Regarding close up filters, I have an additional question. Has anyone 
in the list used close-up filters with which they have been pleased? 
Some list members have hinted that the Vivitar close up filters are 
of a superior optical quality. What in the list members opinion would 
be the "best" quality close up filters? Do others like Hoya, Tiffen 
or Cokin also have close up filters? I had once clicked a few 
photographs with a set of close up filters and the results were far 
inferior to those compared to macro lenses. 
Regds,
Arnab.
