Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

The quality may not be at the professional level.But is not far form it. You can buy plastic filters at a rock bottom price and they do work as claimed, however you will soon find yourself looking for better filters. So Do yourself a favor and save a step (and some money)buy filters that will last a lifetime with minimal care.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I have very expensive lenses (not that any lens is cheap) but I consider them to be an investment in my future, and I want to keep them in the best conditions for as many years as possible. I keep the UV filter on my lenses at all times for protection and use the warming and polarizing filters as needed. The effects I get with these filters are amazing, they enhance my images extremely well. I am thrilled with the functionality of these filters and the price point.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

The UV is an almost-constant addition to my lens, often for nothing other than protection, but clears up haze in a cinch. I use the polarizer the most, though, when it comes to using a filter exactly what it was made to do. Nice, clean rotation to get that perfect shot of reflective surfaces. They might say it's for non-metallic surfaces, but it gives me plenty of control to pick and choose where they show up on car shoots.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I don't know that these filters are better than other companies filters, but they are a great value. I use the UV primarily for lens protection and it does a fine job of that. The polarizer also does a reasonably good job.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

I use the polarizer for improving the look of the sky or changing the looks of reflections or cutting glare from the ocean.

Whenever the polarizer is not on the lens I keep the UV filter mounted to serve as protection.

I have not yet found use for the warming filter, but will probably start experimenting with it soon.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Of these 3 filters, I use the circular polarizer the most. It protects my lense as well as making the skies bluer over the Rocky Mountains. The polarizer is effective when glare reduction and shine is not desirable, i.e. a car surface, golden aspen leaves blowing in the breeze, icy surfaces, etc.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

This set of 3 filters provides coverage for numerous conditions. Of the 3, the polarizer is used the most as the majority of my shots are outdoors and can be rotated to enhance the blue skies above the Rocky Mountains. But always remove it prior to shooting night time scenes, thus allowing more light into the lens.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

Bought the kit because I needed a new UV for my Panasonic 100B. Needed a new circular polarizer as well, and had never used the 812 warming filter, so I figured - "Why not?" For the price, this pack can't be beat. Haven't really used the warming filter yet, but the UV and Polarizer are fantastic. Great color, protection, and clarity.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit:

When shooting outdoor photos in locations that are very sunny, Israel, waterfront, ocean, etc the intense light can cause your photos to appear washedout.

This filter make the blue sky quite vivid,etc.

Be sure to rotate the filter to find the best "polarized" view
