I just bought 4 used filters from bhphoto.com and 3 of them did not come in any holder or container or anything. They just came in a plasitc ziploc type of bag.

Since I still considered my self new to photography, I dont know any tricks. Is there any tips or tricks to keeping the filters safe without the container? Also do they just sell the container by itself?

I would try getting biger filters like 72, 77, or 81 and using step up rings so that you dont have to buy as many filters.
I remember reading somewhere that if you use a filter too big you might throw off the AF and exposer metering or something because too much light is coming in the lense itself.

Also filters that size cost $$$ compaired to what i paid for mine
