Got this really good filter kit from BH photo
HOFIK46 - 46mm FILTER INTRDCTN KIT (UV/CP/WARM)

Includes a UV, Circular Polarizer and Warming Filter. So far results are very good. One caution - direct sunlight may cause a filter light flare if direct in view - watch it carefully.

Kit was only $49. Was a great buy - high quality multi-coated uniform glass reduces reflections.

Whats your filter experience?

CP filter will be a major pain to put on and get it off on the recessed lens. It's almost impossible to do it in the field, as you will need something like needle nose players or large tweezers.
What I did is to jerry rigged Matte Box+French Flag 4 Wide angle lens 37mm-82mm @TOP@ - eBay (item 260521379871 end time Dec-11-09 08:40:36 PST) (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260521379871#ht_1861wt_1284) this unit through 46-52 and 52-58 rings (the last one you have to press in) and started using Cokin P filters.

Robert, can you post a photo of the camera with your Matt box rigging?
Also, from all your posts - I figured you gave up on this Camera and sold it..
