from jordan ny on 9/4/2008

Cons:

Not clean, Pitted, Scratched, Unclear Optics

Describe Yourself:

Hobbyist/Enthusiast

Bottom Line:

No, I would not recommend this to a friend

This set came highly recommended by the sales staff at adorama after I found out you get what you pay for in lens filters.I was excited when they came and the 1st thing I did was to hold them to a light and I was shocked at what I saw... fingerprints!! enough to find out who they were If I really wanted too :) and on top of that they were completely dirty scratched and pitted unreal for the optics community .1st off they were not wrapped or protected in any way secondly there are little sharp silica packs (most likely culprit for scratches) in there I returned them[...] I was livid because I had shoots planned around the 1st delivery and had to set it back and when they came back bad again My window of opportunity had passed . They are made in NY and I was glad to buy American but the total lack of qa here is bad and I'll never buy tiffen again they came with high endorsements but I'll never put faith in them again

Prior to this purchase I had been using a Hoya UV filter for lens protection but it quickly developed spots that could not be removed. The Tiffen UV filter in this set has not had this problem.

These lenses are great, although one of them happens to have a thread that is uneven and causes it to not screw onto the lense as well. Service was excellent also.

Tiffen filters are my filters of choice,I've tried others that were more costly, but they didn't do a better job, so in my book Tiffen is the best.

Good product, good value

Good basic filter set

By Paul

from Columbia, SC on 2/5/2007

Pros:

Firm Mount, Good value

Cons:

Light construction

Best Uses:

Artwork, Lens Protection, UV Protection

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The filters mount well onto my new Canon F2.8 70-200L lens. The polarizing filter is easy to rotate and stays in position under the lens hood. The UV filter will remain on the lens for protection. The polarizing filter is a must for landscape phototgraphy. I may occassionally use the warming filter.

great value
