Zeikos 58MM Multi-Coated UV-CPL-FLD Professional Lens Filter Kit, Includes Miracle Fiber Cloth and Carry Pouch, Set for Nikon and Canon Lenses with a 58 MM Filter Size

I've been using this for about 2.5 years, I don't use the FLD filter, but have been using the UV (just to protect a kit lens) and the CPL. The CPL has held up well. Like another reviewer said, I haven't had problems with it in daylight, but it will suffer at night time in low light. When using a CPL, I find these situations to be rare/never.I recommend this if one of the three applies to you1. You are starting out2. You are new to CPLs and want to expand your range3. All your lenses cost less than $500Why? If you have an expensive lens, baby it. There's no sense in buying a $10 lens for a $2000 professional lens, and there's no sense in buying a $50 filter for a $120 lens.The CPL appears to be 3 stops reduction (will reduce light to about 1/8th the level), this means that it doesn't work miracles in brightly lit areas (ie reflections off of museum display cases).The construction is not high quality. It feels light, plastic-y, cheap. However I've used this for 2.5 years and have dropped in on the beaches of Cancun to Hawaii, dropped it on the sidewalk and have opened my bag and saw that it's been laying around unprotected. It's held up well - so it may not be high quality, but its awfully hard to kill.The bottom line: For less than $10, I believe this is incredibly cheap and a wonderful deal.

As many of the other reviews have pointed out, you can certainly buy better quality filters than these, but not for under ten dollars.My filter set arrived in a divided leather carrying case and each filter was individually sealed in it's own cellophane bag; new and clean (no smudges, dust or fingerprints).As far as build quality goes the three filters are not consistent:1) The UV filter is "heavy" and "cold" and makes a ting when tapped with a fingernail, giving the impression of an aluminum ring and glass optics. Since I am using this primarily to protect the front of my lens, I am glad for it's sturdier build. As far as it's optical qualities, it seems perfectly clear to me and does not noticeably affect the quality of my digital photos.2) The FLD filter is "light" and "warm" and makes a thud when tapped, giving the impression of a plastic lens in a plastic ring. Given that I don't often shoot with film and that when I do use film, I'm usually outdoors anyway, I will possibly never use this filter and am unconcerned with its quality. (This filter's application is for correcting white balance when shooting with film under fluorescent lights, digital cameras will correct the white balance digitally)3) The CPL filter is difficult to determine, it feels like aluminum and glass, but less so than the UV filter does. It might be heavier plastic, it might be lighter glass. What's important is that it threads easily, spins easily (but not so much that it spins out of where it's been set on it's own), and does an excellent job of cutting glare and deepening the blues of the sky.Overall, if I only got the CPL for my $8, I would still give this set 5 stars for the value. Having a sturdy feeling UV filter to protect my lens is a great plus.

I am so happy with this filter set, but do recognize that at ten bucks, these aren't the best performing filters with the most durable construction. Still, I highly recommend them, and am very happy with their performance...especially considering their cost!To start off with, I am well aware that most serious photographers would probably benefit from getting higher-end filters from bigger brands than Zeikos (i.e. Hoya, B+W), especially if they have premium glass. That being said, I'm also aware many people are on tight budgets- myself included - and it sometimes seems excessive to spend so much on expensive filters, especially if you are new to photography. This is a great solution to someone interested in learning more about what effects various filters can have.CONSTRUCTIONThese filters are cheap, and they feel cheap/weak, too. That was fine for me since I knew for ten bucks that was to be expected. I don't expect these to last forever, its more to get my feet wet with filters than any long term investment. For roughly three dollars a filter, I'm very happy with my purchase, even if these are cheaply made as the other reviewers have noted.AUTOFOCUSINGI noticed from my personal experience when I use the filters with the kit lens that came w/ my Canon Rebel, the 18-55mm IS, auto-focus is fine. With my cheap telephoto, however (the 75-300 non-IS, non-USM), auto-focus was very non-responsive. This was in broad daylight, so I don't think it was an issue of too little light. (If someone knows why this is the case, feel free to let me know!) Either way, aside from the strange focusing w/ my telephoto, I was VERY happy with the performance on my other lenses.QUALITYImage quality was fine (for the most part), and the filters - especially the polarizer - without a doubt made a very noticeable difference. I will try to upload images to illustrate this point. I must note, however, that as of now I have only tried this on relatively cheap lenses...if one were to use this on expensive, high-quality lenses, there might be a more noticeable degredation of quality from these filters. My experiences, however, have been positive.CONCLUSIONSMy assumption is, if you're seriously considering an intro filter set for ten dollars in the first place, you probably will be happy with this set! More likely than not, you're going to benefit from trying these out, and worse comes to worst, you one day upgrade to a better set. O personally think that for the price, this is a very worthwhile purchase.

