October 18, 2010

Useless lens cap strap.
Filters are as awaited – normal. I purchased this set with new camera, and otherwise I would never considered purchase of cleaning kit separately. :)

Review of Nikon HB-38 Lens Hood Replacement – Nikon 4129

October 18, 2010

Ya can use your hand to block the sun, but then ya only have one to shoot with. Also, I dont use UV protectors, so lens protection is a valuable purpose of a hood. My only complaint is that everything for this hobby is so expensive. My other complaint is that it can be inconvenient to carry and take on and off. Perhaps a semi rigid hood that flips out for use and flips back for carry so ya never have to take it off and risk having it roll down the street or lost – I dunno.

Review of Hoya Pro1 Digital 77mm TWO Multi-Coated Glass Filters Kit with Hoya Pro 1 UV + Circular PL Polarizer Filter for Canon, Nikon, Olympus & Pentax Lenses with 77mm Filter Size

October 11, 2010

It’s a Hoya.Works like it should, but you pay the price for a great product.

Product Description
Kit includes: 1) Hoya 77mm PRO1 Digital UV Filter; 2) Hoya 77mm PRO1 Digital Circular PL Polarizer Filter; >>> Both filters include: Hoya USA Warranty. >>> The Hoya Pro 1 Digital Series Ultraviolet UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize the photography experience of the digital SLR user. UV filters, which absorb ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens. >>> The Hoya Pro 1 Digital Series Circular Polarizing (PL) Filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Hoya’s polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting. 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. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies. Polarizers come in two versions, linear and circular, and autofocus cameras will perform best with a circular polarizer. >>> Hoya Pro1 filters are optimized for use with digital SLR cameras, but they are also perfect for traditional 35mm SLR applications, including black and white photography.

Review of Hoya DMC Pro1 Digital 67mm TWO Multi-Coated Glass Lens Filters (UV Haze & Circular PL Polarizer) + Accessory Kit for Canon, Nikon, Sony, Olympus & Pentax Lenses

October 2, 2010

Loved the filter holder, and everything is great, but probably a little over priced. I really didn’t need the lens cleaning items, but now I have extras. The polarizer works great though and I have had very little problem with vignetting, which was the reason for the purchase. So, all in all, I am happy!

Review of Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX “VR” Zoom Nikkor Lens + Deluxe Accessory Kit

October 1, 2010

The lens is amazing for its price (it deserves 5 stars).Although it has a plastic mount, it performs good and makes sharp images.The filters in the kit are of very bad quality (1 star is more than enough for the filters).I was so happy with the lens but so disappointed by the filters.The remaining articles in the kit are not bad (4 stars for the remaining kit excluding the filters).

Product Description
Nikon 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED IF AF-S DX VR Zoom Nikkor Lens: Reduces the effects of camera shake, allowing hand-held shooting at up to 3 shutter speeds slower.
