Just another seller selling trash and calling it treasure
(1 out of 5) by Technology Guru on Feb 15, 2009 (Beaverton, Oregon)Olympus does not make filters.
These filters are total junk. They are NOT MULTI-COATED. Look at the reflections off the glass in the picture! Coatings are supposed to minimize reflections, these filters reflect like an uncoated piece of tinted glass.
These are pure junk, worse than useless, the reflections from the filter will appear in your picture.
For whatever reason, camera accessory sellers make crazy claims about quality, I have yet to purchase a good filter via Amazon or Ebay.
When it comes to filters, I suggest you buy from your local camera shop. At least go into a camera shop and ask to see a high end filter so you know what a good filter looks like! Once you know, you will be able to spot fakes like these in a nanosecond.

Not Olympus brand as title states...just a cheap off-brand
(1 out of 5) by Djenesis on Feb 10, 2009 (Joplin, MO)I bought these shortly after I bought my Olympus E-420 back in May of 2008, I would not recommend these to anyone because they are nothing more than cheap off-brand filters. It said in the title that they were the Olympus brand but by the time I had received them and realized I had been lied to the seller had changed the title so that the word Olympus was not even in the title anymore although my invoice still had the original title on it so I contacted the seller but they were no help...after all they got their money so who cares who they lied to. But anyways, if you're wanting a cheap set of filters these are it, but you can find them cheaper elsewhere. Don't be fooled, they are not a high quality brand like Olympus as it states...if it still states that, it changes back and forth all the time.

Olympus 58mm High Resolution 3-piece Filter Set - Love the Polarizer
(5 out of 5) by Donna S. Pence on Dec 20, 2008 (Jersey City, NJ USA)Bought this 3 piece filter set mostly for the Polarizer lens, and it was really worth the price, just for this lens. Already had the UV, and haven't used the fluorescent yet. But have been able to take some knockout sunset photographs using the Polarizer & the sunset setting on my EVOLT 410. It was worth the cheap price for this alone. Nice having the little holder for the filter lens too.

Great Inexpensive Filters
(5 out of 5) by J. Sunderland on Nov 18, 2008These are great. I have no negative things to say about them. Of course, they are inexpensive and thus housed in a cheap flimsy box, but that is not a real problem for me.

Great Price On Len Filters
(5 out of 5) by C. Sylstra on Oct 10, 2008 (Oxford, NY USA)Purchased for my husband, he has used & said he likes both. Since he is pretty picky that's a compliment.
