The Zeikos 3 Piece Filter Kit includes a Ultra Violet (UV), Circular Polarizer (CPL), a Fluorescent (FLD) Filter, and a small protective "pleather" carrying case.

The filters are fairly good quality and do not effect the normal performance of my Canon VIXIA HV40 HD HDV Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom. I keep the UV Filter installed on the camera to protect the lens at all times. Since the filters are threaded, you can "stack" multiple filters onto your camera.

This is a good set at a reasonable price. Recommended!

I have to confirm what the Jan. 2010 poster said. These are the cleanest filters I too have ever bought. The company Zeikos I believe is in Japan but the filters are the expected Made in China product as even the largest name brands are now days. I went with these because Multi-Coated is critical in any filter and even more so for the HD cameras that show so much detail including glass imperfections, refractions, distortions, glare and such. If you spend $500-$1000 for a camera don't settle for anything short of Multi-Coated on your filters. The polarizer filter is the typical "rotating ring" style. If you use a wide angle lens hood/shade on your camcorder you won't be able to use that attached to the polarizer because as you rotate the ring to optimize the reduction of glare you change the position of the hood/shade where it may show in the scene. No big deal as you only use the Polarizer in limited circumstances and normally leave the UV filter on all the time. The stackable feature allowing you to leave the UV on all the time and add the polarizer or fluorescent filter when needed is a plus as well as for attaching my lens hood. Today's cameras have exceptional White Balance control and software built in for compensating for any kind of lighting sources, e.g. incandescent, fluorescent, daylight, mercury vapor, etc. so you may not need the FLD filter. But at the price this combo goes for its really a bargain not to be passed up. There are other MC filters that are higher quality than these, thus the 4 Stars, but for the money, I'm happy with the product.

This is a good, inexpensive set of filters which will make you feel good about protecting your expensive camera lens.

I purchased the set for my Canon HV20 video camera, and the filters fit perfectly. The filters come from the manufacturer very clean, and in a somewhat hard case that is convenient for carrying in a camera bag. I was surprised to see that the filters didn't even have a spec of dust on them, having been individually sealed in cellophane. They were much cleaner than some Tiffen filters I purchased a couple weeks ago for a different camera.

I'm now in the market for a lens cap. I never felt I needed to use one before because of the built-in lens cover on the camera, but now the filter in use is exposed all the time, so I need a cap to protect the filter (I really should have thought of that before). If you buy this filter kit, you might as well buy a cap while you're at it, unless you already have one.
