Quality filter system for wide angle lens

Fits perfect. Well made. Like the fact that it can be used with ND filters as well as 6.6x8.5 ND filters with the adapter.

Great filters but a bit of a pain to deal with.....

I love the filters but a little cumbersome having to place the adapter on and off. They are very large and somewhat difficult to take around in the camera bag.

Excellent Results

The filter and mounting unit work great and I'm very happy with the performance and results. I use the product on a 17mm canon tilt shift lens. I would have given this 5 stars but the little plastic rivets have fallen out and I've only used it 3 or 4 times. I'm not sure what purpose these rivets serve? They seem to be cosmetic. I don't see any loss of performance without these plastic rivets but I am puzzled on their purpose. I've attached a photo of where the missing plastic rivets are located.

Very nice quality and proce.

Everything arrived on time. The filter mount and filter assembled without any problems. It is massive and takes time to adjust to the size. All metal mount and filter ring. I think we will get along just fine.

Good product but...

Pretty sweet product, however, it needs some improvement. The collar assembly is well made and fits perfectly. Image quality with the polarizer is good, without any issue. My personal issue is that all 4 of the little brass pins around the edge fell out or broke off in the first week of owning it! Doesn't affect IQ but certainly illustrates a weakness in the design. I'll keep it and keep using it, but disappointed in that aspect of the system. Otherwise I'd certainly give it a 5star rating.

Maybe I got the wrong set?

I understand how difficult it is to have a filter setup for the Sigma 12-24 wide angle lens is, so I was very excited when I found this kit. Although the entire setup is very well made, the attachment I received with my kit was not big enough to make the setup work with said lens, and I returned the order.....

Inexpensive protection

This item was value priced as $199 bought me the filter holder and a circular polarizer (CPL). I cannot judge the quality of the CPL as it is not my strong point. I can however tell you that the filter holder mounts easily and securely. The cap is convenient and provides needed protection for the vulnerable ts-e 17 bulbous element. Eventually, I plan on purchasing some natural density filters on it. Adorama had this value kit out of stock but shipped out in few days! Thank you.

What sets the WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit apart is its innovative lens hood filter system, specifically designed for Super-Wide Angle (SWA) and Ultra-Wide Angle (UWA) lenses. This unique system empowers photographers to utilize filters on these specialized lenses, a feat previously unachievable.

The core unit of the WonderPana system serves a dual purpose. Not only does it function as a robust metal hood, offering enhanced protection to the front lens element, but it also replaces the plastic built-in hood found on many SWA/UWA lenses. This core unit is the key to providing photographers with a secure place to attach filters and a dedicated heavy-duty snap-on lens cap to safeguard your precious lenses.

The WonderPana 145 System is an ideal choice for a wide range of photography genres, including panorama, nature, architectural, and fashion, as well as for both analog and digital filmmakers. It is compatible with all Fotodiox Pro 145mm round filters, including Multi-coated UV filters, Circular Polarizers, and Neutral Density 4, 8, 16, and 32 filters.

Whether your goal is to protect your high-end SWA/UWA lens with a UV Filter, darken the scene for longer exposures with ND4/8/16/32 Filters, or remove reflections and enhance colors with a CPL Filter, the WonderPana 145 system offers unprecedented creative control.

The inclusion of a polarizing filter allows photographers to filter out the polarized component of skylight, resulting in a darker, more dramatic sky in your images, while emphasizing the clouds. This effect is unique to polarizing filters and cannot be replicated in post-processing software, making it a valuable tool in the digital photography landscape.

In essence, the WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit for the Tokina 16-28mm f/2.8 AT-X Pro FX Lens (Full Frame 35mm) is a versatile, high-quality, and professional solution for photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and protect their investment.
