Customer Rating:
Summary: disappointing
Comment: This was a very disappointing purchase. The item was never received and I had no contact number for the company. This was a complete waste of my money.

Summary: Where has my lens been?
Comment: I found the protective lens was covered with find dusts when I twristed on the 50mm lens. The root cause was there is no wrapping outside of the hard plastic case. As I contacted Amazon customer service, the options to me were to return-for-refund or to exchange.

Summary: Gets the job done
Comment: I am using this cover on a nikkor 50mm 1.8 lens. Been using it for about 4 months. It does what it should protect my lens. It is built tough, glass and metal, not plastic. Tiffen is a great brand. Price was low also.

Summary: Essentials Kit - inexpensive for a reason.
Comment: Not bad really, just on the cheaper side. UV does what is says, although there can be some excessive flare if not careful since it is not coated. 812 I have not used (not really needed these days on Digitals), Polarizing feels somewhat gritty when turning.

All in all it's a get what you pay for scenario. Probably fine for casual shooters, but I have already decided against buying Tiffen in the future...in fact I have bought several Hoya Multi-Coated UV's and the difference is night and day. I may return these depending on the process - they came from a third party vendor and it may not be worth the trouble.

Summary - they work, but if you really care about your pics and gear step up to Hoya or Heliopan or similar.
