Hi guys is the CPL in this kit multi-coated? There is a 77mm AGFA CPL that sells on here for $40 on it's own, is it the same one as in the kit?

I don't know, in my AGFA Kit the manufacture instructions no said nothing about the multi-coated CPL lens,They do not seem to be multi-coated,The CPL has a minimal polarizing effect in the pictures.

Hi Sam, I owned the 58mm set of these filters and was not happy with them. They are listed as "Japan Optics" but are actually made in China. The warming filter is plastic, not glass. The CP has a minimal polarizing effect at best. And, from what I can tell compared to my Hoya filters, these are definitely not coated optics. I sent mine back yesterday. YMMV. Cheers, SB

Don't know. It is a 77mm AGFA CPL. The package states, "Removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun." Maybe that will help. Otherwise, you can probably go to their website and see if there are more detailed specs.

Mine just say JAPAN OPTICS. They do not seem to be multi-coated. I use the polarized filter to protect the lens, and it does a fine job of that at a low price. I would recommend a more expensive single filter for more serious work.

I'm not sure. There's nothing about it on the filter. Is there any way to tell if it's multi-coated by looking at it?

Let me quote Tiffen (go to their website's FAQ section): "The Tiffen Circular Polarizer is not multicoated at all. We used to carry TMC (Tiffen multicoated) filters but found no significant difference in their light transmission and also that the coating could be easily damaged, resulting in poorer performance. In any case, multicoating is a proprietary process, and we seriously doubt that any lens or filter manufacturer will tell you the exact nature and composition of their coating layers."

Bought this a long time ago, but have not used it much - CP filters are very "personal" - you like them or you don't - Some are warmer, some cooler, and the more expensive ones usually don't seem to change the relative color intensities like many of the cheaper ones (which can make the whole picture seem quite artificial). I'm afraid it's pretty much trial and error trying to find something that you prefer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

You might check this forum out. It seems to answer some of the questions that were raised about the coating. (Something that I had not even thought about!). Thank you for asking it! http://forum.bulletproofexec.com/index.php?/topic/2171-how-much-serrapeptase-is-safe-to-take/

the .223 and the .40 cal both came with AG5 alkiline batteries, however I took others advice and purchased a ten pack for about 10.00 of the silver oxide 393's. on the ten pack it says 393, but in small writing the compatable batteries listed are SR48, SR754SW, and S754S, so.. you have choices. everyone is correct. the alkilines stink, but they last long enough to at least do your rifle once maybe twice, so for 10.00 i got the silver oxide batteries and stuck them in the neat little pouches that the lasers come in. there is room for two lasers and a pocket for a buch of batteries with each laser you buy. so i put both in one pouch and will save the nylon folding wallet for sonething else. hope this all helps. just note that you cant zero these like some that have an allen wrench. and if you read my feedback you'll see that these are not exact center. you rotate the laser in the chamber and it draws a circle on the wall at say 15 ft. oh well... ill just keep them they are 5mw so maybe they are good for something else .

Whoa, buying and having it shipped straight from Hong Kong? Did you ever do that in the states or only in the UK? BTW, thanks for the great posts Mark, they're turning out to be very very helpful. I am currently shopping around for a telephoto and have to make a decision soon about the aperture f/4 or f/2.8, the $$ i want to spend on it and whether I want IS or not. You may be able to help with the $$ on the Hong Kong issue. Thanks again! Nino

Vivitar states they are HIGH QUALITY SOLID OPTICAL MATERIALS. The CPL feels [weight] like glass. The other two are much lighter and not so cool to the touch. I think they are made from the solid optical material.I can't see any anomalies or aberrations in either the filters themselves nor, the images I've taken with them on my lenses.I put filters on my lens mainly to prevent scratches and damage to the glass lens and its coating. I'd much rather remove dirt, grit, and smudges from my filters than my lens. After that primary usage is accomplished, then, for the type filter: UV, CPL, or, Neutral Density.Hope this helps.

I also have a D60 and plan to use the Nikkor 10-24 in my underwater shooting - what do y'all think?The Tokina 10-17 is out because of no AF compatability with the D60. divergal

I went on the crimson trace web site and there was no laser guard listed for the pt 145 - in fact there was none listed even for the pt 145 mill pro. You might try other laser manufacturers, but because it's so old (nowadays even a 3 year old gun is obselete, what with all the new models coming out every tear) I think you're outta luck. Hang in there!!

Not sure if multicoated, Not like some cheaper with clouded optics, this is very clear optics. I spent 30 years on the ocean so I know what works. Zoom sometinez require new focus. I've had many touted the best that failed. I really like this one. It compares with many more expensive I've had. Stability of object is always a problem with this kind of optice. Suggest a good tripod. Or mini pod. I would recommend this to anyone. I know this compares with many high dollar optics. Good luck

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

Seems quite neutral to me. I haven't tried to blow it to over 100% and look for CA's or anything like that. You get so many filters to play with, in my view, more than you would ever use. I took them out a couple of times to try the colours on a sunset. OK, but not entirely to my taste. Too obviously manipulated. The NG's and the ND's are the useful ones for me. They are cheap enough, to me, to be worth the learning curve as to what I would want to spend my $$ if more use turns out I need better. So far, 3 art landscape shoots of 100 frames + each, not yet.

Michael this is great deal i recommend second set of dies either 9mm or 45acp and the digital scale not wrong with the scale that comes with kit 2.auto indexer again nothing wrong the kit. You made a excellent choice I'm about 1500 rounds in you don't save money you just shot more....tumbler kit with shells and polish and a plug in timer for cleaning brass i have to reload 4500 rounds to break even after that its .20 to .25 cents to reload .45acp about hope this help check your states shooting club website like mdshooters.com tons of information from people with tons of knowledge and know how

Sounds suspicious to me. Trijicon has nothing to do with C-More as far as I know. A real C-more will cost at least $250

It's a 4 plex reticle. No mil dot, no hash marks of any kinds. Looks like 4 arrows pointing towards dead center. The glass is flawless, the light absorption is awesome, the turrets are great. Being that Redfield was bought out by Leupold it is made by their standards but not with their price. The Objective Diameter is pretty big. I had to buy Ultra High rings to mount to my AR. I'm pretty pleased with the scope. I would like a mil dot reticle but for the price it's pretty solid. Anything else I can help you with?

Yes it is Multicoated. You will see on the ring that is says "Hoya HMC". The HMC is Hoya's designatin for "Hoya Multi Coated". This is a great filter and find myself using it more and more all the time for long exposure shots.

Hey kevin I got a question about a laser light combo from you. .I just tried the laser out in broad daylight. I can see my last pretty good at 50 yards on a part and tree. This is a very nice combo I recommend it very much good luck
