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.
The Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter is used to enhance contrast and saturation, particularly in blue skies and white clouds, without altering the overall color balance of your shots. It also provides additional protection for your lens.
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.
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.
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.

Was looking for lens protection when in the woods. Inexpensive and better quality than anticipated. Cannot complain especially for the price.

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.

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

Mainly use the UV filter as protection for the lens (this set came with the lens I purchased).ND filter adds a different color to my shots.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
