Excellent filters, excellent contrast and image quality
Most of my lenses are professional quality glass, which means they cost a small fortune. So it's very important to me that the filters I use don't compromise image quality or sharpness - I pay a premium price for that with the lenses I choose. I also want the glass to be well protected from scratches and dust, so at least one UV filter is a required part of my kit.
This is not an expensive model, but it is an excellent filter set that is on par with the best I have used and costs more than $80 for a UV filter. I have another brand that has served me well in UV, but I wanted to add a CPL filter and I was also hoping the coatings on this set would be better. I've included photos straight from the camera (just a few quick test shots) to show how clear the glass is and how much contrast and clarity this set offers.
The set comes with caps for both sides of the filters. You can choose not to use either filter and be sure it is well protected by the metal caps. They can also serve as lens caps for the filter set, which is handy, and I'm thinking about using them as such since dust gets under the lens cap that comes with the lens.
I found the filters very easy to clean and they don't seem to attract dust like my other filters. The cat had the audacity to rub its snotty nose and furry body against the lens when I was trying to get a shot. I didn't notice any vignetting in any area for a 70-200mm lens. Without the CPL filter, photos in RAW tend to be a bit washed out and this filter corrected that very well. They screwed on easily to my lens and are lightweight, which is also nice. The filter they replaced was not nearly as nice in either aspect and cost almost as much as the entire set just for UV.
I thought the advertising was spot on regarding the product and don't feel the need to add such details here. There are also some other really great reviews that show the product itself. Hopefully this review includes some helpful details about the filters on the lens and sample photos with the kit available. If you are looking for a great filter with UV and CPL, this is a great option.
