First of all, I am an amateur photographer.
This kit is exactly as stated.... high quality in my opinion.
Works perfectly so far, just don't forget that the Circular Polarizing filter is adjustable. (it means that even after you screw it on, it can still turn, this is normal and allows for different levels of polarization). Buy this kit... it's inexpensive and high quality.
FYI - the lens cover still snaps onto these filters just fine.

Very handy lens kit when you have to take a picture of city or nature from the long distance. Polarizing filter will remove reflections of dust from atmosphere. But full power you can achieve only when the sun located from 90 degrees from the object, so the best time to use it is evening and morning hours. It also makes sky real blue, and you can remove reflections from water, while taking pics of fishes. UV filter is just a protection. It might help with lens glare, but don't expect much from it.

The polarizing filter does not always work, you have to guess when to stop turning. You may unscrew the filter from the lens when turning.

I don't know much about polarized lenses but I am not too excited by this product. I have played around with it but my pictures come out with grades of color without uniformity, and can't seem to get a good setting.
It also adversely affects my autofocus. I get sharper images without the lens.
The poor result I get maybe my fault but its not been worth the trouble. So use your judgement and check other reviews and other lenses before you buy.

pro - good price
cons - bad image quality and very hard to rotate this filter.
