IMHO, what's the deal of getting cheap filter if You spend a lot of money on Your lens. OTOH, what's the idea of putting an expensive or any filter on cheap lens, when it's not a special fx filter? just some thoughts.
Which 72mm polarizer lens is best?

You also have to watch out for vignette when you are shooting 18mm. A thicker filters can be seen at the wide angle so it is best to buy a thin filter to avoid this problem. I used the Nikon 72mm on my 18-200 and it was an excellent filter, quite expensive but very good.Harriet I believe Alchemy's point is the most valid and you probably won't find an inexpensively made thin 72mm polarizing filter.

I quite agree with Adamz, and I will add that when working, I would have my gear confiscated by local authorities and jostled in my bags. It would be common for lens caps to be off and lenses to 'free range': Lens protection can mean different things to different people - my version includes having my bags in custody of others. Those filters protected my lenses from getting scratched.
Some won't go to hostile extremes, but an ounce of prevention.
My best,
Mike

Well as I went ahead an ordered the Kenko I just hope it isn't too thick. I can just see that if it is I have probably spent more money than I would have on a really top class filter by being a Scrooge. It is true, we spend so much on good lenses so it is foolish to put just any make filter on them. We live and learn.
