Description
Protect your camera lens from ultraviolet light while boosting your artistic possibilities with the Tiffen Photo Essentials filter kit. The kit--which includes an ultraviolet filter, circular polarizer, and warming filter--is an ideal accessory for photographers with 72mm filter diameters. The ultraviolet filter prevents UV light from reaching the lens, helping increase clarity and reduce haze. As a result, your photos look crystal clear even in mountainous and coastal areas, where ultraviolet light is particularly strong. The circular polarizer, meanwhile, is essential for outdoor photography, as it deepens the intensity of blue skies and reduces or eliminates glare. (Note that the circular polarizer is designed expressly for autofocus cameras.) Finally, the kit offers an exclusive color-warming filter that improves the color of all skin tones. Ideal for portraits, the color-warming filter absorbs the blue cast often caused by electronic flashes or outdoor shade, adding warmth to pale, washed-out flesh tones. As a bonus, the kit includes a pouch for filter storage.
The prepackaged assortments provide a range of artistic possibilities.

THIS FILTER WAS FOR MY SON WHO GOT A NEW CAMERA FOR CHRISTMAS. HE WAS VERY HAPPY WITH THE FILTER AND DID RECOMMEDED IT FOR ANY ONE WHO IS LOOKING FOR A FILTER AND THE PRODUCT IS GREAT AND MY SON IS VERY HAPPY AND THANK YOU!
Great price! No complaints. Cheap insurance and more!

The UV filter is used by most of us as simply protection for our expensive lenses. It is the primary reason I bought this filter, and at this pricing, it's unbeatable. It fits nicely on the business end of my Nikkor 17-200mm VR lens, with absolutely no issues on focus, clarity or even the lens cap.
But I discovered that it's a bit more than that, and this filter actually works as designed in blocking UV light. Add that to the price and fit, and this filter gets my highest recommendation.
great priced filter

This is a great price for a filter. It appears to be glass and protects well. Hasn't scratched so far. I would recommend it instead of the very high prices some stores charge.
Filters are Great...The Filter Pouch Included is Not
[ Posted: 2008-12-19 ]
I have used Tiffen filters for years and I purchased this combo when I got a new lens and needed the new ring size. As with my previous Tiffen experiences, these filters are of good quality and I have found no flaws with the ones I received.
I swear by the circular polarizer for outdoor shots. I wouldn't dare to go without lens protection and the UV Filter does that just fine. I haven't given the 812 much of a test drive so I will refrain from commenting on that filter.
Unfortunately though, the velcro on the included filter pouch is coming unstitched already (1 week of moderate use) and I will have to purchase a better alternative. Personally I don't find this to be to big of an inconvenience because the price is more than enough value for the 3 filters, but it seems somewhat cheap for a company with an otherwise good reputation for quality.
5 Stars if not for the pouch, but seeing as it is part of the "essentials kit" I can only give 4 stars due to its lack of quality.
No problems...
