I've never been able to afford "high quality" filters.  The el-cheapo ones 
DO degrade the image slightly.  I noticed this by removing a filter, 
looking through the viewfinder, and then holding the filter up to the lens.  
I could see a noticable difference.  Then, I took some test shots...  
same scene, one photo with a filter and another photo without.  The 
shot with the filter on was slightly fuzzier than the filterless one.

So, since then (about 4 months ago), I've been shooting without a filter.  
My results appear to be slightly sharper than before.  Now, all I hafta do 
is work on my composition and exposure skills!  :-)))

Regards,

Chris
