Review 1 of 3

Price Paid:  $35.00 from Adorama Camera

Summary:

Heliopan filters are top quality and not top price. I mostly have used the #25 red for Kodak HIE infrared film and results were fantastic. You notice the quality when you feel them, the brass ring and Zeis glas have a certain weight to them that cheapo filters don't. Also, why pay several hundred dollars on a lens and put a cheap piece of glass or resin in front of it? Counterproductive, I say.

Strengths:

Solid construction, great glass, protective case.

Weaknesses:

Suseptible to the law of gravity Not marketed well in the USA

Similar Products Used:

Hoya, Tiffen

Customer Service:

None needed
