SAKAR Filters...ARE they any good???	Can't Post

Looking at picking up a SAKAR 72MM close-up filter kit for my XL1. Does anyone know anything about them? Is it a good buy at $40 US?

Thanks
Rob

FWIW: the SAKAR brandname stuff I've seen is cheap junk. But a closeup lens is not complicated so it might be OK, just don't expect much. At $40 you are not out much if it is not usable. A Tiffen set (+1, +2, +4) runs about $90 or so.
