I don't want to argue with Changing, but in this life you get what you pay for.

If you buy a filter from China for £3 (incl. postage) and it doesn't stack up to the Lee equivalent at £80 are you really going to be surprised.

To an extent I might agree that, for the price, it might be a good idea to buy a bunch of Chinese filters to check out the effect and decide what you really need. Then, if you want to maintain the max allowable quality with your camera and lens combination, start thinking about procuring something a little more up-market. You don't say what lenses you are using and, frankly, that's more important to quality than the camera. But, if you're using good glass then think about Cokin or HiTech (maybe Kood), if you're really spending a lot of money on your optics then Lee is going to be your choice.
