Good basic filter kit
This set is nice becuase it gives you 2 of your most needed filters (UV / protection filter, polarizer) and filter wallet. The warming filter is OK but would have rather had a neutral density filter in its place.

Nice filter package
The Hoya package represented a good value and I did not want to spend too much money on a filter set since I was buying a Canon factory refurbished 40D and was not sure how well it would all work out. The filter set is a good match for the camera, but as I upgrade lenses, I will most likely upgrade the filters as well to B&W or Hoya multi coated filters. I own several other Hoya filters and the one issue I have with them is the smooth texture of the finish (particularly on the poliarizer). They are so smooth, that they can be difficult to get of the lens. I prefer the ribbed texture on my B&W polarizer (for my Olympus 12-54 lens) since it is easier to remove. This filter kit comes in a large folding pouch that is about 3"x6" and takes up a bit of room in my camera bag. I would have preferred 3 seperate filter holders for greater ease of use and storage. Overall, the Hoyas have served me well over the years.

Don't leave home without them.
This starter kit is a great way to familiarize yourself with the many benefits of using lens filters. The wallet is a great way to take your filters wherever you go, and keeps them handy and protected. A great little booklet comes with the kit explaining each filter's purpose and when to use it.
