Hi all,
I've recently purchased a lens hood / filter adapter for my X100. I don't have any filters yet, and I'm wondering how much of a difference in quality there is between cheaper and more expensive filters. My considerations are:
-Resolution. The X100 has a modest 12mp sensor; will a low-quality filter degrade the resolution?
-Flare / ghost images / aberrations etc. The less the better ofcourse!
-Durability (including scratch resistance). Is there a difference here? Or are all filters more or less equally durable?
-Size; the smaller the better.
-For polarizing filters: polarizing ability.
The price differences between a cheap filter on eBay and a big-name brand can be substantial and any money I spend is coming out of my travel budget, so I'd really like to keep the costs down...
I'd love to hear your thoughts on this, not only regarding filters on the X100 but also just in general
