Again, generic != substandard. It's maybe more like ensuring that you've got the full set of filters, rather than just the ones that fit your lenses...

I have NO misconceptions mate. I've learned, the hard way, time and time again that in general and with very few exceptions that generic does equal lesser value for one's dollar and in particular in the world of photography. I'm a professional photographer and have been for over 29 years and I'm telling you straight that I will be a cold day in hell when I put a generic lens on any of my Nikons, Pentax 6x7 or my Hasselblad H3. The lens are simply not designed to the same tolerances nor is the optic reproduction anywhere near as faithful. If you enjoy your photographs with multiple aberrations then by all means use a "generic" lens set. As far as filters go, don't ever cheap out on filters - go big or stay home because your lens is only as good as the bloody filter you stick on the bloody end of your lens and if it's some cheap ass knock-off then you might as well chuck the whole thing.
Enough said - I'm bored already.
