Lens filters are translucent pieces of glass placed in front of a camera lens to alter or adjust the light entering the camera, and more importantly to protect the camera lens. Lens filters improve photographs by giving you control over light and allowing you to emphasize the features of a scene that you consider most important.

This filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters no photographer should be without.

PLEASE NOTE: Some cameras require an adapter tube to fit the filters. This filter set is compatible with the following camera models: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars Excellent product
I’m very happy with the item, the filters mount easily and the polarizer gives excellent polarizing effects.

I couldn’t have asked for a better value for my money !!

4 Stars Helps and hinders
The quality of the optics is OK and does make a noticeable difference in the cameras ability. Polarization is a bit tricky but helpful when needed. You will lose light reception so you have to allow for larger opening or slower speed to make up for it. I did a comparison of a Skylight to the UV and would say that the UV is just a lens protector as I had no noticeable difference in any comparative shots. I did see some better contrast with the FLD but had too much pink.

5 Stars extremely pleased
I ordered these filters for my Canon Powershot SX10 with the lensmate adapter. They fit perfectly. Came with nice protective case for filters. The filters seem too heavy for cheap plastic. Used the filters and compared pictures. They performed as needed. Great starter filter set. Very happy with product and the price. I know one day i will outgrow these filters but great for beginner or casual photographer.

5 Stars Good value for money
I had seen lens filters for an outrageous price at a local store. Decided to give these a try instead. Using these for 2 months now and they work absolutely fine. I am no big photography buff, so if they adversely affect the image, I wouldn’t know about that. Our pictures come out just as good as they did before, but now our lens is protected. Buy this filter, don’t waste your money on overpriced ones in stores.

2 Stars Polarizer Filter gives very little polarizing effects
There are many good reviews for this set. I was not impressed when I tried it on T1i. Maybe it’s not my luck got a bad set. The polarier has very little effects out door, I keep turning and turning the polarizer can’t see any different throught the viewfinder. Solution, focus on pc monitor and turn the polarizer until the monitor turn black throught the viewfinder, then focus out side throught the window and took the shots. I am going to upload two difference photos one with polarizer filter and one without. If I have a chance to try it before purchase, I wouldn’t buy it.

4 Stars A fine product
This product is fine in terms of optical quality. I’m certainly no professional, however, so this review should be taken with a grain of salt by those who are very familiar with cameras and are “prosumer” types.

I’ve noticed no distortion, discoloration, blurring, etc., with images, and it’s great for macro. I can get amazingly close and these lenses give me an amazingly shallow depth of field (which is good… for me at least).

The only minor gripe I have with this product is that after less than a month of a use, some of the black paint is starting to fade/chip, leaving me with glimpses of silver (not good for a camera: causes reflections and unwanted light in the photograph).

5 Stars Great product for price, does take practise
I have Canon Powershot sx10 with Lensmate filter adapter. i ordered these lens/filters and they work great. i did have to go and play with them to learn how to use them. the depth of field is short, but really nice pictures. Quality was excellent for price as well, believe they are glass, seem too heavy for plastic. Can’t wait to see what more pictures I can take.

5 Stars Gives some extra abilities
makes a standard lens a bit more versatile. Helps in a pinch and has high quality optics.

3 Stars For less than $15 you can get real close! But the glass they used is cheap!
I will talk about the product and not the seller I purchased from.

Yes, this is a “macro” filter attachment that will allow you to get closer to your subject.

You can use auto focus but you will limit yourself to the amount of magnification that you can use to get as close to the subject as possible. Manual focus will allow you to get super close. I mean so close that is you are using a built in flash you will get a shadow from the camera lens. (thats how close you will be able to get)

These work great. They do drastically change depth of field so take that into account when you are first trying them out.

I am having an issue using some of my filters with it. The threads dont match up very well so I cant use my UV or polarizer because I dont want to cross-thread them. Also, I had to spend a lot of time when these arrived. They were dirty and two of them had some weird black goo on them.

Overall for the money, (I changed this)if you are looking for this item, you might want to pay a little more for better glass.

Update to my original review. This is cheap cheap cheap glass! While changing my 10X it fell 2 inches onto my cameras remote that was sitting on my bed. The glass is chipping, and continuing to chip. I cant use it anymore because I do not want to spread glass chips into my lens. Shop around and you might want to think about going with another manufacturer.

4 Stars Adequate Filters
Certainly the “poor mans’” macro lenses. The filters are average quality, but you can get very close to your subject for great effect. Focusing is primarly by moving the camera closer or farther to bring the subject into focus. For the money, not a bad product.
