A good protection kit for hobbyists
Small kit including an 82mm UV filter, an 82mm lens cap and a small elastic strap for the lens cap. When I go on a photo walk in the countryside/in the forest with friends, between branches that can come back in boomerang, brambles and other thorny vegetation or simply dust, tree sap or other, as an amateur who does not necessarily have the means/the desire to insure his equipment or especially to replace it, I appreciate knowing that the front lens of my lens is protected.

Whether on my 30Mpx camera or the 24Mpx one, even with my most pricked Laowa Macro 100mm in 95% of cases there is no significant visual impact between with and without the filter. For landscape, portrait or studio as a pro with much more expensive equipment my point of view would obviously have been different. But as an amateur, the negligible impact on sharpness is largely offset by the gain in protection.

The lens cap is also more than welcome, classic plastic construction, very good, even if the original lens cap fits the filter too, the cap will be useful for creative filters with a step up ring on lenses of different diameters. I don't really see myself using the little strap, at least not to make the lens cap dangle from the lens itself, I think it's even more annoying than anything else on the lens cap.

For €18.40 at the time of the test the kit is very good.
