Why would a DSLR require different filters than used on a film camera? Personally, I think the use of "DSLR" filters is hype and just a marketing ploy.
I stopped using protective filters a long time ago, and have stuck with using good, deep lens hoods. In fact, I've sold most of my "protective" filters, keeping only a few for those times when I may be working in extremely poor conditions, i.e., sand storms in the Sahara, covering wild fires and active volcanic eruptions, photographing tsunamis from the beach. I do still have color correction and contrast filters that are sometimes used with lenses on film cameras. Boris has commented that he wants to protect his expensive glass, and I can certainly understand that. If you're nervous about you limited lenses, or any expensive lens, get very high quality filters and don't diddle around with filters "of various brands and quality ..."
