Don't leave home without them.

"This starter kit is a great way to familiarize yourself with the many benefits of using lens filters. The wallet is a great way to take your filters wherever you go, and keeps them handy and protected. A great little booklet comes with the kit explaining each filter's purpose and when to use it...."

Serves the purpose

"I am a new digital SLR owner and have not used any other filters since my film days very long ago, but this set seems to serve the purpose just fine.

I have no trouble removing the UV filter, but the polarizer gets stuck pretty much every time and takes a great deal of effort--or some trick I haven't figure out--to unscrew...." Read Full Review »

"IThe UV filter is permanently attached to my 135mm lens to protect it from scratches. The circular filter is good to use when the sky is not blue enough or when taking pictures of water. I have found no good use for the warming filter yet. "

"The Hoya package represented a good value and I did not want to spend too much money on a filter set since I was buying a Canon factory refurbished 40D and was not sure how well it would all work out. The filter set is a good match for the camera, but as I upgrade lenses, I will most likely upgrade …"  Read Full Review »

"I'm still giving 4 stars to the whole package. Optics is acceptable, but the case... It's huge, it's hard to put it in the small or even a medium bag, it's not protecting against the dust or a physical damage.
