I bought these shortly after I bought my Olympus E-420 back in May of 2008, I would not recommend these to anyone because they are nothing more than cheap off-brand filters. It said in the title that they were the Olympus brand but by the time I had received them and realized I had been lied to the seller had changed the title so that the word Olympus was not even in the title anymore although my invoice still had the original title on it so I contacted the seller but they were no help...after all they got their money so who cares who they lied to. But anyways, if you're wanting a cheap set of filters these are it, but you can find them cheaper elsewhere. Don't be fooled, they are not a high quality brand like Olympus as it states...if it still states that, it changes back and forth all the time.

Olympus does not make filters.

These filters are total junk. They are NOT MULTI-COATED. Look at the reflections off the glass in the picture! Coatings are supposed to minimize reflections, these filters reflect like an uncoated piece of tinted glass.

These are pure junk, worse than useless, the reflections from the filter will appear in your picture.

For whatever reason, camera accessory sellers make crazy claims about quality, I have yet to purchase a good filter via Amazon or Ebay.

When it comes to filters, I suggest you buy from your local camera shop. At least go into a camera shop and ask to see a high end filter so you know what a good filter looks like! Once you know, you will be able to spot fakes like these in a nanosecond.

I ordered these filters knowing they were not Tiffen or Cokin and did not expect a high dollar filter. I was very surprised to see they were very well made. The filters are made in Japan and have a good feel and look to them. They came in a really nice plastic case that is felt lined. When I used the filters I did not experience any problems with picture quality. I do not use these filters all the time because my digital cameras can be adjusted to do the same thing as the filter. These filters simply give me more control when I need it. For the money I am very pleased with filters and recommend them to anyone with reasonable expectations.

I have only used the UV filter so far. Have had them for almost a year. Been to the deserts of Arizona and Rainforests of Costa Rica and could tell a difference immediately in the pictures. Very nice, easy to use and well worth the money.

Bought this 3 piece filter set mostly for the Polarizer lens, and it was really worth the price, just for this lens. Already had the UV, and haven't used the fluorescent yet. But have been able to take some knockout sunset photographs using the Polarizer & the sunset setting on my EVOLT 410. It was worth the cheap price for this alone. Nice having the little holder for the filter lens too.

Purchased for my husband, he has used & said he likes both. Since he is pretty picky that's a compliment.

These are great. I have no negative things to say about them. Of course, they are inexpensive and thus housed in a cheap flimsy box, but that is not a real problem for me.
