versions seem to be just thinner/lighter versions. I would not be without my Hoya CP and my grey grad filters, a hangover from film days - but I find the useful. There are many good ebay sellers in the UK - just look at thier DETAILED feedback!

I went into our local Jessops today and almost lost the will to live, but will go online, with the D BG2 cheap as well as the 50-200 my £100 cash back from SRS will almost pay for both! (Santa brought me a k20 for being a good boy this year)

I'm with David too, it seems hard to find a 'way in' to the fortnighly comp. Perhaps the gallery could have a link to the fortnightly comp?
