I'm very happy with them, for the price the quality is very good. I'd found that the 18-55 works better without a UV-type filter, even a good one, stuck on the front.

Flickr has some interesting notion of which shots are interesting
If you want to pixel-peep then the originals should be visible.
They seem to be water resistant - I've had a few soakings in a rainstorm with no ill effect. Then again, with a £100 lens you tend to worry less about killing it through abuse.
