What are the best brands for camera filters?
I know of Tiffen, Hoya and B+W. I’d like to buy some filter for my lens, but don’t know where to start. I'm not interested in the special effects one, just filters like UV/skylight/polarizer or ND
Thanks
PS: Where should I buy them?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.
