Good value for money
This is the second set of these that I have bought. I got a new camera in January and wanted a UV filter to protect the lens. I found these and you just cannot beat the value, three extra filters, including a polariser for less than “big name” brands. Quality is good and they come in a handy wallet. So when I bought another lens it was a no-brainer to get another set the right size for that lens.

Great filters for any time!
These are very nice filters. they feel nice in the hand, aircraft aluminum rings on them make them feel substantial. I only paid 15 dollars but these don't feel like cheap 15 dollar filters they feel like they are worth much more.The UV filter is just that, a totally optically invisible filter but it is visible in how it cuts down on the amount of sun glare, it is also fun to play with lens flare, this filter if you get the angles right you can induce lens flares very easily! This filter stays on my DMC-FZ200 all the time and its main reason is to protect my 500 dollar camera lens ,nothing else. So if it doesn't affect my picture I don't care as long as it protects my lens, I'd rather replace a 15 dollar set of filters than have to deal with a big camera repair!The Circular Polarizing Filter REALLY WORKS, we went to a shallow pond and the camera as could I wearing polarized glasses see right to the bottom!!! I was able to take a photo of the fish Under the water!!! It is wonderful! It also deepens colors and eliminates glare in night road shots, if you enjoy taking long exposure shots at night of the highway etc but don't want glare this filter will help.The fluorescent filter which a lot of people call worthless is actually quite useful IF you use manual white balance and balanced your camera under incandescent lamps. If you are on AWB then this filter will not be of a lot of use to you, though even in AWB it is rather cool because it gives images a violet hue like a broken film processor in the lab leeched purple dye into your images!The warming filter is nice, again in manual white balance and no messing with cameras you instantly get an image about 500 to 1000K warmer in color temperatures.It's old fashioned to use filters people say, its bothersome, its cumbersome. Yeah well so is toting a big DSLR and people don't complain about that but when I whip out filters for my 500 dollar bridge camera (FZ200 superzoom) y'all balk at me for using filters?Why do I believe in filters, because by changing settings to manual in the camera you are doing more work and the camera is doing less which means less image processing and better looking images!Try it for yourself, the filters are only 15 dollars and they are well made!

Matched but did not exceed expectations
There are many filters available, from almost free (plus shipping!) to absurdly expensive. This set seemed like a cheap-ish, trustable-ish source for filters.Before we go any further, what do filters do? Well, apparently they can be pretty important to your health if you use an SLR camera that uses mirrors to put an image into an optical viewfinder that you put your eye right in front of. Apparently all that glass won't protect your eyes from UV light if you're taking a *lot* of landscape shots. I have to say that I don't really buy that explanation - my impression was that a pair of regular glasses would stop most UV from entering your eyes (and I used to use UV lightboxes for my profession). Besides, if you have an electronic viewfinder, as I now do, you are only seeing a representation of reality and not getting blasted with real UV light.OK, that having been said, I'd much rather clean the surface of a practically disposable 5 dollar filter than my non-disposable kit camera lens. As long as the quality of the glass is high enough to avoid distortion, a filter seems like a sound investment for protection - not of my eyes, but of my lens.In this particular case, you get four filters:1, UV multi-coated (apparently it needs to be multi-coated; some of the other filter sets that appear similar are not multi-coated and can reflect in odd ways), which basically does nothing that I can tell, other than protect the lens. I'm not complaining, since that's exactly what I wanted.2, The next cool one is a Cirular Polarized filter; very similar to sunglasses, this should prevent glare from roads and water. Like all the other filters it screws into the inside lip of the lens, but this one will continue to rotate, so that you can get the image you want. I've tested the polarization and it's pretty good (you can look at the LCD on the back of the camera through the filter and it should disappear as you turn it, just like if you have polarized sunglasses).3, "Warming" yellowish filter; ideal for flash photography, this is the one that persuaded me to buy the four filter set instead of the two filter set. Unfortunately, the quality isn't up to much, with visible imperfections in the filter that do not wipe off. I will probably never use it.4, Fluorescent pinkish filter; good for restoring white balance, but your camera probably has a setting to do that anyway. Besides, who wants to deal with unscrewing filters all the time anyway. It's bad enough unscrewing lenses in the middle of a hike...So, the two filters that I'll probably really use (1 and 2) look great and do exactly what I hoped for. The other two don't appear nearly as useful. If/when I buy filters again, I will probably just go with a simpler two filter set and not worry about it too much.I'm a little disappointed that one of the four filters arrived "damaged", but it's not worth the postage to return the set. Just bear in mind that, as with most things, you get what you pay for. I think it would be safe to go a little cheaper for a two filter set. I expected that Polaroid would be able to make a piece of glass, although I am aware that they have been little more than a brand name for the last six years or so.Oh, one last thing: you probably know this but to size your filter, look on the front of your lens. There'll be a bunch of numbers, giving the zoom range and the F-stop range. There should be one number by itself that is followed by a circle with a vertical line through it. This indicates the diameter of the lens in millimeters and should match the particular set of filters that you're looking for. These filters will fit many different brands of lenses as long as the diameter is the same (I've tried mine on a Panasonic and an Olympus lens so far). In this case, 52 mm is going to be for any lens almost exactly 2 inches across.

