High-quality, all-glass filters at an affordable price

These lens filters are made from the finest optical glass, are ground and polished to the most practical thinness, and are heat-treated to avoid any distortion or focal shift. Each filter is subject to strict tests in order to ensure a flawless, even surface, which is essential to a quality filter and exceptional photographs.

Lens filters are one of the least expensive accessories you can use to make big changes in the way your pictures look. This particular filter kit is a combination of the three essential filters (UV, PL & FLD) no photographer should be without.

Kit Includes:

UV (Ultraviolet) Filter
A UV filter is used to reduce ultraviolet rays and produce crisp, clear photographs. UV filters are commonly used to help protect the surface of the lens from scratches, smudges, dirt and other hazards.

PL (Polarizer) Filter
A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies.

FLD (Fluorescent Light Correction) Filter
An FLD filter provides the perfect solution for obtaining pleasing skin tones and correct color while shooting without a flash under fluorescent lighting. This filter gives true-to-life color rendition by removing the harsh yellow-green cast ordinarily resulting from fluorescent bulbs. When shooting under natural light, a fluorescent filter dramatically increases color saturation of subjects such as sunrises and sunsets.

Essential items for the proper maintenance of your equipment

It's obvious that the cleaner the lens and camera sensor, the sharper your pictures will be. Dirt, dust, and fingerprints will degrade the image quality of even the finest optics. However, it's equally important to avoid using incorrect cleaning materials which can permanently damage your photo equipment.

This 6-piece cleaning kit contains everything you'll ever need to properly clean your lenses and digital SLR camera, including an air blower, soft brush, cleaning solution, lens tissues, cotton swabs, and a microfiber cloth. Also includes a soft carrying pouch.
