Got filter and seems to work, but would more expensive CPF increase blues and greens? Tiffin? Hoya? Thanks for any replies.

Bought this a long time ago, but have not used it much - CP filters are very "personal" - you like them or you don't - Some are warmer, some cooler, and the more expensive ones usually don't seem to change the relative color intensities like many of the cheaper ones (which can make the whole picture seem quite artificial). I'm afraid it's pretty much trial and error trying to find something that you prefer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

The best value in a protection filter is the Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Clear Protector Digital Filter. I can't believe that price. I recently purchased a used Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 it came with a Sunpack UV filter, which destroyed the image quality of the lens. I took a couple pictures with no filter, to make sure I was going to keep the lens, then promptly ordered a Hoya Pro1 Clear filter for it. The larger 67mm filter for the Tamron, is 3 times what the 58mm is selling for, but, well worth it. There is NO degradation in image quality using the Hoya Pro1 Clear filter.

i believe so. when i researched these filters, i found them in grey as well as yellow, but couldn't see any difference in their physical make up. hope this helps you.

This was new for me too. I came across this kit when I was searching for a filter kit by Hoya. I recommend that you check out their website hoyafilter.com, they detail what each lens is for. I also googled each lens type to get more info on them. To get the most out of them you should really read the manual for the camera or google "how to's" (not much on youtube), it does some pretty neat things. These lenses are great for playing around with the features! Hope this helps a bit. Oh and fyi, the lenses are stackable if you need multiple effects.

It would seem this price is excessive. I found this same filter on the IQ website (and other filter websites) for $69. I would not purchase with this company at this price.

Clear filter, 007M, is the prefered choice and priced higher. UV coating can slightly distort coloring and its benefits are debatable.

I've used it extensively. Skin tones still look spot on and I don't have any sharpness issues which would show up because the Fuji 56mm I use it on is extremely sharp so I was worried about that. Honestly I'm quite surprised how well it works for a budget filter. I was a B&W; only guy but this one has been a nice surprise. No magenta shift like I typically see with budget filters, nice fit too.

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.

No, I use a polorizing filter that will boost color. I also have a UV that does protect the lens. It 's a great lens without any as well

My Hoya filter box was not sealed. The filter is wonderful... my photos are clearer than they were with the cheaper filter from another manufacturer that I bought with the lens. I am happy with the Hoya filter.

My sister recommended opti to me. That's what she and all her friends use and have gotten great results. I don't mind paying little more if it's better product. I am not familiar with now. Hope this helps you to make a decision.

This filter dose have several names that's it is sold buy. However I have 2 and have had no problems with it when filled with matrix,purigen,coarse sponge, fine sponge, and filter flos. The flow is not as night as it says when it full of media but flow is not everything!

Yes, different filtering speeds are available. "Qualitative" is relatively fast filtering. Others have tighter openings and filter more slowly with a higher recovery.

I think the main differences are a better filter and digital controls. But you can do a comparison on their website to make sure.

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.
