Product Description

Product Description
Sakar 77mm 3-Piece Polarizer/UV/F-DL Filter Kit, Metal Rim with Leather Case, 15 Year Warranty<br>UV: A UVfilter protects your camera's lens from scratches, dust, dirt, moisture and fingerprints, while reducing unwanted ultra-violet light. Cameras are more sensitive to ultraviolet light than our eyes are. A blue haze may appear in pictures taken when there is excessive UV light. A UV filter can reduce atmospheric haze when it is caused by blue radiation and ultraviolet. Since our eyes cannot see thispart of the spectrum, UV filters, also known as skylight or haze filters, are recommended for all outdoor shooting.<br>Fluorescent: The F-DL fluorescent light correction filter provides the perfectsolution for obtaining pleasing skin tones and correct color while shooting without a flash under fluorescent lighting. This filter gives true-to-life color rendition by removing the harsh yellow-green cast ordinarily resulting from fluorescent bulbs. When shooting under natural light, a fluorescent filter dramatically increases color saturation of subjects such as sunrises and sunsets.<br>Polarizer: Polarizers let you deepen and intensify blue skies, achieve vibrant color saturation, reduce or eliminate glare and reflections from non-metallic objects and glass surfaces, and minimize haze. The filter can be rotated to determine the amount of reflection to be removed. Rotate the polarizer to change blue sky densities from light to dark blue, and create dramatic contrast between blue skies and white clouds.

5.0 out of 5 stars Filer kit to have, August 7, 2008

By	Oleg K (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

Filter kit for 77mm I use with Sigma 24-60 f/2.8 lens. Filters are everything I expected. They fit smoothly on the thread, glass quality is high. UV and polarizing filters do the job flawlessly. I didn't test F-filter extensively yet, but initial shots came out properly corrected.
I am satisfied with Sakar and will not hesitate to save money in the future and go with this brand. And nice touch - filter kit came with a very nice hard leather case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Low cost filter kit that does the job, June 9, 2009

By	S. lal (LosAngeles, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was looking for an inexpensive yet quality filter kit for my new 77mm 12-24mm lens. I have only used the UV filter as protection and the polarizer for landscape photos. No problems were found. The quality seems good thus far. I don't know if I'll ever use the fluorescent filter.