Great value
3 days before leaving for vacation I lost my polarizer. While there was only 1 review on this at the time, I decided to give these a try. I'm a novice photographer so I didn't want to spend a fortune on a CP. On our 2 1/2 week vacation I used the CP and red enhancing filters. Both works great, I have wonderful color out of both filters. They appear to be very solid, well built filters, although I haven't had a chance to compare them to the $100-200 filters. I'm very happy with the set thus far, especially given the price.

Preiswerte Linsen-Sets ø77mm + ø95mm
Es gibt ja einige Rezensenten, die hier nur einen Punkt vergeben, andere wiederum 5 Punkte vergeben. Ich gehöre zu den Letzteren, da ich dieses Set mit 95mm Januar 2017 (für Sigma 150-600mm) und das 77mm-Set im Dezember 2019 hier erworben habe - einmal für mich, zum anderen für meinen Sohn, den ich inzwischen ebenfalls an diese Digitalfotografie heranführen konnte.Ich verstehe nicht, warum über diese "Fernost"-Technologie" zu diesen (Dumping-) Preisen herumgezetert wird - dann kauft Euch doch hochpreisige Linsen, welche ebenfalls schlecht vom Objektivgewinde herunter gehen, wie diesen preisewerten Exemplare.Speziell dafür bietet AMAZON sogar einen Artikel an, der ebenfalls in der Fotoausrüstung integriert ist:- Universal Filterschlüssel kompatibel mit Objektiv-Filtern mit 62-82 mm Durchmesser - FilterklemmeWenn jemand mit einer "Kabelbinder-Lösung" liebäugelt - sollte sein Hobby vielleicht auf Kabelbinder statt auf Filter für die Fotografie legen.Ich kann auch sehr deutlich erkennen, dass die meisten "schlechten" Rezensionen aus den Jahren vor 2016 eingestellt wurden.Also auf den Punkt gebracht:das erste Filterset habe ich (ø95mm hier bei AMAZON) 2017 gekauft für ein Tele-Zoom, mit dem mein Sohn im Jahr 2019 bei einer Safari im Krüger-Nationalpark hervorragende Fotos geschossen hat - auch das Fluoreszenz- und Warmfilter wurde ebenfalls verwendet (bei Filmaufnahmen nennt man diesen Effekt "Sepia" - wo man dann meistens an Fotos aus den 20ern des letzten Jahrhundert denkt. Mit der Fluoreszens-Linse vor einer untergehenden Sonne sieht ein Elefant auch schon ganz interessant aus.Und ganz interessant: keine Spiegelungen / keine Geisterbilder durch diese Linsen.Der ø77mm passt auf das Canon-Zoomobjektiv EF 24-105mm und sogar das "Reisezoom" EF 28-300mm.Ich verwende meine Objektive mit diesen Filtern auf folgenden 2 Kameras:- Canon EOS 6D Mark II (26,2 MP)- Canon EOS 5DS R (50,7 MP)Ich habe bei teils großer Bild - Vergrößerung keine negativen Erfahrungen mit diesem Filterset machen können.Wenn dieses Set im Durchmesser 105mm angeboten würde - ich würde dieses Filterset wieder kaufen ....

Muy buenos y económicos.
Si comparan el precio de cada filtro por separado, éstos son una verdadera ganga, y su calidad es excelente. Además, vienen con un estuche acojinado que protege los demás filtros, cuando sólo se ocupa uno. Son de buena calidad.
