Sony also has a range of expensive filters for ND and Polarize but it was under the brand of CARL ZEISS.
The good news is many Nikon and Canon users love these ZEISS filters.
So .... in overall, is Sony really that expensive in the long run? We must bare in mind when the time we crave for better performance lenses. At least one zoom lens and a wide one, 50mm probably is a must own to all photographers.

very well put bro!!! keep it up!!! although sony won't pay u for this but at least tis will shut a lot of mouths!!!
thanks for viewing, my friend ^^
at least it just justify out some myth that keep battering Sony which is expensive. Yeah~ it was expensive when you look for Carl Zeiss lenses but do we have other choices? yes~ we have a lot beside the Zeiss. At least those old Minolta were great and superbly affordable.
