Filter review
I had read previous reviews about the Tiffen filters and was cautious about buying them. When they arrived I inspected them and found all 3 to be in perfect condition. I have been using the UV and Polarizer so far with excellent results. I would recommend this set to future buyers.

Good quality photos possible
I own the 67mm thread set, and use it with my Fujifilm S100fs.
The S100fs has a very close macro distance of about 1cm, unfortunately only in the 28mm position of the lens. That leaves the object kind of small in the picture. To counter that, I bought this close-up lens set. The three lenses work like a magnifying glass, with different power.
I generally only use the one with the greatest power, and the results are very acceptable. I tried to use all three lenses together, but that gives you noticeable degradation in picture quality.
Those close-up lenses are by no means an alternative solution to a dedicated macro lens (with extension tubes), but if you have no choice, like with a non-interchangeable lens camera like the S100fs, it is a very good work-around. What you get is a bit more creative freedom, but it certainly is no silver bullet. Nonetheless, I am pleased with the quality of the pictures I get with the close-up lenses, finding the greatest power lens the most useful.

So far, so good
Bought this lens kit a month ago. Mostly wanted a UV protector to protect my lens and the polarizer to increase the deepness of the blue skies while in the Galapagos Islands. The 812 Warming filter was an added bonus considering the price of the other two if bought separately. So far they have held up well and not caused any problems. They appear to be made satisfactorily and I had no problems while on the trip, a plus since I was on a small ship for 8 days and constantly taking a small boat to the islands everyday in a saltwater atmosphere. I use may camera almost daily, so we will see how they hold up to everyday use after a few months.

perfect
Just make sure it's the right size. Also for indoor shots this is obviously darker but on outside shots it helps a lot! This is a must for any photographer that shoots outside.

Great filter
Even though I'm still learning all that I can do with this filter I'm already impressed with the results I'm getting.
Great filter. Shipped quick from Adorama. No regrets.
