Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this kit for my wife who is still an amateur but learning fast. I also bought a Canon version of this kit for myself, which are the same products but in a different size. This review is a mix of both our opinions. I had my eye on this lens set for a week before I decided to go ahead and give it a shot. I had my doubts after reading some of the reviews left by others but after testing out all the included parts I can say without a doubt this was definitely a great buy. I highly recommend this kit for beginners as well as more advanced photographers in citations where they just want to have fun with their camera or don't want to carry a heavy or super expensive lens, such as when traveling aboard or hiking in the woods. LENSES: The lenses are MUCH better than I would have expected. The wide angle itself is worth the cost of the kit alone. Nobody is saying these are the same quality as $400 brand name professional lenses, but as an advanced photographer that doesn't have the money to spend on professional equipment I am more than satisfied with the results. Lenses were well built, high quality looking and even came in protective pouches. I used the wide angle to get some great group shots of the family and was very pleased with the results. I was able to fit almost twice as much into my shot compared to no wide angle. The telephoto zoom added a nice little effect, not too much, but for the price it was still nice to have. FILTERS: Filters fit perfectly and worked as advertised. Very satisfied! MACRO FILTER KIT: These filters looked and felt like quality products. The wide angle lens also came with a detachable macro lens that allows for amazing close up macro photos. I will post some of my wife's photos here this weekend. These macro filters work more like magnifying lenses and can be stacked one on top of the other to take high detail shots of flowers, insects, stamps, etc. LENS HOOD: No surprises here. I've owned plenty of lens hoods in my time. Not original Nikon brand but well made, sturdy, and gets the job done. I would not pay for a name brand hood which I will probably lose anyway and costs $20. CLEANING SUPPLIES: Like others said, a nice little bonus. I was pleasantly surprised by the microfibers. I use them to clean the fingerprints and smudges off my lens and tablet. My wife uses this on her iphone and loves it. RING ADAPTERS: This kit fit fine on my wife's camera and the rings were not needed but are nice to have in a pinch. They are made of metal and are lightweight. All in all, my wife and I are very happy with our purchase. I was not looking to spend too much money and for less than $100, this was a bargain by any standard. The entire ordering process was a breeze. I received my package in 3 business days and it even included a hand signed note from the owner of the company guaranteeing 100% satisfaction. Nice products, exceptional service, and a very reasonable price. I will repeat here what I said in another lens set review I gave: I think it's very unhelpful and unfair of other reviewers to review this set without taking into account that you are paying less than $100. If you want professional level items, go pay for them. These items are awesome for the price and I think will be more than sufficient for 95% of the photographers I come in contact with. In this context I absolutely give this kit 5 stars. Hope this helps!
