I am a beginner who is learning to use my first DSLR and wanted some basic filters to experiment with. These seem very nice for the price and I was not worried about the quality of an off brand.

Comments about Canon FS-72U 72mm Filter Set:
The filters work great. The box that came with the kit is hard to snap close. The dividers inside the box are made of paper board. I wish the box is made with more padding. The reason for the 4 star rating is because of the quality of the box.

Comments about Canon FS-72U 72mm Filter Set:
Came in a nice case. 3 filters in all. All nice quality. Polarizer is a little stiff to turn. Otherwise, they all work like similar filters.

Comments about Canon FS-72U 72mm Filter Set:
The Circular Polarizer filter is great outside but is also good to take out extreme glare and cut down on the reflection when you don't want blown out highlights. I keep the Neutral Density on my lens to protect it. I haven't used the UV filter as yet. It is a nice little case that the three filters come in to protect them from getting scratched.

Comments about Canon FS-72U 72mm Filter Set:
Three good quality filters in a well designed package. You can spend twice as much on 1 polarizing filter and end up with the same results. Nice to have a UV and gradient filter in the same package for a very reasonable price.

Comments about Canon FS-72U 72mm Filter Set:
I use this filter set in my EOS 40D. First of all, you should not take the lens cap out without having a UV filter attached. More than its visual improvement by absorbing ultraviolet rays, it protects your lenses from dust, scratches and more serious damage. The circular polarizer is a nice resource to have. It is useful when dealing with reflective surfaces for example. I did not use the ND8 filter yet. It reduces the light entering lens and is useful when shooting at extremely bright conditions. Additionally, it comes with a nice leather box to store the filters.
