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.

How can you elevate your photography to the next level The answer lies in the WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit, a revolutionary lens hood filter system specifically designed for the Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Ultra-Wide Zoom Lens (APS-C 35mm). This innovative system empowers photographers to use filters on their Super-Wide Angle (SWA) and Ultra-Wide Angle (UWA) lenses, opening up new possibilities for creative control and image enhancement.

The WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit is a versatile tool that helps create the perfect lighting balance when capturing images. It enables the use of filters on lenses where it was previously impossible, transforming the way you approach SWA and UWA photography. The core unit of the WonderPana system doubles as a metal hood, providing added protection to the front lens element and the plastic built-in hood found on many SWA/UWA lenses.

This high-quality kit includes a WonderPana145 filter holder, a 145mm heavy-duty inner pinch lens cap, and a 145mm circular polarizing (CPL) filter. The filter holder provides a secure place to attach filters, while the robust lens cap offers additional protection for your valuable lenses.

The WonderPana 145 System 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.

Ideal for panorama, nature, architectural, fashion, and event photographers, as well as analog and digital filmmakers, the WonderPana 145 Essentials Kit is a professional-grade tool that enhances your photography experience.
