Product Description

Product Description

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 Great Value!, February 27, 2008

By	Sean Barron (Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This filter set is a great value.

The only complaint I have is why put a FL filter in the set? Most any digital camera will be able to compensate for this in the WB menu w/o having to add another element, (and chance for distortion), to the lens. Trying to dump old inventory I guess. Would have rather had a ND or even something fun like a soft focus or star filter included.

Othewise, the polarization and the UV filters work great.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not What I hoped, October 6, 2008

By	Kurt R. Ovard (Salt Lake City, UT USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Product arrived quickly and as advertised. No problem there, but the CPL filter is a major
disappointment. It fuzzes all images, regardless of the lens I use it with. Not what I had hoped for.

By	K. R. Mitchell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The filters I purchased are a great value. Very good filters for the price. I especially like the polarizer.
