Product Description
Protect your camera lens from ultraviolet light while boosting your artistic possibilities with the Tiffen Photo Essentials filter kit. The kit--which includes an ultraviolet filter, circular polarizer, and warming filter--is an ideal accessory for photographers with 72mm filter diameters. The ultraviolet filter prevents UV light from reaching the lens, helping increase clarity and reduce haze. As a result, your photos look crystal clear even in mountainous and coastal areas, where ultraviolet light is particularly strong. The circular polarizer, meanwhile, is essential for outdoor photography, as it deepens the intensity of blue skies and reduces or eliminates glare. (Note that the circular polarizer is designed expressly for autofocus cameras.) Finally, the kit offers an exclusive color-warming filter that improves the color of all skin tones. Ideal for portraits, the color-warming filter absorbs the blue cast often caused by electronic flashes or outdoor shade, adding warmth to pale, washed-out flesh tones. As a bonus, the kit includes a pouch for filter storage.

 filters for a Canon T2i August 14, 2010
Jason (Crestview, FL United States)
I was purchasing a T2i and needed a set of basic filters for the 28-135mm zoom lens I was purchasing. These lenses offered the best value I could find. I leave the UV filter on all the time as a lens protector and add the polarizer when necessary. Both feel well made and do not appear to distort the images.
 Not the first customer to receive the wrong product. August 12, 2010
Gacho (Costa Rica & USA)
I ordered a kit that included a circular polarizing filter. this filter was the main reason for ordering the kit, but it was not included in said kit. what came in the package was the also advertised UV filter, a fluorescent light filter, and something else that I had absolutely no need for. I see that I am not the only buyer who has had this same issue. The worst part of the whole thing is that I was just outside of the 30-day return period when I got back from my trip - during which i had planned to use the polarizer - and Amazon made it seem like they were doing me a huge favor by making the exception to accept the return. they did not apologize as expected for what was truly an inconvenience. I will admit that the return was very quick, but amazon partially penalized me in the process because I used accumulated points to cover part of this purchased. they have not credited this amount nor have they explained when it will appear on my balance and how I am to access this.
To sum up, this experience was a hassle. My advice is that readers purchase the filters individually even if it seems like it is more expensive and check reviews to make sure that there are no false-advertizing issues associated with the product. This has become a common deal. I guess that Amazon can't keep up with all of their 3rd party providers. But perhaps they can provide improved customer service, weed out bad providers, and prevent bad practices.

It was advertised as a used circular polarized filter and a uv filter what I got was a used polarized filter and a uv filter I guess you get what you pay for be careful if you order something that is used it may not be the same as the new item
WHAT IS THIS AMAZON? April 4, 2010

I'm confused by these reviews. Amazon, what's going on? Am I wrong or does Amazon have to pay more attention to these reviews?
I googled "close-up attachments" and went into amazon. No, I did not want a warming filter, polarizer and UV wrapped into a 3 filter package deal. I wanted information on the close-up attachments that usually come numbered 1, 2 and 3, indicating each filters relative close-up focusing capabilities.
These reviews are a mixture of the above.
Pay attention Amazon. And stop profiling my interests and saturating me with offers on items that you are certain I will like.....all the while trying to make the automation look personal. Do you people really believe that we consumers are that stupid? If all that selling is what pays for amazon..........you can have it folks.
