Product Description
Sunpak's Twin Pack combines the two most popular filters: Ultra Violet & Circular Polarizer. The Ultra Violet (UV) filter absorbs ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. A muliti-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films, it eliminates haze and serves as a lens protector. Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised. The Circular Polariser filter is used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also saturate colors and increase contrast creating dramatic sky/cloud contrast. Increases contrast equally well with black & white film.

 Great filters August 26, 2008
Even though Sunpak doesn't cost as much as some "others", don't think the quality isn't there. I have never had a problem with the Sunpak filters.
A must have combo! April 27, 2008
I purchased a set of these when I bought my Sigma 105mm macro, and I am very pleased with the quality of these filters. I would recommend them to anyone interested.
Good Product, Great Price March 7, 2008
I purchased one set of this same product first in a local camera shop in Oregon. I liked the filters, but then discovered the store charged me over 7 times the cost. I was able to purchase 2 sets of these filters for half the cost of my local camera shop. Not only did I save a ton - I got free shipping AND a great filter.
Functional and economical December 19, 2007
Bought this set up for my Canon G9 which is equiped with a LADC58H lens adaptor (which I also got at Amazon). The adaptor does multi function duties as a lens adaptor, shade, protector and mount for the polarizer/filters. The camera is my backup and goto for when I don't want to lug my digital SLR around. But I wanted something to protect the lens (I do a lot of outdoor stuff) and the polarizer gets a lot of use/abuse. I expect it to get scratched or scored (windy days at the beach) but at this price its tolerable! And I'd rather sacrifice the filters than the camera lens/barrel. The polarizer ring continues to rotate smoothly and screws easily into the mount. It also arrived undamaged from Amazon. Good value in my book.
 Better than I was expecting November 2, 2006

I'm a fairly recent entrant to the world of photography, and as a poor student I didn't have the money to buy really nice equipment yet, so these were the first two filters I bought. I was expecting them to basically be junk, but I was somewhat surprised that they worked as well as they did. That said, they are definitely not anywhere near the level of a B+W or Hoya filter, but if you are looking for something cheap to slightly enhance your picture quality, these filters aren't a bad choice. The UV Haze filter was pretty good actually--it didn't cut out all of the haze, but it cut out a good deal. I've enjoyed that one. The polarizer did basically everything that a polarizer is supposed to do (enhance colors, cut through water, etc), but the quality is not on par with nicer filters. The sky is never as deep and rich a blue as you would get with a nicer polarizer, and the colors tend to have a lighter pastel tinge rather than the deep, rich colors you would expect from a high-quality filter. It does cut through the glare of water, but not particularly well. Overall, however, they are good enough filters that I am still using them until I can upgrade to Hoya filters. If you plan on buying these until you can afford something better, it's not a bad way to start.
