Great value for a good quality filter kit. The seller has sent it with a 72-74mm ring adapter to fit in the Sony DSC-H9. I would recommend this product.

Probably very good quality product BUT ... was dissapointed as it attaches to to flared hood, NOT directly to the lens which I desired

The 3 filter lens don't fit with my Sony Digital Camera H9 and require a step-down conversion which was not mentioned in the product description. Although it was sent along but didn't work at all so the 3 filter lens have been sitting idle. Very bad experience.

I was pleased about the product but the service was a little slow. The seller did contact me to let me know so that is why it is a 4 star instead of a 5 star.

I was surprised to find out that the filters have to screw on the end of the hood using an adapter (I made the mistake of not reading all of the reviews first). The adapter was included, fortunately. I have an H50, and though the adapter and filters all fit on nicely, when I am zoomed out as far as I can go, my shot includes a little bit of the metal rings in each of the corners. This means that I either can't zoom in all the way, or I have to crop my pictures later. There is also a tendency to have quite a bit of glare when shooting in the general direction of a light source. Even when not pointing directly at the source. You have to be very careful when aiming or (as I often do) reach out with a hand to block the light from falling on the filter lens. Sometimes I don't catch it though, and an otherwise perfect picture will have a glare smudge in an un-croppable place, which is quite annoying.

That said, the polarized filter is my favorite since I do a lot of nature and outdoor shots. It's particularly good with water and skies. I don't notice a lot of difference with the UV filter, though it may help reduce glare and I just haven't noticed. The one for fluorescent lights works nicely as advertised, reducing the green tint, though since I do mostly outdoor shots, I don't tend to use it much.

Overall, they're helpful enough for the price, but I'll be looking for something better to replace them.

The lenses came in a little black felt lined box with separators to keep the lenses from touching one another. An adaptor ring for my Cony Cybershot DSC - H9 doesn't fit into the case, but that's no problem since I generally leave it screwed onto the lens adaptor. I am very pleased with my purchase and already got some great sunset shots.

Works great. Glad to get filter and dynamic colors back into pictures with out post processing. Finally getting closer to SLR film days I miss.

Living at the shore, these lenses have helped with photography of sunsets and the animals too! Love taking a picture I can enjoy of the sunsets!

The quality of the filters is ok, they work as advertised; but to fit it in my Sony dsc-h50 I had to use an adapter ring (included in the package); it is quite difficult to focus with a filter on and is even worse if it gets dirty, also i have to zoom a little bit otherwise I can see the edge of it on my pictures.

The filters don't fit properly. They fit to the hood on the camera and not onto the lens and still it's not a snug fit. Even with the adapter ring it's just way to much fiddling. I want it a tight fit so I'm not worried about what the filter is doing while I'm taking pictures. I wrote to the seller a week ago to make sure it was ok that I return the product with no response. If your serious about wanting to take great pictures then I suggest you just suck it up and pay the cost to purchase the filters made by Sony. That's what I plan on doing. Cause it seems like I'm gonna have to eat part of the cost of these even if they do take them back.
