Is this filter multicoated for anti reflection?

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."

UV filter coating imbues a slight color tinge, and reduces the amount of light. Clear is actually preferable. UV filtering is unnecessary with modern lenses.

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.

As trivial as it may seem, don't skimp on a filter. You have a nice camera, so get a MULTI-COATED filter from someone like B&W, Heliopan, or Hoya. The multi-coatings reduce flare and reflections, just like your multi-coated Nikon lens -- again, don't skimp, it'll truly reduce the quality of your photo's especially in sunlight. The size of the filter should be imprinted on the lens, and yes, it's 67mm. A good filter is somewhere in the $50 neighborhood.

The listing for polarizing filters is for one filter. The photograph is designed to show the transmitted light passing through the filters being turned 'on' or 'off'.

I don't want the UV filter for protection; I want it for haze reduction on panoramas.

Many people use a UV filter to protect the lens, but on DPReview, it appears that the filter does little to protect the lens. So, two things: a.) Buy a lens hood; according to the anecdotes of many users on DP Review, it protects far better than a filter, and adds contrast to the image. b.) I would still buy a UV or clear filter to keep grit and dust off of the lens--who wants to disturb the multi-coatings on the lens? And the filter will provide some protection. Digital cameras do not need the UV portion of the filter. I use the BW filters, because they don't attract much dust and are easier to clean. Again, filters at least keep grit from getting on the lens (and therefore, you won't scratch a lens trying to get the grit off).

yes, but. You need to have the clear filter in place. The polarized filter I have won't stay on without the clear filter first.

Sorry, I don't have the Kaesemann Circular Polarizer with Multi-Resistant Coating. Just the B=W 77 UV filter.

No its just one filter and i recommend that you buy a spare or a scratch lubricant along with it because its very easy for the filter to get scratched and by time it should be replaced, do note that this filter should only be used under 10 meters since above this depth the colors will tend to go reddish

Polarizing filter is blocking reflected light, so it lets you to see into water like there is no surface, you can see through windows without reflection of glass, by blocking reflection from pollution in air it makes sky nicely blue.UV filter is a joke, it is blocking UV light, but lenses usually block UV too, but it is neutral filter and is widely used as a protection filter to prevent scratches on optics. Pink filter is used under artificial light to make the picture more natural, but you can do the same by white balance setting, but for film camera it is a good piece.

I don't believe the polarizing filter will take care of UV filtering. The place I got the Tiffen polarizing filter bundled the two filters together so you get both.

Yes, it has more than one coat for better light transmission. MC standards for multi-coated

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

No, also the kit did not hold up very well. the UV filter that I like to leave on all the time. cracked in less then two months of use.

Yes. I have been able to stack all the filters all at once and use it to get very close to my subject. But at that range, the shadow of the camera obscures the subject. In addition tothat, chromatic abberation (purple fringing) gets worse as more close up filters are added. the +10 alone exhibits a lot of purple fringing. I hope this helps.

One frame with a white filter (translucent fabric for diffusing bright glaring light). There are two different covers with a total of four surfaces for reflecting/blocking light: white, black(absorbing obviously), silvered fabric and gold fabric. To me, the white filter and the white reflector are the most useful and the item is worth getting just for these. Haven't found the silver useful yet, but I haven't had it that long either. Gold(ish) coloration can be added in post processing in software. Hope this helps.
