I'm after a polarising and UV filter for my digital camera.

What should I be looking when buying and what price am I looking to pay?

Thanks
Andy

You need a Circular polariser so the AF is not affected. Other than that, it comes down to brands and filter size. Top pro brands like can be damn expensive; I chose Hoya. For 67mm size, Jessops list price was over £50 for these two items. I eventually found mine on eBay for about £15
Hence, unless you really want the ultimate, I think eBay is fine for normal use.
Anoter option is to use square filters like the Cokin system.
