I've spent way too much.
When I first went digital I bought a bunch of filters, like yellow filters, red filters, warming filters, enhancing filters, etc. for my lenses only to learn they are useless with digital.
Now I have CP filters for for all my lens sizes (58mm, 62mm and 77mm). I have a Clear filter for my 50mm for when I use it at the beach for night/star photography.
I have 0.6 & 0.9 ND and GND filters for my 50mm lens which I have decided to use for landscapes instead of buying a 24mm or 35mm.

All the filters I have came with the lenses. They are still in their pouches.

6 = $520 I now only use the two circular polarizers at 52mm and 77mm. I have a warming filter from film days and three UV filters that are used only when shooting conditions are "scratchy".

Jethro, what lenses come with filters?
Or is it places like Cameta that throw stuff in to sweeten the deal? ;-)

3 B+W filters (Kaesermann's) about $300 - I am not ashamed! This is what I use now.
I also have a 6 or 7 for my FD glass from the 70's and 80's that's sitting in the closet with my A-1 and a whole bunch of lenses. I am just waiting for Christies' auction house to call me one day and make me rich :roll:

Of regular screw-on filters, I only have a couple UV filets (Don't use any longer), a couple CP filters and 1 ND. Probably have around $250 invested total. However, I also have about a dozen square, drop-in style Cokin filters which I bought many years ago. Back then, I probably spent a couple hundred on those. So a guestimate would be around $400-$500 total over the years.
