Excellent Filters, Great Contrast & Image Quality
Most of my lenses are professional quality glass, meaning they cost a small fortune. As such, it is terribly important to me that the filters I use do not reduce image quality or sharpness - I pay a premium price for this with the lenses I choose. I also want that glass well protected from scratches and dust so a UV filter, at the very least, is a required part of my kit.
While not an expensive model, this is an excellent set of filters on par with the best I have used to date which cost upward of $80+ for a UV filter only. I have another brand that has been serving me well for UV, but I wanted to add a CPL filter and I was also hoping the coatings on this set would be better. I have included photos straight out of the camera (just some quick test shots) to show how clear the glass is and the amount of contrast and clarity this set provides.
The set comes with caps for both sides of the filters - you can opt not to use one of the filters and know it is well protected by the metal covers. They can also serve as lens caps on the filter set which is nifty and I am thinking of using them as such because dust gets under the lens cap that came with the lens.
I found the filters to be very easy to clean and they don't seem to attract dust like my other filter does and the cat had the audacity to rub his snotty nose and furry body on the lens as I was trying to grab a shot. I did not find any vignetting at any range for a 70-200mm lens. Without the CPL filter photos tend to be a bit washed out in RAW and this filter has corrected that very nicely. They screw onto my lens easily and are lightweight which is nice as well - the filter these have replaced was not nearly as nice in either aspect and which cost nearly as much as this whole set for UV only.
I found the advertisement to be spot-on regarding the product and don't feel the need to add those kind of details here. There are also some other really great reviews showing the product itself. Hopefully this review adds some helpful details with the filters on the lens and sample photos with the kit in place. If you are looking for a great filter with both UV and CPL, this is an excellent option.
