Product Description

Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto-focus SLRs.

Great Set Of Basic Filters
This is the perfect set if you want basic, decent filters. The UV protects your lens and the polarized greatly reduces glare and makes colors pop. Highly recommended for the beginner photographer.

Nice Protective Filter
I bought this for my Sony A300k's two lens. It did it's job: protect the lens from dust, finger prints and reflected some of the UV.

For the price, what more can you expect?

Tiffen Filter 55mm
If you are considering purchasing this filter from Amazon make sure you check the specs of your camera for the correct size filter. The Amazon website has a recommendation for the wrong size filter to go with a Panasonic DMC-FZ8 Digital Camera. The filter looks like a quality product but unfortunately I could not use it and had to return it.