LLegaron en prefecto estado, me gustó mucho como se ven mis fotografías, si se nota el cambio. Ahora a comprar más para mis otros lentes.

For the price of 3 glass filters, I could not complain. I currently have the UV filter on my 18-55mm lens. From a beginner's perspective, I've taken some test shots and I honestly could not find a difference in image quality. The glass is nice and thick and the frame fits perfectly with my lens. The UV filter can stack with the polarizing filter as well as the FLD filter and additional 55mm filters that you may have. The polarizing filter spins pretty smoothly regardless of whether its directly on the lens or stacked with the UV filter.It also comes with a leatherish, sturdy little carrier that looks like its some sort of soft felt material inside. It's nice and compact and is a secure way of carrying the filters in your backpack when you're not using it.I really couldn't find anything to complain about with this kit. If anyone is looking for filters that won't break the bank, these are a great option. I wouldn't hesitate to pick up another set if needed.

Ces filtres Zeikos présentent un excellent rapport qualité prix. La concurrence plus prestigieuse est au moins trois fois plus chère.L'UV est très efficace au quotidien et peut rester sur l'objectif : évite le "flare" et donne un beau rendu sur les ciels. Le Polarisant doit être réglé avant usage en tournant la seconde bague : améliore le contraste, la profondeur des couleurs quand le temps est gris, supprime les reflet sur l'eau. Le Fluo m'a été le moins utile pour le moment : il est prévu pour corriger les défauts de balance des blancs sous une lumière fluorescente.La pochette est belle et pratique, elle protège bien les filtres.A installer sur des objectifs réflex ou de bridges à filetage de 55mm. Suis déjà satisfait d'un même lot de 58mm acheté précédemment. Je le recommande donc !

Ho acquistato questi filtri come soluzione economica per la mia Sony Alpha Nex-F3.Se cercate una recensione sulla qualità ottica dei filtri, purtroppo non posso aiutarvi (non mi sono messo a testare gli scatti effettuati per vedere se ci sono aberrazioni o gradienti nelle proprietà del filtro): per quanto riguarda tutto il resto il kit è ok e la custodia in (simil?)pelle è esteticamente curata

Ich nutze die Filter ø55 sowohl für das Standart Objektiv an meiner Sony SLT-57 sowie an einem Minolta AF 100-300.Bin mit den Filter soweit sehr zufrieden, der Pol Filter sperrt auch richtig (test vor LC-Bildschirm - der Bildschirm ist wirklich schwarz, da leuchtet nix mehr!)ist sehr gut geeignet für Aufnahmen beim Wakeboarden usw. (nimmt die Reflexionen von Wasser, Spiegelungen von Glas…) einzig, könnte man den noch komfortabler gestalten, mit einem Mini-Griff um den Filter entsprechend auszurichten.Der UV-Filter ist halt immer drauf, wurde von mir auch schon ein paar Mal geputzt und hat noch keine Kratzer.Für das digitale Zeitalter durch Weissabgleich unnötig, der FLD Filter, wer jedoch noch eine analoge Kamera herumliegen hat und im Innenraum Fotos macht, kann diesen Filter gerne verwenden! Wenn ich meine Minolta Dynax 7000 mal für eine Aufnahme bei Kunstlicht verwenden sollte, probier ich den Filter mal aus.Sonst machen die Filter einen recht hochwertigen Eindruck, die Glaslinse wird wie bei Hoya Filtern mit einem Ring verschraubt, und nicht wie bei Hama Filtern mit einem Klemmring befestigt. Zudem scheinen die Filter auch einigermassen Kratzfest zu sein - im Gegensatz zu meinem Hama Skylight Filter, um den ich das Set selber ergänzt habe.Die Filter schützen auf jeden Fall das Objektiv zu einem Hammer Preis ;-)
