Are all of these filters actually multi-coated specifically for digital cameras? It is not printed on the filter cells.

I don't believe there is an apprecible difference between the filters for digital and film cameras

I do not see where there is a large difference in multi-coatings "specifically for digital" as opposed to film. They can be designed slightly differently in color temp. etc. due to the way a digital/electronic sensor "reads" light; but filter coatings that are designed to reduce glare and stray light are going to do that for your OPTICS, and can help whether your recording mechanism is digital (electronic sensor) or chemical (film). These should be fine for your digital cameras.

I threw mine away it was so bad. There is no way that I would recommend this filter to anyone. A very clear dark X banding was across the frame. Don't waste your money on it. The banding completely ruined shots that I used it for on some waterfalls (which is what I bought it for).

Yeah, I used nikons lens cleaner solution and it messed up the filter. There smudge marks now stuck on the filter and cant get it off or that could be the coating that most likely came off.

You should probably call the manufacturer. A quick search of Adorama and B&H; does not reveal the answer (both sites carry this filter).

Let me quote Tiffen (go to their website's FAQ section): "The Tiffen Circular Polarizer is not multicoated at all. We used to carry TMC (Tiffen multicoated) filters but found no significant difference in their light transmission and also that the coating could be easily damaged, resulting in poorer performance. In any case, multicoating is a proprietary process, and we seriously doubt that any lens or filter manufacturer will tell you the exact nature and composition of their coating layers."

The product should state it in the comments or title, and the price reflects if it is truly a multi-pack. There have been errors in the title but the comment section is where I have had to type in the correct quantity even though pricing reflects correctly. My supplier is currently out of stock on the multi-pack for the #8 filters which is normally 2 packs per order. I hope this helps. Thank you.

it comes with a case and a hood. don't know what you mean by filter most filters are not necessary with digital cameras. if you mean a UV for protection a lot of people we don't like to use them they feel extra glass is detrimental to a sharp picture. UV doesn't help.

This is an Infra-Red filter. It filters out all visible light so that the only thing the camera sees is the invisible to the human eye, infra-red wavelengths. You could use this on Black & White, or Color infra-red film, if you have any. I'm pretty sure that no one makes infra-red film anymore though, so you might have a problem there.

Yes. The "pros" will tell you that any additional layer of glass can add distortion and reflection, but I leave a filter on all the time to protect that expensive lens from dirt, dings, fingerprints, etc. Many of today's filters are so well made with multi-coating and high tolerances that I doubt even the experts can tell a difference in 99% of photos. Years ago, so called UV filters added a hint of pink to fight UV. That is no longer the case.

Hi Sam, I owned the 58mm set of these filters and was not happy with them. They are listed as "Japan Optics" but are actually made in China. The warming filter is plastic, not glass. The CP has a minimal polarizing effect at best. And, from what I can tell compared to my Hoya filters, these are definitely not coated optics. I sent mine back yesterday. YMMV. Cheers, SB

Yes, there are seven digital filter effects which can be performed on a picture in the camera, but once you have used one of the effects you cannot perform another one on that same photo.

I am not familiar with the Nikon D80 but I will relate to you my experience. I have not used this filter on a Digital camera yet. I have shot lots of B/W IR with film. I used ASA 50 with the focus slightly off as IR is not the same wavelength as what we see. I have shot only B/W on weathered buildings/structures. The results is usually what I am looking for. Now, with digital I just purchases a filter but will not have a chance to use it until late this month in Wyoming and Montana (ghost towns). Bottom line is if you are shooting B/W, set your ASA to 50 and slightly out of focus. I have no experience with color. You may have to do a little experimenting to get what you want. If you want I can send you some of my photos after I get back from my trip. You might also try using a red filter.

IMHO.....the issues you mention are lens and not filter issues. I use my star filters on one of Nikon's sharpest lenses, the 35mm f 1.8 DX which according to some reviewers, has a boatload of barrel distortion. Who knew? All I ever get are razor-sharp contrasty, colorful images. For all practical purposes, unless you're making huge crops, none of the above "imperfections" are even remotely noticeable, and none are caused by the filters.

You have a superb, professional quality lens. I'm old school, and believe filters should match the quality of the glass. Hence, I use B & W regular neutral density filter. I'm away from my office, and can't give you all the details off the box. I haven't found a thin filter is necessary for what I do with this lens--principally interior and exterior shots of buildings and their details with a Nikon D700 at complete range of F stops and focus lengths. Good luck with your shooting.

these lenses are multi-coated, but not fully-multi-coated. more information can be found at Orions web-site

My filters have NO printing. But one side is more shiny and that's the side that goes toward the machine. Seems to be working very well, I even see more dirt trapped than with the originals!Bob

There is a thin round circular metal piece with an adhesive on one side. That side glues to the camera. The filter itself has a magnetic strip around it. That sticks to the metal piece on the camera like a refrigerator magnetic. Allows you to easily turn the filter to get the best reduction in glare. Cool idea!
