Love them. They make using my CPL and other filters easy and fast.
I think they're great also, I use them on all my filters and lens.
I use them for CPL, GND and ND filters. Makes it really easy to switch filters in and out.
I also use them on a rubber lens hood when I'm shooting through glass (e.g. museums).
I've been using them for over a year now and like them very much. They make it very easy to mount or remove my polarizer, ND filters, or Cokin filter holder quickly. They can add to vignetting on wider lenses but are no more of a problem than using filters without them. They are exceptionally useful if you do very long daytime exposures where you are using 10+ stops of ND filter, as you can compose and focus, then quickly add on the Xume equipped filter.
Great! There's no reason not have a clear protector on each lens. If I think a shot is important enough, I just pull the filter off. It's also good for a CPL - no time wasted. If you use one large filter and step-up adapters, you can save on getting a filter for each lens size.

Here we go again. I'm learning about things that I never knew existed that I think I can't live without.

Maybe the starter kit will increase my life expectancy. :lol:

Thanks. I wouldn't have thought to check B&H.

They are my primary vendor. I always go to them first. Never any problems.

YAY, I get to live longer. I just got my starter kit in the mail.
Jerry, do you buy lens adapters for the front of your filters in order to use the Xume lens caps, without removing the filters? I need to make a list for my next order. :shock:
