Tiffen 55 mm Round UV Protection Filter

Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.  more

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.

Tiffen 55mm Essentials Filter Kit

I was very disappointed after I bought this product. I was unaware that the Lens Adaptor for the Panasonic DMC FZ18, the DMC LA#3, was unavailable. I feel that Amazon should have mentioned that 55mm kit was for LA#3. DMC LA#2 doesn't fit the DMC FZ18. While would Amazon sell a product that...
