Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Opteka 58mm HD2 Professional Filter Kit (UV, PL, FLD)
Customer Review: Junk filters, uncoated, reflective, STAY AWAY!
Summary: 1 Stars
If you have a DSLR which you always leave in "AUTO" mode because you don't know the difference between aperture, exposure, depth of field, bracketing and lens flare, then by all means get this filters.
However, if you know how your camera works and like to take GOOD pictures, then stay away from these filters!
These filters are uncoated. Light reflecting off the front of your camera lens will be perfectly reflected by the filter right back into your camera, causing your image to wash out. You can sometimes even see a nice rainbow image of your own lenses anti-reflective coatings in your picture.
The edge rings are SILVER, which reflect light into the filter and lens at bad angles, causing ghosting, lens flare, image wash out and just lousy results in general.
The edge of the filters are NOT BLACKENED, but are in white plastic goop which reflects light from the filter edge back into the filter and into your camera, once again causing washout, lens flare, etc.
You may ask yourself "why, if this guy thinks he knows what he is doing, did he even buy these filters?" Fair question. The ANSWER is 47th Street Photo used to advertise this filter kit as multicoated with black edge rings and blackened glass edge; but what they actually sent me were these. When I asked them to ship the correct filters, they claimed that these were the correct filters and that images may vary.
The reason these filters don't have a bunch of 1 star ratings is no photographer that knows much about lenses and filters would consider filters with silver edge rings and no anti-reflective coatings.
I would not buy these filters for $1 at a garage sale, they are that bad. Don't waste your money.
