I purchased these filters after getting my hands on my new Sony Camcorder. I had previously purchased another Tiffen filter set here for my Sony FD97 with great results. This set gives me all the flexability I need, at a very resonable price. If you're thinking about a filter set, I HIGHLY reccomend this set. You can't go wrong.

I use this set with my Olympus E-10 and thus far the results are awesome.... recently my boyfriend and I went for a trip into the mountains and both took a bunch of pictures of animals.... I used these filters and my pictures were perfect! He just used a UV filter with his camera and his came out over exposed on most of his shots due to the bright sun that day.... Great results under a variety of photographic shooting....

I purchased this filter pack with high hopes. Granted, it's a low end pack of three filters, so I didn't expect world class optics. What I did expect is that I'd be able to use these filters out of the box without having to clean them. Straight of the box, they were covered in dust, pieces of cardboard, and in some cases even grease and fingerprints. (Literally, you could have used the prints on one of the filters to convict someone)

After cleaning, and drying with a very soft, clean cloth, I discovered a number of scratches.

I contacted the company via email and a very nice, very polite rep got back to me. WONDERFUL service (which is the only reason this review isn't a 1 star), but unfortunately the second, and then the third replacement they sent me were also filthy and scratched. On the first and second rounds, the black filters actually had multiple dings in the metal, revealing the underlying silver color.

The service rep told me each time that he had personally inspected the filters before sending them out. Each time, they've arrived less than expected. The last time around, he promised a nice gift I was sure to like. For a company who makes filters as a primary business, I expected he'd drop me an extra filter or two. Instead he send me a garment bag marked from some photographer's organization. Very strange.

I finally gave up after round 3. I'm accepting them. Lesson learned - don't buy Tiffen.

everything are of great quality, the pouch and the filters. fit great on my 37mm to 46mm step-up ring.

Tiffen 52mm Deluxe 3 Filter Kit
I ordered this based on a friend's recommendation. Amazon did a great job in shipping the product in a timely fashion. When I received the product I opened the box to find the filter pack contained in the carrying pouch inside another box. So, the wrapping was sufficient to protect all the contents. Some of the problems I experienced was some dust and residue on the lenses. This was easily removed with a lense cloth. I had no problems installing the filters on the camera lense. The real shocker was the kit as displayed on Amazon shows three filters. One is a UV filter, one a Neutralizer .6, and one (depending on which picture is viewed) a Circular Polarizer or and FL-D filter. I fully expected the Polarizer to be in the kit. So, if you are looking for UV and Polarizer filters in this kit be careful. What you see is not what you get. The pictures provided on Amazon clearly show the Polarizer filter with the kit in the last two photo shots of the product. I am rating a 3 star based on that issue. Other than that surprise, I am satisfied with my purchase, the price, and free shipping.

I ordered a kit that included a circular polarizing filter. this filter was the main reason for ordering the kit, but it was not included in said kit. what came in the package was the also advertised UV filter, a fluorescent light filter, and something else that I had absolutely no need for. I see that I am not the only buyer who has had this same issue. The worst part of the whole thing is that I was just outside of the 30-day return period when I got back from my trip - during which i had planned to use the polarizer - and Amazon made it seem like they were doing me a huge favor by making the exception to accept the return. they did not apologize as expected for what was truly an inconvenience. I will admit that the return was very quick, but amazon partially penalized me in the process because I used accumulated points to cover part of this purchased. they have not credited this amount nor have they explained when it will appear on my balance and how I am to access this.

To sum up, this experience was a hassle. My advice is that readers purchase the filters individually even if it seems like it is more expensive and check reviews to make sure that there are no false-advertizing issues associated with the product. This has become a common deal. I guess that Amazon can't keep up with all of their 3rd party providers. But perhaps they can provide improved customer service, weed out bad providers, and prevent bad practices.

Read carefully. This package includes these three filters.

Light balancing / neutral density / UV protection

The Polarizing filter is extra.

I purchased this basic filter kit for my Panasonio FZ-28 camera. They arerrived quickly in a nice case - could not have been easier. These filters seem very nice and have added to the color qulaity of the pictures I have taken.

Occasionally useful filters for specialized situations. Be sure that each of the three fits your need or select a different kit. Tiffen makes good economy grade filters.

This is a very functional set that all cameras should use. The three lens set will probably be the most used of any filters. Great price and delivery.
