Tiffen 52TPK1 Overview

This kit consists of a: a UV Protection filter, an 812 Warming filter, a circular polarizer and 4-pocket filter pouch.

UV Protection Filters
Haze(UV) filters are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. 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.

812 Filters
Tiffen's exclusive 812 Filter improves skin tones and is ideal for portraits taken on a cloudy day or outdoors in shade on a sunny day. It also absorbs blue cast often caused by electronic flash and adds warmth to pale washed-out flesh tones.

Circular Polarizers
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. Filter factor is between 2.3 and 2.8 (approx. +1.3 stops).

Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems).

Tiffen 52TPK1 Reviews

A Good Value

While you can find higher quality filters at higher cost as well, for my purpose and wallet this kit is just fine. The intended use is on my Nikon 35mm f/1,8 lens. This is a good match. Most of the time 2 of the 3 filters will be down in the bottom of my bag but it is good to know you have them. I am happy to find that they screw on and off without binding and feel substantial not cheap and flimsy.

Very nice product

Pretty standard set of filters. Nothing to fancy. Very good quality for the price. Tiffen is always a solid choice

What do the terms fld, cpl and nd mean? Sorry, I am still a novice. Ted

Thanks for your interest in Tiffen filters. This kit includes three filters, a UVP (Ulta Violet Protector), a CPL (Circular Polarizer) and an 812 Warming Filter. The terms you mentioned do not apply to this kit, except for the CPL. FLD is a Flourescent Light filter and ND means Neutral Density.
