5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful pics made easy., December 29, 2000
By "fd212buff" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This is a basic pack that everyone should own. The u/v keeps your expensive lenses free of dust and scratches. The polarizer cuts the glare and cuts the washing out of colors caused by bright light. Colors come out deeper and in landscape shots the clouds jump off of my prints. The 812, when used indoors, gives things a softer, more natural look under artificial lighting. And you don't need to be an expert to know when to change filters.

3.0 out of 5 stars Watch out for vignetting, February 25, 2006
By bribri (San Rafael, CA United States) - See all my reviews
The filters are great, but the 'circular polarizer' filter causes vignetting in wide angle shooting. The small guide that comes with the lens kit mentions this vignetting -- basically to get you to upgrade to the thinner version of that filter. I just wish Amazon's product description mentioned this downside as well; it's a bit dishonest.

Anyways, the two other filters are thinner, and do not cause vignetting. Sweet little filter case too.

5.0 out of 5 stars MUST HAVE for Photographers!, October 15, 2008
By Cacsla "CACSLA" (California) - See all my reviews
Tiffen filters are truely quality. Use a filter of lesser quality and compare it to any Tiffen filter. Do this and THEN you will understand.
The sets with case are a great way to cover the basics in your lens protection and create new ideas for the creative type!
Tiffen filters are a MUST HAVE!
