Hoya 58mm Introductory Filter Kit - Ultraviolet (UV), Circular Polarizer, Warming Filter (Intensifier) and Nylon Pouch
The Hoya 58mm Introductory Filter Kit is a general purpose starter kit.
Ultraviolet (UV) Filter
Hoya Haze (UV) Filters are wise investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
Circular Polarizing Filter
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
Warming Filter (Intensifier)
The Hoya Warming filter controls the bluish coloration that affects daylight film. They can also remove excessive blue from the effects of electronic flash. Reduces blue to green color and makes the color of human skin look more sun-tanned. Combination with Pro 1UV filter is recommended for outdoor shooting.
Note! Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems and video cameras).
UV Filters
- If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection
- Haze filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
- Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees
Circular Polarizing Filters
- This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
Warming Intensifier
- Works on the blue/green end of spectrum to give subjects a "warmer", healthier, more tanned look

I bought the Hoya 58mm introductory kit because I was looking to get a few filters, specifically a polarizer and a UV filter. I thought for the price it was worth a shot. In hindsight, this was a great purchase.
I keep the UV filter on at all times (helps keep you from scratching/damaging your actual lens) and it hasn't impacted the quality of my pictures at all. The warming filter is fun to play with as it adds a little more yellow to the overall tone (very nice for "warming" portraits), but my favorite of the 3 is definitely the polarizing filter. On vacation recently, I really got to use it to full use at the beach and pool and it didn't disappoint. It does a nice job of bringing out the colors in my skies as it cuts the reflection in the water.
All three filters come packed in a folding carrying case with a velcro enclosure which is great for throwing in my bag. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this set for anyone who's looking to pick up a couple of filters for a minimal price.

I had two of the filters in this kit pop into pieces. One when I tried to remove it from my lens after leaving it on continuously for three months and the second as I was about to put it on the lens for the first time. Surprised by the poor construction, but maybe I got a bad batch.

Comments about Hoya 58mm Introductory Filter Kit:
Filters are a cheap and easy way to enhance your photography. If your taking pictures on a pro level camera without filters....you're not a pro. They will save you hours in editing and they protect your expensive lens from scratches and particles. Invest with the best ;)

Comments about Hoya 58mm Introductory Filter Kit:
Great starter kit for an intermediate to advanced level photographer. The UV filter will be one I leave on to protect my lens at all times. The polarizer made my photos from a road trip to Montana really pop with all that blue sky. I can't wait for fall to arrive so I can really play with the warming filter, hello fall colors!

My first filter kit. Works great but then again I do not have anything to compare it to besides not having a filter at all. Getting a filter is definitely worth the money.
