I am keen photographer, so was delighted to be offered this set From the manufacturer for review. The kit comes in a nice little "K&F Concept" carrying pouch to keep everything safe and tidy. There are four 52mm lens filters - a circular polarizer, a neutral density filter, a UV filter and a FLD filter. Along with these very useful filters (these would be most peoples initial chosen batch of filters) comes a lens hood, lens cap and cleaning cloth. All in all, a great starter pack.The description specifies these fit the Nikon range I was pleased to find that they also fit my 52 mm Olympus. I'm presuming that these will fit ANY lens with a 52mm screw thread.The lens cap fits snugly with the usual "pinch lock" to attach or take off. The petal lens hood ensures stray light does not get into the lens, and the microfiber lens cloth does a good job of removing dust and smears.The circular polarizer in this set works very well in sunny/blue sky conditions - just pop the filter on and rotate it until you get the desired effect (normally a "better than natural" dark blue sky.) The FLD filter will make photos taken under fluorescent lighting look more natural and shift the skin tones back to a more healthy looking shade. The neutral density filter will ensure you get light levels right when under tricky conditions. I tried all of these filters out under a number of conditions and they all worked exactly how I hoped they would.All in all, this is a great little kit for the beginner, amateur, or just someone who has a new lens wants filters made to fit perfectly without having to use adaptors in between lens and filter. This kit was a hit for me!

Most of my lenses (Canon) have a 58mm filter but I have one lens with the 52mm thread. When the supplier offered me the opportunity to sample one of their kits I was happy to give it a go. The lens hood seems fine to me – it screws onto the lens or the filters easily & doesn't feel like it is stripping the thread as some cheap accessories do. It is difficult to assess its performance given that it is February and there isn't much sunshine around. The pinch-centre lens cover will attach even with the lens hood on (although it isn't very secure). You can't put on a conventional Canon lens cover with the hood in place nor, unlike the official Canon hood and another aftermarket one I have, can you reverse the hood and store it on the lens.An initial check of the filters for scratches and blemishes didn’t reveal any problems. The four filters are CPL, UV, ND4, FLD. I don't have much use for an FLD filter although you can play with it to get some interesting effects. I use UV filters as lens protectors and this one is fine. The CPL also seems fine to me, doing the job as expected. So far I haven't had much opportunity to try out the ND4 – but I enjoy landscape photography and use this type of filter regularly so I will test it out in due course. All the filters are threaded both sides. They are slim and have a quality feel about them and so far haven't revealed any flaws. The filters also accepted two other lens hoods I had as well as the one included in the kit. The lens pouch isn't bad either – reasonably well padded and easy to slip into a bag.I have a mix of expensive and cheap filters and rarely notice any difference between them. If you are new to using filters this would be a good set to start off with. If I were the supplier I would offer the set with an alternative to the FLD filter – maybe an 81A warm up filter but this is obviously a personal preference. One other thing to note is that the references to particular camera brands in the description could lead people astray – you need to look out for the thread size relating to the lens(es) you wish to use the filters on which is much more relevant than the camera manufacturer.

Excellent service, arrived on first day of estimate from Hong Kong. Just bought a new lens that needs smaller filters than my 58mm lenses. Quality looks good for the price but have not yet had chance to try them on my Canon 700D. If they work as good as they look then they are worth 6 stars.

Order arrived quickly and well packaged. For the money I think they are quite good value, especially for someone just starting out with a dslr camera and not wanting to spend vast sums of money on filters. As yet I have not made a great deal of use of them but an initial trial not bad.
