Average filters, below average holders
I used Cokin filters a lot way back in the day of film. Made a recent DSLR camera upgrade and wanted to get a P series Cokin setup, but not for the kind of money Cokin wants. Figured this kit sounded like a budget alternative with several good reviews. I’m not inclined to agree with any of the good reviews.The filters are not labeled (Cokin prints a label on the corner of their filters). You have to take each filter out and hold it up to the light to guess what it is. The colors aren’t complicated, but picking out the ND filters is a pain. You may have to take out several ND filters and hold them side by side to guess which is which.The storage pouches are serious overkill. They are plastic filters. They don’t need this much cushioning. They include 4 huge “wallets” for 24 filters. Each wallet is 8” x 4-1/2” x 1-1/4” when folded. That’s about 5” depth when all stacked together, taking up 180 cubic inches of space. And that doesn’t include the frames, adapters, or hood. Who has this kind of extra space in their camera bag? My old Cokin filters slide into plastic boxes that hold 10 filters in 2 inches of depth in a box just slightly larger than a filter.Next big problem is the single filter frame. This one has such small tabs on the back that it doesn’t stay on the lens adapter. Looks like it was designed for an adapter with at least 1mm larger diameter flange on it. Also, the hood mounting tabs don’t fit the hood. Basically, the single filter holder is garbage. I tried using it and it just falls off the adapter ring during use.The 3-filter frame looks to be modeled after Cokin and has tolerances that fit the adapters. So, at least one frame is usable. The hood also fits on this one.Contrary to product description, the lens adapters are NOT double-threaded, so you cannot put your lens cap on the adapter.Not sure what the deal is in the description about including “2 Tripods”. There are no tripods in the kit, nor would one expect there to be. Looks like a typo.My overall opinion is that this filter set is not worth the price paid. I got a frame holder adapters and some budget filters. Need to find a more compact way to hold the filters from another source.

Amazing Macro lens!!!
My wife purchased this for me as a gift and I’m very happy with it. I don’t really use the wide angle but I heavily use the maco clip. I’m posting some of the photos I’ve taken with it using my IPhone 8 Plus.I would really like to see this company create an even stronger macro (maybe 25X)!

WOW, super lens!
I am VERY HAPPY with this purchase - takes really nice photos - high quality materials - nice led light with 3 settings included - comes with a clever credit card usb stick with video instructions and information - lifetime warranty - clips on securely to my Pixel 3 camera, not too tight to damage it but secure enough to keep in in place and not move. Reasonable price for the quality lenses and the accessories.
