Product Description

The digital high-definition polarizer filter for a 52mm lens eliminates unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass and also saturate colors to provide better contrast, such as making clouds stand out against the sky. This particular polarizer is made specifically for digital SLR cameras.

Not too bad for a cheap set of filters. I'd like to shake the hand of the genius who thought to include the lens cap since the standard Nikon cap goes too deep when affixed, and could potentially scratch the filters.

The resolution on these is actually better than I expected.

Unfortunately, they don't work on my 55-200mm VR lens, but I didn't expect them to (bummer. I wanted that VR to really help). However, they do work great on my non-VR 18-55mm kit lens. Keep in mind, if stacked, they will cause some serious vignetting at the 18mm end --it's to be expected at the wide-angle, and if you really want to, crop it out, but I find it clears at around 20-25mm.

All-in-all, I'd say this is a good product for the price, and if nothing else, this series of filters is a good alternative to dumping a mountain of money on one of the upper-end macro lenses out there for people who just want to play around with macro photography.

I enjoy taking higher resolution closeups of things I create. The three lenses and lense cap were what I hoped for without spending a high amount.
I've been able to take pictures without a tripod under natural lighing outdoors or under florscent lights indoors.

Cheap and wonderful. I use these with a Nikon D40 SKR and they are great. Honest.
