Tele Lens Filter
Tele Lens Filter

Wide - Tele Lens. Is it worth buying non branded?
Greetings,
I just bought a Rebel XT by Canon. I saw these filters and lens for a good price on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140282996186 Now my question is the lens are not branded Canon so I don't know where they are made and what quality of result I will be getting. Would you buy these kind of non-branded lens?
And what about the filter that are used for UV and Polarization? Are they worth having on?
Those alleged "lenses" are NOT lenses. They are cheap screw-in attachments and not worth the money. All they are good for is degrading your image.
Don't waste your money on unknown filters. They are of poor quality and will likely fall apart in a year or less. A fluorescent filter is used with film cameras and is not needed on a DSLR with its built-in white balance.
Buy name brand filters such as B+W, Heliopan, Tiffen, Singh-Ray, Hoya. Always remember, quality doesn't cost, it pays.
Really, the only 2 filters you need are a UV/Haze filter to protect the front element of your lens and a polarizer filter. Use the polarizer to darken a blue sky and remove glare/reflections from glass, water, snow, sand and painted metal - but not polished metal.
For the record, I have lenses that are 35 years old and their front elements are still perfect because they have been protected with a UV filter. Its much cheaper to replace a damaged filter than it is a lens.
