Product Description

♦ 1) ButterflyPhoto - ButterflyPhoto Micro Fiber Cleaning Cloth
♦ 2) Zeikos -  58mm Multi-Coated 3 Piece Filter Kit (UV-CPL-FLD)

Made from the finest solid optical glass, are ground and polished to the most practical thinness. In addition, they are heat-treated to avoid any distortion or focal shift, and 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.

Fits 58mm lenses
Ideal for protecting your valuable lens from scratches and dust
UV filter absorbs ultraviolet rays to produce crisp, clear photographs
Circular Polarizing filter eliminates reflections from non-metallic surfaces, and increases contrast and color saturation
FLD filter helps balance light in outdoor situations or where fluorescent lights are used

A UV filter is used to reduce UV rays from entering the lens and striking the film.

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. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies.

A FLD filter (fluorescent light correction) 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.

Works with ANY 58mm lens! Lifetime warranty!

I've been a film photographer since the Sixties and for some years now I've shot strictly digital - starting yonks looking back that qualifies as back-in-the-day round these parts - used cameras manufactured by the likes of Yashika, Pentax, Ashia, Canon, Minolta, Nikon and more. First thing I've always done is get a UV filter to screw onto any and all lenses to protect the expensive lens with a layer of sacrificial glass. Depending on the filter manufacturer these UV Filters cost anywhere from $10 to $20 - back-in-the-day. Now I'm not saying these filters from A & R are somehow the equivalent to the glass from say - Nikon (tip-0-the-hat to elitist) - but they look and perform like glass from any other I've used and the Multi-coating on this kit of filters seems to work - meaning no overt flare that I've detected yet - - - ironically I have to add lens-flare with Photoshop on occasion for effect in the photographic stylings I do now-days - take a look at some of my work at...

I was very impressed when I got a set of 3 filters in a neat durable case for less than $10. The order arrived promptly and the complementary microfiber cloth made my day. Great customer service, strongly suggest!

I have found these filters to be a great addition to my camera bag, and have enjoyed using each one. I am far from being an expert photographer, but am enjoying the learning process and with the use of these filters, I find photography more enjoyable than first anticipated. These are well worth the price and should be a staple of all camera bags

3.0 out of 5 stars Is this lens as bad as some people say it is?, April 8, 2006
This review is from: Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III Telephoto Zoom Lens for Canon SLR Cameras (Camera)
No it's not especially if you take into account its intended users. If you use a Canon digital SLR and are satisfied with the kit lens (18-55) then buying this lens can be the perfect next step for you. Practically speaking, you will be able to increase your zoom reach to the point where you can A) photograph birds in moderately distant trees, B) be able to zoom in on the other side of a valley and frame something of your interest. Those are just two examples. One thing you will NOT be able to do effectively with this lens, however, is to take sport shots with it. How so? Consider some of the following weakness:

*At 300mm zoom range the highest aperture is limited to 5.6 (You will have to use very slow shutter speed to snap fast action shots; remember the inverse relation between aperture and shutter speed.)

*The lens size/weight combination makes it hard to hold steady when attached to a camera like the Rebel XT

*Slow and often inaccurate auto focus... Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Could be better, but works well within its price range, December 19, 2005
By 
John Nolley II (Fairfax, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
After reading several online reviews of the Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM lens, I had nearly talked myself out of even looking at one. However, thanks to a local Canon demonstration, I was able to play with several lenses, the 75-300mm f/4-5.6 among them. I got to try it out alongside the IS version (which costs just under 3x as much), the non-USM version, and some of their L-series professional lenses.

That said, I found there to be less difference among the directly-comparable lenses (the non-USM, USM, and IS versions) than I'd have thought. On the test shots I took using a Canon Digital Rebel XT, I didn't find full-zoom telephoto shots to be appreciably softer in the non-IS version reviewed herein, nor were the images overly soft for my liking period.

The USM focusing didn't seem to make as much of a difference as I'd expected over the non-USM model, either. Focusing was still relatively slow (as other reviewers have pointed out), although once an... Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Buy the "IS" version instead, August 30, 2001
By 
H. Huntzinger "-hh" (Denville, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you're looking at this lens, you're more demanding than the average Joe who takes photos and have high expectations. This lens is not blazingly fast (f/5.6 at 300mm), and to reliably freeze camera shake, you're going to need a 1/500 sec shutter speed, which means that with ISO 100 film, you only can lose one stop of illumination under "Sunny 16" conditions before you have to decide comprimise somewhere to get your shot.
Consequently, shots into the shade, or conducted under the warmer and softer lighting conditions of the morning/evening will inevitably drive you to the comprimise of a high ISO grainy film or the bulk of a tripod to make up for this lens's lack of optical speed. If you always shoot in full noon sunshine, you'll be okay.
Even though its a great tool, most people don't like to carry a tripod, so the solution is to either accept grain in enlargements, not take certain photos, spend more money to go to a faster lens, or some combination of the above. I'll... Read more

Review of the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S versus other Nikkor 50mm AF lenses

This quick review is based on my use of this lens for almost 3-weeks. It is intended for those already familiar with Nikkor's line of 50mm prime lenses but are wondering how this lens compare with the other Nikkor 50mm autofocusing lenses that I also own. I did however provide a section for beginners or novice at the last section of this review.

AGAINST THE NIKKOR f/1.8D

The Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G is slightly bigger than the Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D and a bit heavier but by a mere 31 grams, hardly noticeable at all. Unlike the 50mm f/1.8D, it comes with a reversible hood which does a good job in protecting and shading the lens. Unlike the 50mm f/1.8D which uses a 52mm filter, this lens uses a 58mm filter. Unlike the 50mm f/1.8D which has a maximum aperture of f/22, the maximum aperture of this lens is f/16 (as do the Nikkor 50mm f/1.4D and 1/4G). As the "G" suffix indicates, the 50mm... Read more

This review is from: Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
I absolutely love this lens. This lens has not come off my D3100 since I bought it 3 weeks ago. My primary purpose for buying this lens was to take portrait pictures indoors of my 2 year old son. I found that with using the kit lens, I still had to use the flash at times even with a high iso. That's when I started researching new lenses.

I chose the new 50 mm lens due to its low light capabilities. This lens does such an amazing job that I have not used the flash at all since. It is important however to switch the white balance settings when moving from indoors to outdoors. I love how this lens is able to blur the backround, so much more than the kit lens could. I initially bought the d3100 to take better pictures than a point-and-shoot could, I feel that this lens has made a similar step-up from the kit lens.

All in all, I can't see myself using the kit lens again. I easily got used to moving around a lot to take pictures, but when you're trying to... Read more

This review is from: Nikon 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras (Camera)
The 50 f/1.8 is a lens almost every FX shooter should have. However, which one of these you should buy is a little tricky. The D is about $80 cheaper, is smaller, lighter, has less distortion, and has manual aperture control. The D doesn't have auto focus but as of right now every FX camera has an autofocus motor built in. What the G really brings to the table is curved aperture blades, better construction, sharper corners, quieter autofocus and instant manual override focus.

On a DX camera it is still a no brainer lens but not as much as on a FX. The 1.5x crop makes this a 75mm lens on a DX. Usually portrait lenses start around 85mm. So this lens, on a DX, is too long to be a normal focal length and too short to be a portrait lens. With that said, those are just generalities. Even at 75mm it will work great in a dark house and great outside. In the house you may find yourself running out of room to back up. However, that can probably help some peoples... Read more
