I mostly shoot on black and white film and I would like some filters maybe some ND Grads and a Red filter. I know that many people say its better wait and buy a brand like Lee but it would be years until I have the funds or that if ever. I don't have or use expensive equipment and mostly I've been happy with my collection of thrifted and toy cameras as I'm not someone looking for a pristine image.
Advice elsewhere seems to imply better to use no filter than a Cokin P series for example but are they really that awful?
