Love them
(5 out of 5) by Bone on Oct 25, 2007 (South Florida)I ordered this set of filters just before my vaction were I visited a few aquariums and such as well as just visiting family.
The quality is just GREAT. I did have to clean the lenses when I opened them as there was some factory film/protection oil on them. After cleaning them wow, picture quality was vastly improved.
I have the Canon S3 IS with the lens adapter to 58mm and This set was a perfect buy for me.
These filter easily attach to one another as well (incase you weren't sure of this).
The UV filter I keep on the lens adapter to protect the lense itself and it doesn't degrade indoor pictures at all!
Circular Polarized filter: The best feature is that it has a slightly wider ring so that it's easily seperated from the UV filter, You can also rotate the CPL filter while it's screwed on. It has an independant rotation from it's mounting base. Not entire sure as to why this is as it is a Circular PL filter but I'm sure there is a reason (I'm still learning as I'm sure the Vets are more than aware of).
Conclusion: Great filter set and I would recomment to anyone that is looking. I'll post some pictures once I get the time taken with each of the filters. I'll go out and do a rotation set (unfilter, uv, uv+cpl, pl) so that you can get a better idea as to how much the images are enhanced with these filters.

Two great filters
(5 out of 5) by Michael on Jan 20, 2008 (Kansas USA)These are two high quality filters. I purchased this primarily for the polarizer, which is fairly low profile and works quite well. The UV filter is a relatively high end filter that has served me well. So far, both seem easy to keep clean.
Great filter set
(5 out of 5) by S. Dy on Aug 9, 2008 (Canada)High quality glass with low profile ring. The only issue I have with the circular polarizer is that the ring does not turn as freely. It gets harder to turn on certain areas of the ring. Overall an exellent buy.
