I don't use 'em but you might feel a little better (I saw your post that you can't get Hoya or Tiffen where you are) if you read this on http://www.2filter.com: "The Sunpak filters, are an excellent value, compared to many similar Tiffen and Hoya filters. Sunpak filters are made of solid glass versus Tiffen laminated glass filters. In our opinion solid optical glass filters are the better way to go. Quality has always been very important to us, at The Filter Connection. We think the above Sunpak filters are worthy of your comparison." See:

I'm worry about the image quality outcome of the pictures with the filter on. coz the Sunpak are one of the cheapest filters around. but I'm surprise of the nice packaging that their filters come with.

I'm sure we hear many people where complaining of the issues like clarity, CA etc with a cheap filter on...

The glass is important and so is the coating. If you want superior light
transmission and better flare control, get a quality filter like the Hoya MC,
Hoya SMC(my favorite), or B&W MC.

Much of the concern is overblown.
