I reckon it would be a pain to try and screw them onto the lens each time. And much more difficult to stack them.

The adapter that goes on the front is easy to screw on, and then you can slide the filters in and out and stack them as much as you want. And when you turn the camera on the side, just turn the adapter on its side.

Thank you Mike,and other gentleman for your kindly and informative replies.

Your thoughts Mike,really help.-I not considered the aspects given.

But,it certainly something I would very seldom use.But an image like your 'Orange Dawn' would be something I'd like have an attempt at achieving,and
having a large print done.

At $32 for the 'knock-off' set,I think I'll get them and have a play. If I lived near beach or I depended on good filters that got
used all the time,I'd certainly buy a better brand.

Thanks again
