Tiffen 72mm Digital Neutral Density Filter Kit (ND 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 + Wallet)

Love them, they work especially well when shooting in bright sunlight but need to have longer exposures.

This is a must have for serious enthusiasts. Great value.

Does the job.

Being an otherwise fairly experienced photographer, I got these as a first filter set for working with longer exposures.Pros:They cut light.Fairly inexpensive.Cons:Heavy.Thick.Not stackable.*Carrying case isn't great, I bought end caps, but these add even more weight.Vignetting.Image quality degradation.* If you have a wide lens, or probably any full-frame lens, stacking will cause the edges of the filter(s) to cut into the image. If you're using these on a cropped sensor, they could be stacked, but the image quality is pretty bad with one, let alone two or three.Bottom line is that I got these to see if I even cared to step into the long exposure world, so I didn't expect much. But, to be honest, if I were to give myself or anyone else advice on a first ND, I'd suggest a single 6-stop filter and then go from there. In my case, I'll be buying a square filter bracket with a 6-stop and two mounts, one for each of my lenses (72mm and 49mm). For anyone with a full frame 16mm or similar lens, don't buy a circular filter. You're going to get vignetting.Also - with square filters, you can screw on a CPL under the ND to cut reflections or enhance sky while also darkening your image.

Helps you take great pictures in bright daylight

Works great!

I'm pretty neutral on these filters. They do EXACTLY what I expected, nothing more, nothing less. They don't serve me coffee; they can't carry a conversation; they are, well, pretty dense when it comes to doing anything but darken images. Yet they give me shade, just what I expected. Had they done more than sit there blocking the light I would have given them more stars but hey, if they were employees they'd have gotten the same 3 out of 5.It goes to show that if everyone were fair about this ranking system then there would be a lot more 3's; but just like college, grade inflation is everywhere.
