I wish I had realized there was so much difference in filters. This kit was fairly cheap and included a variety of filters so I couldn't resist. After getting them I didn't feel they were as good of quality as the Tiffen 67mm I had gotten before. I should have asked more questions but didn't know enough to do that. I didn't realize in the same brand there were differences in construction and materials. They are okay to play around with and I have learned a valuable lesson and luckily it didn't cost me too much to learn that one![...]

This is the best entry level set of filters that I have used. The construction is of good quality and the overall quality is very good. It is a good entry level starter set of lens filters that cover all the bases.

Good Basic Kit
By soundman1024 from Saint Joseph, MO on 6/11/2007
Pros:
Consistent Effect, Firm Mount, Strong Construction
Best Uses:
Color Correction, Lens Protection, UV Protection
Describe Yourself:
Getting started, Hobbyist/Enthusiast
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

These filters do what they're supposed to do. I would like to point out that they are subject to flare though. These aren't multi-coated, so when you have lights in the shot you can get blobs showing up in the picture. This is why they come pretty cheap though.
Also be a bit careful around the pouch. I started tearing some of the inner fabric on mine because of it. It isn't going to be falling apart any time soon, but I do take caution with it now to make sure it won't continue to rip.

For the cost, these are hard to beat. If you have lights or the sun in your pictures a lot though do consider getting something coated.
