    Default UV filters and polarizers, are they all about the same?

    Who makes the best UV and polarizing filters? Are they all about the same? I'm looking at the cheap UV and polarizing filters at B&H for about $50. Adorama also has a kit where a Tiffen filter is only about an extra $8. Just looking for a quick and good way to get started if you have any suggestions.

    This Hoya filter set looks like a fairly good deal, a 3 stop ND filter, a +1.3 stop polarizer which were mentioned on the podcast, as well as a multi-coated UV filter. Multi-coated is good right? I'm not sure if the ND filter and polarizer are worth it though. Maybe they're too low end to really be useful?

    Also some kits include a warming filter, but I guess this is pointless if you can just adjust white balance in camera right?
