PROS:
> Exceptional price for three filters
> FLD filter gives a nicer feeling to pictures
> CPL filter gives a clearer look to pictures
> UV filter helps keep my lens clean
> Comes with a nice little pouch to store them in

CONS:
> Filters were dirty when I opened the box
> The metal housings are very, very cheaply made. One wrong move and they can get stripped or worn down

I have to say, these are actually decent filters, despite their cheap price. I especially love the CPL filter. I was sure it would just be like a dark screen but it proved me wrong. I was able to get a very nice sky/cloud combo. The other filters are nice too. I love looking through the FLD. Makes reality a lot more colorful!

Overall, I love this set and I'd definitely buy it again. I'd just wish I could get some clean lenses next time.

These are very decent filters for the price, however it's very, VERY easy to cross-thread them if you aren't careful. I haven't done it, but I've come very close to, and it would suck. I haven't used the Flourescent filter yet, I've only used the UV and the Polarize filter. They work great.

If you need a decent cheap set of filters, grab these.

When I ordered these filters I hoped they woulod fit my camera. The package includes adapter rings for many sizes.
I stacked the UV and polarizing filters and found they worked as I expected. I also dropped my HD camera lens first and the lenses were covered with grass and dirt. The camera lens was protected. Quite pleased.

Pros:
-Cheap. As I write this, the price of the filters are at $6.50, about half of what I paid for it.
-CPL works pretty well

Cons:
-UV filter is NOT multi-coated. Not sure how amazon gets away advertising it as MC. (see pictures) This leads to ghost images as you see in my sample photos.
-Case for the lenses constantly give off red lint onto the filters.
-Filters are a bit thick compared to other manufacturers.

Overall. I'd probably buy it again especially for $6.50. Just realize they are falsely advertising that it is mutli-coated. Also the sample picture does not show the ghost images at their worst. However, most of the time ghost images aren't visible with these filters.

I am not a professional and these are the first filters I've ever used, so I don't have anything to compare them to. But here is what I do know; they all work as advertised, and they don't cause any noticeable decrease in image quality that I could see(I'm using them on a Canon Vixia HF20, which is high definition, and even after viewing the images on a 52' TV, they still looked great. Also they came with a nice little filter case, although fibers from the cloth inside seem to end up on the filters. My only real complaint is that the circular polarizer doesn't turn as smoothly as I'd like, but the results are still great so I don't care. I would recommend these to anyone looking for a quality inexpensive filter set, but again; I have nothing to compare these to. Also if you are someone who wants to buy only from amazon.com, be sure to check who the seller is, because I found this set sold on here by other sellers as well.

Bought these to use with my contour helmet camera with the lens kit adapter ring. They work great and fit the adapter ring no problem. I have not really tried them out in all conditions yet but like the results so far. If you are looking for a way to clear up your images while using outside, the UV filter is your best bet. For the price, you can't beat this product!

I admit I was a little skeptical at first seeing that these filters were only about $13. I read all the reviews and decided to try these out. Since they aren't expensive, the worst that could happen if you don't like them is that you'll be annoyed. You're not losing a chunk of money. Anyway, the filters seem to be made of good quality materials, and the lens are very clear. I have only used the UV filter out of the 3 filters. I leave the UV filter on all the time to function as a lens protector. However, the other two appear to be great as well.

In my opinion, you should be running a filter on your setup if you want to protect the lens of your new camcorder/camera. With that being said, this is a great deal at a great price.

Ordered these to try on my digital camcorder. I'm not a serious photographer and have not used filters before. I figured it was worth $10 to satisfy my curiosity. I was surprised at what a noticable difference these made in my videos, especially the polarizing filter when used at the local air show. Filters came in a snazzy case and have exceeded my expectations in every way.

I was very pleased from the moment I opened these filters. They come with a nice little case. Optical quality is great. They are made of a very light metal, so you have to be careful screwing them on to not cross thread. I'd buy them again.

This is a great 3 piece filter kit, though i only use two of them, the UV and PL filters. Haven't used the UV filters extensively yet, but the PL filters work, and they work well. I brought them to Bermuda to shoot video and take pictures and they are perform very well. It takes away any non-metallic reflections, and enhances the blue color of the sky an waters. I really recommend this filter kit. Also, they're multi-coated.
