Manufacturer Description
The Tiffen 52mm Digital Enhancing lens filter kit combines four essential digital imaging lens filters to cover just about all shooting situations most photographers will encounter, from portraits to foliage to shooting through glass or glaring sunlight.

Film and video are more sensitive to UV light than our eyes are. This often shows up as a bluish cast in images, especially shots from high altitudes and long distances, praticularly over water. The ultraviolet protector provides basic reduction of UV light.

The Tiffen digital enhancing filter makes red, rust browns, and oranges "pop," with minial effect on other colors. Perfect for fall foliage, earthtone rock formations, architecture, woodwork, faded rustic barns, and any photos where red, brown, and orange subjects should be enriched or appear more intense.

The 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. Use the Tiffen polarizer with the enhancing filter for more dramatic effects.

The 812 warming filter, a Tiffen exclusive, improves skin tones and is ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or outdoor, in shade on a sunny day.

Customer Reviews

Note to filter reviewers....
Amazon lumps together ALL the Tiffen filter reviews. So unless you specify which specific filter you are reviewing, no one will know! This makes all those reviews that say something like, "this filter made my pictures too dark/light/red/green/whatever" totally useless.

Amazon tends to lump together similar products (like all or many cameras from one manufacturer), so in general it is a good idea to specify the product you are reviewing in your Amazon reviews.

Quite acceptable!
I have no problem whatsoever with this filter; one thing I noticed is that you get a large amount of internal reflection if you use it with a deep lens like Nikon's 50mm f/1.8. Get a more heavily anti-reflective-coated one if you're going to use it on that lens!

Good filters at affordable price, works with D60
Pros:
- 3 filters together at very affordable price.
- Can be threaded on the D60 lens
- Filters can be threaded over one another. (Polarizer on the UV filer)
- Carry case included in the price. Good for handling the filters without risk of scratching.
- Improves image quality a lot depending on the type of filter.
- Guide book supplied is also useful to decide which filters to use in what situation.

Cons:
- none so far
