Product Description

Lens filters are translucent pieces of glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera, and more importantly to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve photographs by giving you control over light and allowing you to emphasize the features of a scene that you consider most important. This filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without. PLEASE NOTE: Some cameras require an adapter tube to fit the filters. This filter set is compatible with the following camera models: Canon PowerShot G9, PowerShot Pro 1

I ordered these filters based on positive reviews and was pleasantly surprised. I was searching for a low cost polarizer, but the case, UV and fluorescent filter turned out to be very nice extras. I am mounting the filters on a point & shoot Canon PowerShot SX20IS using a 58mm Filter Adapter from Cowboy Studios. The Canon has a fairly strong 20x zoom (560mm 35mm equiv) but I'm not able to discern any obvious image quality problems with the filters even with a fully extended lens. The polarizer works as expected, the fluorescent filter brings out warm color under cool temp CFLs and the clear UV filter is a nice piece of lens protection.

I'm sure there are good photographers that can locate and point out aberrations with this low cost set, but for my use with a higher end point & shoot superzoom the resulting images are great. This purchase exceeds my expectations. The filters are made by Zeikos.

I'll tell you what, slapping one of these on the front of my lens, i was skeptical. However, i went shooting in an dark club like atmosphere with little lighting using the Fluorescent Light Filter (light purple). I was shocked as to how close i got to real skin tones using this filter under the conditions. No halos, no streaking lights effects, got every shot that i wanted...CLEAN. On top of that, they deliver to Afghanistan in like a week. I'm a PA officer serving with the USAF.

Thanks!

Delivery was quick. Used polerizing filter the first day I received package. Was surprised at how well it worked. The sky was a beautiful blue, clouds were an astounding white, it also increased the hue of other colors. I am so pleased with the purchase and would highly recommend it to anyone.
