great filters

I am very happy with this set of filters. The price was right and they come with a carry case so you dont have to worry how you are going to carry them if you go lite, camera and filters.

Good price, but not great quality

I am not impressed with Tiffen filters I got in this set. The finish of the rings are poor. Despite of previously poor reputaion, I recently purchased some 67mm Quantaray filter from the local Ritz Camera store which are of much better quality compared to this set of Tiffen filters. I never got Tiffens before, had good experience with Hoyas. I will probably stay with those from now on. Now come to think of it, Ritz camera indicated the Quantaray they had were made by Hoya.
The glass on all the filters are quite a bit more reflective compared to the Hoyas and the Quantarays. Not a good sign.
The circular polarizer had some smudges and some lense swirl that after 10 sheets of lense tissue and quite a bit of cleaning solution failed to be fully cleared off. Quite frustrating. All of the filters came with lint and a few little smudges on them, not sure if the store handling or the manufacturer handling was to blame, but none of the other filters I got before had this kind of problem right out of the box.
The set might be cheap, but it sure is for a good reason.

Good Quality filters

I am starting my career as a professional photographer, and I haven't had any problems with these filters. They come in a nice case, and are easy to attach to my lenses.
