2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't meet the expectations..., October 3, 2007

At first, when anyone consider the price tag for THREE filters, one would say that it's an excellent deal. But don't be fooled.
They all fit perfectly together and fit my lens perfectly. But once you try mounting one of these filters with other brand filters, problems would appear in every direction. The Circular Polarizer filter didn't fit the HOYA UV filter, so I managed to make the Polarizer filter just stick to the UV filter. But once I tried to remove it, it just wouldn't move at all. I was then forced to buy a new HOYA Circular Filter, which was a little more expensive than these filters together, but it was worth it.

So just be sure to do more research on quality, rather than the price.

These are very poor quality filters. The quality is so poor that threads do not match to my Nikon 18-200mm VR II Lens. The polarized filter is not rotating. It sold by 47th Street Photo [...]. When I complained on quality they sent the second set that turned out to be same bad as the first one. Looks like these people do not care about their reputation.
