... seem to be of decent quality and they feel pretty solid in the hand as well
I got these as a starter kit as I'm new to all of this-they seem to be of decent quality and they feel pretty solid in the hand as well.They also come with relatively good pouches as well.Over all a great little piece of kit for a newby.Although I have nothing to compare them with but I'm happy with what I have for the price.Arrived well packaged in only about 2-3days from ordering.

Happy buyer over here
I was thinking that I needed something different towards my style or vibe. And this mist filter has done the trick! I love this thing and I hardly take this off my lens. This is great for video, gives off that glarey effect which is neat. But with photos, may have to rethink that because it would take off the digital sharpness. But i love this filter. Gives you more options for your creative needs.

Really Helpful For Skies and Water
I use the circular polarizer extensively for landscape shots. In fact, I leave it on my lens (Canon EF-S 17-85mm) instead of a UV filter because I use it so much.Pros:- good value.- darkens skies, controls glare on wet surfaces, makes colors pop.Cons:- vignetting at widest focal length (but then again, you shouldn't use it at the widest end due to uneven darkening of skies at widest angle).- doesn't play nice with cokin filter holder (spins when you screw on the filter holder, can be annoying to have to reset it).Overall, this is a good deal for a filter that will really help your photos look better.

A must have for Wildlife Photography
The conditions are so harsh while on game drives in Kenya that you must have a filter on your Nikon 200 500 lens. You can take if off when you're ready to shoot. It's an added layer of protection. Quality product and packaging. I highly recommend.

Works great!
Works well and as advertised. I haven't had any issues with it so far and I've been hauling it around for over 2 years. Keeping it clean is always a hassle, but I think that could be said for any filter (or lens).

This is Lit! Or is it Dark?
The way I use this filter is by combining it with a fast lens like the sigma 18-35mm f1.8 art. I use this filter in combination with the fast apertures to blur out the backgrounds in broad daylight without letting too much light into the picture. If I want to make it lighter or darker all I have to do is turn a ring at the edge of the filter.The only thing that gets me is when I turn it too much and it ends up unscrewing the whole filter out of the threading a little bit. But that's not a bad thing, its just a part of the experience.I bought it 8 months ago. This has been, thus far, an excellent purchase.

Well built filter, seems to retain sharpness with
Nice filter, very thin to prevent vignetting but a little tough to grab when you’re unscrewing it from the lens. Does have knurled edges so you just have to make sure your hands are dry.

Perfect and fine quality LEE element
Well made delicate Stopper filter for fine images to be captured. I love it as it’s easy to fit on my Cam and can capture very fine smooth images. Yes it’s expensive but a must have for photograph lovers. I am not professional photographer but love to capture natural beauty in my lens. Storage box and cleaning cloth with stopper filter is provided in the package. The storage box can easily fit in my camera bag but only one problem is to open this storage box when need to take out stopper filter from it because it’s so strongly closed. Otherwise all is perfect. Happy with the addition of this filter stopper in my collection.

Good Price, Good Quality
I was curious to see the Amazon Basics range branching out into photography with this lens filter.When purchasing a new lens it's always advised that you by a filter to protect the end of the lens. A polarizer is used to enhance certain aspects of a picture such as darken a blue sky, and out of all filters this is the one you will probably see used the most. Think stormy blue skies (usually a backdrop for yellow fields), these photos have been taken with a polarizer.This filter fits a 58mm lens (check your lens size before purchase), and is simple to attach - just screw it on at the end. It sits securely, no worries of it popping off.As other reviews said, Winter (the time of writing this review) is not the best time to review a product such as this. In order to see the polarizer at its best you need good light, not the murky days we seem to get at present.The Amazon Basics polariser comes packaged and well protected in a slim plastic case, making it easy to slip in your camera bag. You are able to rotate the polarizer so you can pick which area you want enhanced.It appears to do the job, although I'm looking forward to sunnier days when this can be used to its full potential.
