Tiffen filters are very good quality. There are some feedback comments for the seller that would make me wary of buying from them. $50.00 sounds kind of high for those filters - the clear one itself sells for only 9.95 at B&H Photo.

Although the seller has them listed for the FZ20, the auction says nothing about the size of the filters, nor does it mention an adapter tube. As you can read in other posts in this forum, you cannot use such filters on the FZ without an adapter tube, and what size? - the ebay seller doesn't even say what size the filters will be.
