Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ Vivitar Essential 55MM Lens & Filter Accessory Kit for Nikon AF-P DX 18-55mm and Select Sony Lenses - Bundle with Wide Angle & Telephoto Lenses, Filters Kit & Macro Set, Lens Hood, Cap by Carlos Burrows

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Low price - Poor functionality

Package arrived early with no problems. Externally, the packaging was in good condition, but upon opening it I found that the boxes of filters and lenses were worn and battered. Although I bought this product new, the lens and filter packaging looked like they had already been opened. Bags for carrying filters and lenses were of good quality. The supplied tulip hood is unusable. This can be seen very clearly when my 55mm lens is zoomed out leaving a sharp black outline in the photos. I had the same problem with a wide angle lens that also left a black ring around photos when zoomed out. To remove this black ring, I have to zoom in on the lens, rendering the wide-angle lens almost completely unusable. With the wide-angle lens, there was a lot of blur around the edges of the photo and a circle of distortion in the center of the photo. Very dissatisfied with it. NOT GOOD The CPL filter made no noticeable difference in photos without removing reflections from glass or water, which just made it a useless accessory. The same applies to the UV filter. The macro lenses, cloth and lens cap are the only functional parts of the "ADVANCED" lens set, which is otherwise redundant.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Will write later
