What is the purpose of the UV filter in the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm filter kit?

The UV filter in this kit is designed to minimize the bluish cast often encountered in daylight photography. It also serves as a protective shield for your lens, guarding against accidental damage like nicks and scratches.

How does the CPL filter in the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm filter kit enhance my photos?

What does the ND filter in the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm filter kit do?

The Neutral Density (ND) filter reduces the intensity of all wavelengths of light equally, ensuring no changes in hue or color rendition. This allows you to adjust the aperture, exposure time, and blur of the subject in various situations and atmospheric conditions without having to limit light by reducing the aperture.

Are the filters in the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm filter kit compatible with all cameras?

The filters in this kit are designed to be compatible with both digital SLR cameras and traditional 35mm SLR applications. However, it's always a good idea to check the specifications of your camera and lens to ensure compatibility.

Can I leave the UV filter on my lens at all times?

Yes, the UV filter in the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm filter kit can be left on your lens at all times. It not only enhances your photos by reducing the bluish cast in daylight conditions, but also serves as a protective shield for your lens against accidental damage.

Shopper : Will these filters fit a 77mm Tokina wide angle lens?ARASH M : If the lens has the same 77mm filter holder, then yes. If it it's an ultra wide angle lens, there is a chance you see some vignetting. If it's a bulbous outer element, no. But hey it's only 16 bucks. Worth a try.YASHVANT J : I have Nikon 28-300 mm lens that accepts 77mm size filter. All these filters fit this lens perfectly. I am not familiar with Tokina 77mm wide angle lens, so I can not tell. If you look on the lens, it will have diameter size on the side. That's the size of filter you need. Hope this helps.NANCY B : I don't see why not. If the lens is a 77 mm, the 77 mm filter should fit.Sacheen K : I have a 11-16 mm Tokina lens with 77 mm lens diameter. Yes, they fit on the lens. If the lens specs says 77 mm filter size, then these should fit.
Shopper : What density is this Neutral Density Filter?ERNEST C : Nd8ALBERTO D : This ND filter is ND8MALLUWA P : ND 8. This is a good kit. I recommend it. STEPHEN V : It's an ND8. You can always stack it with the CPL to increase the power, although that would change the colors.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?GARY G : Low-price option to protect expensive glass.THERESA R : CPL lens is perfect for blocking the sun when I'm shooting at the zoo.ANDREW V D : To complete my list of filter sizes. With the 77mm size, I now have all sizes between 62 and 82 mm in 5 mm increments for my Nikon Z mount lenses.HAROLD L : CheapROLAND N : Because I don't have this size filters for the new lens i just purchased.DAVID C : PriceERIC W : I use Vivitar UV filters on all my lenses to protect the coatings. The Vivitar filters are inexpensive (can you believe what Hoya filters cost??!) and they do not reduce image quality....I've had photos published in glossy mags as well as poster size and a billboard or two....no reason to spend more.WILLIAM F : Good valueROBERT B : I know the brand name and have had good results with their items.Darren C : Cheap for a UV filter. The others are free the way I see it.

Vivitar filters

Budget filters but no difference when used with NIKON 24-120mm lens on D5’s and D500’s in comparison with more expensive other filters I own.

Vivitar filter set

This was a set of 3 78mm filters. The glass is very thin, but they all do the job. Comes in a wallet, to hold all 3. Very basic, but at the price, a good deal

Decent filters for the price

While nothing to brag about, the price makes this a pretty good deal for the casual shooter. The CPL and ND filters are effective, but the UV filter is pretty poor and will cause flare and intermediate reflections due to poor coatings. Useful in a pinch but a very poor choice for a protective filter.

Why Include?

This package was included free with a $2300 lens purchase. Why would anyone put these products onto a quality lens is beyond me.

This was a freebie by Adorama!

Thanks Adorama! Soon as I received my new wide-angle lens from your business I put the UV filter on it. This is a nice kit to have with a great lens.

It was free

This set was a included with the purchase of a Nikon lens. Spending the amount I did on the lens I really didn't think this set of filters had the quality needed to be used on a $1,000 lens. I was right. The UV works well but the CPL and ND filters lack the quality needed to be used for anything other than an expensive lens.

Bonus Filter Kit.

First let me say that Adorama is great. The products I purchase is great. I did not purchase this $ filter kit. It was a bonus add on, but when you purchases a $ lens you do not purchase cheap filters. Just saying' This is why I gave it 3 stars… so I never really used it, nor would I every use it… but thanks for looking any way.

ND density not exactly neutral

It's a really good price point but does have issues. I also found the Neutral Density Filter not quite neutral... it shifted the colour a little. I found the Multi Coat UV filter has some issues with reflections. When I was taking pictures of fireworks I found many shots had reflections (I think) of the firework light creating a ghost image up and to the right. Perhaps it was bouncing off the front element on the lens and onto the back side of the UV filter.

Neutral Density has magenta color cast.

The UV and Circular Polarizer are OK but the Neutral Density has a strong Magenta color cast and is clearly not "Neutral".

The Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm UV/CPL/ND Filter Kit is a comprehensive solution for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and protect their lenses. Crafted from superior optical materials, each filter in this kit undergoes a meticulous heat-treatment process and is multi-coated to prevent any distortion or unexpected movement.

The Ultra Violet (UV) filter in this kit is designed to counteract the bluish cast often encountered in daylight photography, delivering images that are clearer, sharper, and more contrast-rich. Beyond its image-enhancing capabilities, the UV filter serves as an invaluable shield for your lens, offering robust protection against accidental damage such as nicks and scratches. As a lens protector, it's recommended to keep it on your lens at all times.

The Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter is a versatile tool for enhancing the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, without altering the overall color balance of your shots. Like the UV filter, the CPL filter also provides an additional layer of protection for your lens, making it an essential accessory for both digital SLR cameras and traditional 35mm SLR applications.

The Neutral Density (ND) filter is a powerful tool for photographers seeking creative control over their exposure settings. By reducing the intensity of all wavelengths of light equally, it ensures no changes in hue or color rendition. This allows photographers to adjust the aperture, exposure time, and blur of the subject in various situations and atmospheric conditions without having to limit light by reducing the aperture. With the ND filter, you can set the shutter speed to achieve the desired motion effect and adjust the aperture as needed.

In summary, the Vivitar 3-Piece 77mm UV/CPL/ND Filter Kit is a versatile, high-quality, and durable solution for photographers looking to enhance their image quality and protect their valuable lenses.
