Cheap Filters, yay or nay?

[soufiej]

Overall, avoid kits. They always include crap you don't need and stuff that is totally worthless. The higher the number of things included, the higher the chances you don't need that stuff.

OMG, fewer than three dozen words! And, every single word well chosen. Spot on!

All my words are "well chosen", Derrel.

They are, however, sometimes poorly read.

If you shoot a lot of long exposures with an ND filter I would vote "nay" on the cheap filter
but it doesn't hurt much to try the $5 ebay filters
