Comment: Panasonic HDC-TM700K Hi-Def Camcorder with Pro Control System & 32GB Flash (Black)
The Zeikos ZE-FK43 43 mm Filter Kit is not working with HDC-TM700K Camcorder because it has a 46 mm lense and I didn't see the diference when I ordered the filters.

Summary: Good product - questionable returns
Comment: I ordered the 43mm Zeikos filter kit from PlusDigUSA. The ordering process was easy and I received my shipment ahead of time. After getting the product, I realized that I ordered the wrong size. I emailed the company and asked how to return for a replacement. They were quick to respond and the next day, I shipped the product back. That's when the problem started. I emailed them on June 4th, June 16th, June 22nd and June 23rd trying to find out if they had shipped my replacement or any sort of status update. I finally recieved an email on them on the 23rd when I said that if they did not reply, that they would refund my purchase and I would give them negative feedback since I needed the replacement for an upcoming trip. The next day I got a response saying that my replacement was going to be shipped the next day. Today is July 1 and I got the package in the mail... just in the knick of time. Product good, seller OK if you don't need anything after the sale.

Summary: ZEIKOS 43MM 3 Filter Kit fits HV30
Comment: I have to confirm what the Jan. 2010 poster said. These are the cleanest filters I too have ever bought. The company Zeikos I believe is in Japan but the filters are the expected Made in China product as even the largest name brands are now days. I went with these because Multi-Coated is critical in any filter and even more so for the HD cameras that show so much detail including glass imperfections, refractions, distortions, glare and such. If you spend $500-$1000 for a camera don't settle for anything short of Multi-Coated on your filters. The polarizer filter is the typical "rotating ring" style. If you use a wide angle lens hood/shade on your camcorder you won't be able to use that attached to the polarizer because as you rotate the ring to optimize the reduction of glare you change the position of the hood/shade where it may show in the scene. No big deal as you only use the Polarizer in limited circumstances and normally leave the UV filter on all the time. The stackable feature allowing you to leave the UV on all the time and add the polarizer or fluorescent filter when needed is a plus as well as for attaching my lens hood. Today's cameras have exceptional White Balance control and software built in for compensating for any kind of lighting sources, e.g. incandescent, fluorescent, daylight, mercury vapor, etc. so you may not need the FLD filter. But at the price this combo goes for its really a bargain not to be passed up. There are other MC filters that are higher quality than these, thus the 4 Stars, but for the money, I'm happy with the product.

Summary: Nice Inexpensive Set of Clean Filters
Comment: This is a good, inexpensive set of filters which will make you feel good about protecting your expensive camera lens.
I purchased the set for my Canon HV20 video camera, and the filters fit perfectly. The filters come from the manufacturer very clean, and in a somewhat hard case that is convenient for carrying in a camera bag. I was surprised to see that the filters didn't even have a spec of dust on them, having been individually sealed in cellophane. They were much cleaner than some Tiffen filters I purchased a couple weeks ago for a different camera.
I'm now in the market for a lens cap. I never felt I needed to use one before because of the built-in lens cover on the camera, but now the filter in use is exposed all the time, so I need a cap to protect the filter (I really should have thought of that before). If you buy this filter kit, you might as well buy a cap while you're at it, unless you already have one.
