Altura Photo 58mm Lens Filter Kit - Multi-Coated UV Protector, CPL Polarizing and ND Neutral Density Filters + Case for Camera Accessories & Lenses

The Altura Photo 49MM Lens Filter Kit I bought for my 50mm lens has really impressed me with its performance and results far! Each filter, in the set brings something to the table and has truly elevated my photography in various ways, I put all of them to the test and had a few things to say. The UV filter is really handy for protection – I always make sure it's on my lens to guard against dust and scratches as well as accidental fingerprints which we know happens from time to time! The best part is that it doesn't impact the image quality all; in fact, it helps keep my photos super sharp even in sunny conditions. The polarizer filter is a must have for photography enthusiasts like me! It works wonders by minimizing reflections, from water and glass while boosting the richness and depth of colors in my landscape photos. Using an ND filter enables me to capture images in daylight by slowing down the shutter speed without causing overexposure issues. Making it perfect for achieving motion blurs such as silky water flows or dynamic cloud movements; it's also handy for maintaining balanced exposure when aiming for a wide aperture, in shots requiring depth of field focus. The filters are crafted from top notch glass material. I haven't experienced any unexpected changes in color or distortions with them. Moreover, the case provided helps in keeping everything maintained and safeguards the filters when they are not being used. This set of filters is ideal, for photographers seeking to enhance their photographs with a range of filters. I strongly suggest it for its quality and effectiveness!

Buy these! Even if just to protect your lens buy these! Great photo enhancement on outdoor photos.

Haters are going to hate. The price made me very skeptical, the smaller group of very negative reviews gave me pause. I decided that in the worst case scenario, I can send them back. I am using the 72MM filter set on a Nikon Z6 with the 24-70MM FX lens for professional video production of outdoor B-reel. UV filter: Clear, minimal added distortion, no visible defects in the filter, provides a small added degree of crispness to outdoor images in partly-cloudy and full sun situations. CPL: Color me really impressed. For the money, the performance is in a word - amazing. Excellent for removing glare and reflection off of water and glass, while brightening blues. Does soften focus but within acceptable ranges. Adjustment is easy. I am shooting with an Atomos Ninja V so the larger display enables me to dial in the CPL with more precision. ND4: Useless, hence the 4 stars. As others have noted the ND4 filter adds a lot of brown tones to your images. I did use it on a beach where I was shooting some surf images in lousy midday light with high clouds. It helped but the gray rocks turned decidedly brown. If you're an expert at Photoshop/Premiere you can adjust to fix, but it will take some time. I also found that the ND4 softened the focus worse than the other filters, where some video was unusable for our work. If you're buying this for the CPL and the UV, it is still well worth the money even if you toss the ND4. Having dropped a 24-300MM FX lens with a UV filter on it (not this one) to find the UV filter cracked to pieces, I am a huge fan of using a UV or clear filter to protect your glass full time. This represents dirt cheap insurance, and additionally, a quality CPL that rivals other choices that are 3X or 4X the cost.

Great product

t and good value.

Really nice set of everyday filters in a padded foldup bag. If you aren't sure where to start with filters start with this filter assortment. The UV filter is great for image clarity on days that aren't perfect, and even those that are can be improved as it seems to help with color shift leading to a prettier picture. Might be cutting through crap in the air (like smog) in addition to the UV but whatever it does I like the result overall. The Neutral Density filter I got to assist with night scenes where some street lights are brighter than others leading to hot spots. My first tests already show an improvement and I suspect when I tweak my exposure and experiment I'll be closer to what I am looking for. Lastly, the Circular Polarizing filter is a good general purpose filter that held glare. I haven't tried coupling it with the ND filter yet, but on its own it help cut some of the sunshine reflecting off the water so you can see the texture of the water instead of the glare. Probably the biggest challenge overall with the CPL use (not this brand, just in general) is trying to rotate the filter to the perfect angle to get what you want. Doing it through the viewfinder on a DSLR is nearly impossible and on an LCD possible but difficult to see the differences. But as far as the brand itself in this set, it works great. Just a pain to use effectively until you develop a better eye. Practice makes perfect they say.

These lens filters work perfect for my 80mm lens I bought to shoot some landscape photography with.

UV lens fits perfectly. CPL lens does not fit on the camera. I had to attach it to the UV lens to get it to fit and it’s not a snug fit then. As is I probably wouldn’t order again.
