 It does the job October 3, 2008
The Tiffen 58mm uv filter does the job. My main purpose is to protect the lens, which it does fine , with no noticeable optical effect. Any improvement in picture quality is a plus.

 Got a "Demo" or re-stocked damaged return October 1, 2008
I just decided I'm never purchasing low cost optics by mail again. I purchased a UV Haze and a circular polarizer. The polarizer was perfect, pristine and new. A great buy. The UV Haze had a worn case, when opened was mis-repacked with the instruction manual between the filter and the packing foam protector. The manual was well worn and obviously USED a lot. And of course the UV Haze filter was SCRATCHED. This is a glass filter with no coatings so it takes a real good ding to scratch it with a nice deep 1/4 inch scratch.
I could spend $5-$10 to return it for an exchange, and maybe I will not get a damaged one again, and maybe I will. I question any company that re-stocks an obviously damaged and very worn item. After spending for the extra postage the mail order filter will not be a very good buy.
UV filter - good price and value September 29, 2008
FOr the most part, this is the least exciting filter you will ever purchase. Yawn! Look at it - it is clear. It does nothing that you can see. That is the point with this. Most of what it provides is protection and safety.
Note that this is NOT one of the thin type filters that allow you to stack several on a lens without getting that nasty vignetting. However, that being said, I did stack this filter and a CPL filter on the 18-55mm kit lnes yesterday with no problem.
VERY DISAPOINTED! September 22, 2008
As some of the reviews I read online had said, the package/kit of 3 filters was an overall disappointment. The polarizer was the worst. I have a six dollar pair of polaroid sunglasses I bought at Wallgreen's that remove more reflection off of objects, deepen the skys blue better than this junk. Of course the filter did not even come any where close to a Nikon filter that I've had and used for 25 years. Also as reported from others here the quality of the metal finnish and threads was bad! I sent it all back within a hour of recieving the delivery of the delivery.
It works... September 20, 2008
It's a polarizing filter. It does what it is supposed to do. Pretty good quality, too. Using it at wide angles will cause vignetting.
Pretty expensive.
