Product Description:

Sunlight, daylight, incandescent, fluorescent, and other artificial light sources all have color characteristics that vary significantly. Filters give you better images by adjusting for these light variations. Film and video are rated for a particular color temperature such as that of daylight or tungsten light. Filters are used to correct differences in color temperatures between the recording medium and a light source.The 80A filter balances daylight film for use with most standard tungsten lighting, studio lighting and copy stand lighting.

Tiffen FL-D Filter...Works Great!2009-06-15
I use this filter with a High Definition (HD) Pocket Camcorder to get rid of the greenish color cast created by indoor fluorescent lighting.
The right thing for the price2009-04-13
It's just what i need for the price i was expecting to pay. Saying more its unnecesary. ;)
A nice starter set of filters2009-04-10
This is a great starter set for those looking for some filters but not looking to spend too much. The set comes in a nice soft case that has four pouches for filters. They work just fine with all of my Nikon lenses. I may have been expecting them to have a greater effect on my pictures, and I don't use them too often. If you are a professional, I would look to high-end filters, but for everyone else, this is a good place to start.
Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit2009-01-07
Sent in a timely manner. Lense came in a nice case. Would definitely recommend product. I would also recommend purchasing from Amazon.
Essentials Kit - inexpensive for a reason.2008-12-11
Not bad really, just on the cheaper side. UV does what is says, although there can be some excessive flare if not careful since it is not coated. 812 I have not used (not really needed these days on Digitals), Polarizing feels somewhat gritty when turning.

All in all it's a get what you pay for scenario. Probably fine for casual shooters, but I have already decided against buying Tiffen in the future...in fact I have bought several Hoya Multi-Coated UV's and the difference is night and day. I may return these depending on the process - they came from a third party vendor and it may not be worth the trouble.

Summary - they work, but if you really care about your pics and gear step up to Hoya or Heliopan or similar.
