It seems a lot of people who rated this so low received something they weren't expecting. Apparently the product description has since changed, I expected the Zeikos filters, and that's what I got, and I'm extremely impressed with them. for the price you CANNOT go wrong. they do just what they say, the CP Filter creates gorgeous color, the uv filter is great, I don't really have much use for the FLD yet, so I can't comment on that. The threading wasn't difficult at all, I'd imagine it could be if you were trying to do it extremely quickly.
I think these are amazing for the price I paid.

I am so happy with this filter set, but do recognize that at ten bucks, these aren't the best performing filters with the most durable construction. Still, I highly recommend them, and am very happy with their performance...especially considering their cost!
To start off with, I am well aware that most serious photographers would probably benefit from getting higher-end filters from bigger brands than Zeikos (i.e. Hoya, B+W), especially if they have premium glass. That being said, I'm also aware many people are on tight budgets- myself included - and it sometimes seems excessive to spend so much on expensive filters, especially if you are new to photography. This is a great solution to someone interested in learning more about what effects various filters can have.
CONSTRUCTION
These filters are cheap, and they feel cheap/weak, too. That was fine for me since I knew for ten bucks that was to be expected. I don't expect these to last forever, its more to get my feet wet with filters than any long term investment. For roughly three dollars a filter, I'm very happy with my purchase, even if these are cheaply made as the other reviewers have noted.
AUTOFOCUSING
I noticed from my personal experience when I use the filters with the kit lens that came w/ my Canon Rebel, the 18-55mm IS, auto-focus is fine. With my cheap telephoto, however (the 75-300 non-IS, non-USM), auto-focus was very non-responsive. This was in broad daylight, so I don't think it was an issue of too little light. (If someone knows why this is the case, feel free to let me know!) Either way, aside from the strange focusing w/ my telephoto, I was VERY happy with the performance on my other lenses.
QUALITY
Image quality was fine (for the most part), and the filters - especially the polarizer - without a doubt made a very noticeable difference. I will try to upload images to illustrate this point. I must note, however, that as of now I have only tried this on relatively cheap lenses...if one were to use this on expensive, high-quality lenses, there might be a more noticeable degredation of quality from these filters. My experiences, however, have been positive.
CONCLUSIONS
My assumption is, if you're seriously considering an intro filter set for ten dollars in the first place, you probably will be happy with this set! More likely than not, you're going to benefit from trying these out, and worse comes to worst, you one day upgrade to a better set. O personally think that for the price, this is a very worthwhile purchase.

I would love to review this product but am still waiting on the shipment of my order. I have been waiting since 31 January 10. It would have been nice to hear if it was a back order item or maybe the pony express horse was sick or whatever. Don't buy from this company if you need it quick!

The quality of the filter wasn't so good. I can even see a small scratch on the UV filter through my eye. But with the low price, what can you expect? At least it help protect my investment of the more pricey lens, and it doesn't seen to effect the quality of the picture.

If I were a professional, I could maybe justify paying a lot more for filters. But I am not. I like to take pictures as a hobby. These are great for photographers like me. They come individually wrapped with a cool little leather storage case and seem to be really well made. I take really good care of my things so I see no reason why these shouldn't last for a long time.
