I just got some filters for my camera and wanted to see if I made good choices from those of you out there that know more about filters. So here is what I came back with after a trip to Best Buy
Diffusion Filter
Neutral Filter
Circular Polarizer Filter
I also bought a Sigma LED light and a dynex five in one light reflector kit |

I have all three, I never use diffusion filter, I'd rather add blur in Post processing then I have the option of not doing it and having the original. I use the circular polarizer alot and when I used my kit lens, which my Neutral Density filter fit it was great to get really rich colors. Good choices I think, I just never really used the diffusion one. |

| what about a graduated neutral density filter? for example blown sky, and darker buildings, would it be useful or just using a normal neutral density should be good? |

For me I use graduated Neutral Density filters more now. They help alot for really bright skies and shooting towards the sun and keep the image balanced. I found that a regular ND filter enriched the colors, but kept a more even amount of light on the sky. it also allows for longer exposures for blurred water. |

| I would say buildings can be tough to do because the filters are not cut out the same shape as a skyline and would make the building dark at the top and gradually lighter as it goes down. |

| Then there is the other question. Are they Quantaray Filters? |
