3 filter kit. 2 were OK but the UV filter was loose in it mounting and its edges were noticeably rough and unfinished. Its probably a quality control issue but I decided to [...] get something a little more up market

When taking family photographs, this 812 filter is truly amazing in presenting the proper facial tones.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Overall the package was economical and does what I need it to do. My old polarizing filter had a guide that I could line up with the sun and get instant perfect cloud and sky color. This one takes longer to set up because I have to visually find the best color through the view finder.

Filters work just fine.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I use the uv lens majority of the times. Maintains quality of my photos and protects my lens. i just wish the set came with more =D

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Used the filters for UV protection on my Nikon cameras. Also used the polarizer filter to make blue skies and snowy scenes really pop. I haven't had a need to use the pinkish fluorescent filter.

Got these for my new DX nikkor 35mm f/1.8G (which I LOVE!). I was planning on leaving the UV on for protection and fooling around with the Polarizer. However, I've ended up having to take off the UV filter in conditions where a strong light source or sources are coming from in front of the camera due to ghosting. The lens itself has no problems once I remove the filter. Should have ponied up for a better UV filter...

easy to use with positive impact at minimal cost

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

It does it's job. Primarily use the uv filter a lot and some uses of the polarizer just on my recent vacation.
Hardly any image degregation when using the uv. Also gives me a piece of mind that my lens is protected from the elements.
Nice lens filter kit for my 18-55 kit lens, but I'd get a Hoya HMC or better for my Prime lens.

This is the first fixed lens I have ever had. I must say I really like it for close up work.

Good value for this kit that includes some basic, general use filters.

Perfect filter set for the basic needs of every photographer. Thanks to Ken Rockwell for the recommendation and link to Adorama. I will return again for more product.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I bought this set primarily to protect the lens, and for the polarizer. The UV coated filter does nothing noticeable to the picture, but it does mount firmly and doesn't impede clarity. The polarizer works reasonably well, depending on the angle of the sun. I haven't found it to dramatically heighten colors, but it also attaches properly, and rotates smoothly. I have not yet found a use for the pinkish enhancing filter. Overall it is good for what I need.

I am new to using filter lenses that I don't really see that much difference. I bought this filter lens kit of three, to lessen the glare and protect my lens and so far, it's doing it's job that's why I am giving it a 4star. I still have to learn how to effectively use these filters in artistic way. I guess it will give me benefits in the future. It wasn't so expensive a[$] so I did not hesitate buying it.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

It is an excellent combination of filters at the right price - initially I was only looking for a polarizing filter for my Nikon D40, but this kit is hard to beat. The protective case is a nice bonus. Not only would I recommend it, but I actually did buy another for a friend.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I mainly only use the UV filter, but am happy to have the others for use in certain situations.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I originally bought this kit as I was looking to protect my lens- I thought this was a great buy for a polarizer, UV Filter, and a warming filter. The items arrived and had a LOT of dust/film on them, and I spent a good 30 minutes trying to remove smudges from the UV filter. I eventually gave up on the UV filter, and ordered a Hoya HMC filter. I also noticed that the threads on the filters are cheap and they do not attach well to the lens. I've used the warming filter a couple of times, and it did add some warmth to skin tones, however based on the quality that this kit arrived in, I would not order it again.

This kit had everything I needed to start a collection of filters I could use with my lenses. It came with a container to store and carry the filters.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Was looking for nice UV just for protection, slaes consultant offered me this product instead - great buy with extras!

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I need a uv filter with my new lens & decided to get the kit instead since it wasn't much more & covered so much more types of photos.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Great basic starter filter kit.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

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.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

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.

My camera is a fixed lens, so keeping it protected is of the utmost importance. I also love the warming and polarized filters
