Digital camera reviews of Tiffen 52mm Photo Essentials Filter Kit
Digital camera Review: Great for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm an amateur getting into photography and this product was great for my purposes. The only filter that has been somewhat of a problem to get used to has been the polarizer. It has on 2 occasions really distorted the light on my composure. It may be something I'm doing wrong but it has only happened with the polarizer. I don't really use the UV protector and the 812 warmer filter is really useless given that you can just increase the temp on any photo editing software to achieve the same effect. The neutral density filter works great, though my dad tells me there are better ones available. Overall, for the price it seems that you're getting a great deal. It's a great buy for beginners/non-hardcore photographers.Digital camera Review: Great set for the money
Summary: 4 Stars
Set arrived BEFORE Amazon said it would! And it is peak Xmas shopping time now. Amazon is great.
Only complaint is that two of the filters had finger prints on them . . . but at least that meant someone had done QC at Tiffen before shipping them out. Easy to clean.
The case they come in is worth half the price. I store the retaining ring from my Canon S3 in the case when I have the extension tube on with the filter. The 812 warming filter is also great for overcast rainy days. For the price, you can't really do better.
Oh, and the polarizer filter did work fine when I checked it against my computer monitor. Thanks to the person that suggested how to check it! Pictures of my Koi are now possible.
Digital camera Review: Horrible Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
Based on the past reviews, the product seems to be a great deal. However, I am writing this review based on the customer service of ADORAMA. I haven't had the oppurtunity to use this product yet, due to the poor customer service of ADORAMA. Therefore, this review is to inform you about their service, and NOT about the filters.
I purchased this item on Oct. 13 and waited anxiously for the product. When the box arrived at my front door, I didn't hesitate to open it. To my surprise, the box was empty. There was no product in the box! There was an invoice, but no filters. So I called ADORAMA and they gave me a bit of a hassle. Finally I got them to ship me out a new filter set. When I got this new set (a week later) I opened the box and found my filters. However, when I looked at the filters, one of them had a big crack on the glass. They sent me a used set!!! This definately upset me, but I was able to keep my cool and call customer service. They told me that they would pay for the filters to be shipped back, and once received, they would ship me out a new set. I asked how long the process would take, and they said about 2 weeks. Now, I was already upset that so much had gone wrong, but I decided to be a nice customer and wait out the two weeks.
Well, it is now Dec 12, and I still have no filter set! I called ADORAMA today and told them of my problem. The representative put me on hold for a minute then came back and said, "okay, I have placed another order for you, thank you." There was no apology given, nor any offer of a speedy shipping. I then started to get politely heated (upset, yet still kind)and asked to speak with a manager. The customer service rep told me to hold, and then....click, they hung up on me. Now I can understand that as a customer rep, they must receive hundreds of rude customers, but I have in no way been rude to them. This company needs to work on their customer service skills. I don't think its fair that they charge me (back in Oct.) for the product, yet I still have nothing to show for it today (in Dec.)
STAY AWAY FROM ADORAMA!!! THEY ARE A HORRIBLE COMPANY WITH NO CUSTOMER SERVICE SKILLS.
Digital camera Review: I don't know how to rate this item ....
Summary: 3 Stars
I was supposed to get this with two day shipping from DHL... Five days later and still have not received...
Don't be in a hurry to get this or any item shipped by DHL
Digital camera Review: Just what you need
Summary: 4 Stars
The three filters here are what any new photographer needs. Nothing fancy about them. They just do what they are supposed to do. Get a UV filter for every lens.
