Still to test the filters in the field but this kit already solves several problems and for me it's worth the price in itself.

Any ND beginner's guide will tell you to only get the largest circular filters and a set of step-up rings for smaller diameter lenses, but what about the lens hood? They never mention this problem. Well I stack a CPL and an ND filter for filming and try that with the standard lens hood that came with your lens. This kit includes a plastic "petal" and a collapsible rubber - both allow you to fit your hood in front of your filters. And lens shades aren't just meant to give you that "pro" look. They prevent stray light from hitting your glass - something that causes terrible flare in many lighting situations. There's a reason why the "big boys" use special cages and matte boxes with flaps and "flags" and "barn doors" and the like. However, I prefer to travel light and these two hoods solve all that for me. The rubberized one is particularly useful when shooting through windows - you can eliminate any reflections in the glass that would otherwise give you too many artifacts for your shots to be good. Or you could get a "black sheet" that you tape around your lens - many do to shade against flare in situations like this. when shooting through windows - you can eliminate any reflections in the glass which would otherwise give you too many artifacts for your shots to be good.
