Makes changing filters fast and easy.
I have always used the threaded filters on my camera, going back to my earliest days in photography. And we all know the effort it takes to change one of those filters - you have to unscrew the current filter and then screw the new one onto the lens, a process that takes a couple of minutes, at least. Not always ideal. With this set, you have two threaded options: an empty ring (with no filter or glass of any sort) or a threaded UV filter. The other two filters (a circular polarizer and a neutral density 1000) then attach to either of the previously mounted rings magnetically, so that switching filters just involves pulling the filter off and putting another in place - in just seconds. An excellent option in situations where you might want to change filters frequently. In addition, the set includes a convenient carry case, with separate, padded pockets for each of the filters. This case can be worn on a belt, or attached to camera strap (or in my case, the chest harness I use to carry my camera while hiking), which ensures that the filters are close at hand when you need them. My only complaint is that the magnets are a little bit too weak. At one point, as I was setting my camera down, I bumped the filter and it fell off. Luckily, it does not appear that the filter was scratched or otherwise damaged, but if you use these, you want to be aware that they can be knocked off relatively easily. You probably would never have a problem if you only used them in a studio environment, but if you use them outdoors, especially if you are moving around a lot, you want to be careful with them.
