Good filters at affordable price, works with D60 [Posted on 2008-08-21] 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
Quite acceptable! [Posted on 2008-08-31] 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!
Note to filter reviewers.... [Posted on 2008-09-04] 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.
Durable but mediocre [Posted on 2008-09-10] I only use this filter when I'm shooting in extreme conditions. It is very durable, and can be cleaned by the edge of my shirt. However, flare is common, and this filter slows my lens down a bit as well as lessens contrast. I use a Hoya multicoated filter under any conditions except the most extreme. The price is right, however.
does its job [Posted on 2008-09-26] I got this Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter for my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. it fits live a glove and protects the lens well. so far I haven't noticed any image deterioration or side effects. for $6.99 a pop i'd recommend it to anyone!
