Review: Excellent - in all sizes - Japan Optics or/and Schott - (Text translated from my German version from desertcart Germany) I am an long standing HOYA-/B&W/Nikon-Filter user and fan. Never even thought of using anything else than these established brands. Only the fact that a load of filters I needed were not in stock brought around the situation for me, having to ‘’look around’’. Then, stumbling over this idea of ‘’buy filters- PLANT TREES’’- I had a good look at these GOBE-Filters – main thought in my head at the time was ‘’ well, if it’s rubbish I can always send them back’’…. I ordered UV/C-POL and Flex-ND filters for various lenses – both from desertcart Germany and desertcart UK. Wanted to experiment. They were delivered fast and perfectly packaged. Looking at the Invoice I do have to say: wow – loads of money saved compared to what I am used to when I buy my Hoyas etc. – loads of brownie points with my wife this time round! Packaging is perfect, strong plastic filter box packed in an brown recycled cardboard cover. Inside of filter box is foam, very dense and holding the filter in place very firmly. I recommend that HOYA and the other ‘’big ones’’ have a very long look at this – and learn – since most of their filters are at times loose inside the filter box and can move around. There will be people criticising the rather obvious fact, that the plastic filter box can be a bit fiddly to open – I myself say: my filters are very safe, no filters falling out of badly closing containers and floating around my bag. These filter boxes are also extremely dust-proof. Highlight: every filter comes with an optical cloth – Hoya, Hoya Professional, B&W, Nikon and the others – hardly ever - at least not with mine. The filters have a vry slim build, but are I their mechanical make-up very accurate, surprisingly sturdy and fit into all threads of all my lenses ( metal and plastic threads ) without any hiccup. Glas rests neatly in the ring, no wobbling or clattering. The quality of the Glass seems fine and even the C-Pol’s do what they are designed to do. Although the filters have a very slim build, they do actually give an impression of reinforcing the (dodgy?) plastic threads of some lenses quite considerably. Fit is snug and perfect ( not always the case with all my various filters on modern lenses with plastic threads). The very flat/slim build of these filters can be a plus We made a few technical comparisons with my Hoya’s, B&W’s etc. The Filter ring’s are thicker and heavier, which does not have to be good or bad. The optical comparison right up to print size of 50x70cm does not reveal any noticeable variations even if I try hard to find a fly in the ointment. I can not confirm any quality issues in comparison ti the known brands – even though this was expected and even ‘’hoped for ‘’ since we all are so loyal to our brands and hate to stray…. The usual thinking pattern of ‘’if it is cheap or reasonable it has to be is of inferior quality’ ’has – in this case – just gone out of the window and we really have to rethink that ‘’baloney’’ – myself first ,since I am right up there with ‘’them’’ thinking that way. Super! Up to here everything seems just perfect. I have no idea how GOBE do this, but to deliver such a quality and perfect packaging fur such ‘’small money’’ and then on top of that plant a load of trees in Madagaskar – I pull my hat in respect– this is the moment me old grumbling Brand-Nutter has to shut it and get on with it! I have now checked through the sizes from 77 down to 52mmand can not find any issues for daily use. I have been reading about grey and colour variations – I can not confirm any of this with even a single one of my 15 Filters I now own – absolutely nothing – even if I try hard ( which I tend to do). There seem to be issues with the C-POL filters not delivering – I honestly believe that these complaints are User based mistakes which can happen easily, since working with C-Pol’s is not always as straight forward as one would wish. Working C-Pol’s can be a challenge at the best of times, all down to situation and lenses used. Looking at the ‘’value for money’’ aspect of these GOBE filters they clearly outrun all the others – top position. When I look at the sums of money I have spent on all the big brands ( of which I really cannot see visibly quality differences to GOBE) I get a serious ‘’twinge’’ in my stomach and my circulation has a quick ‘’hiccup’’ …. I am not ‘’green’’ – by no means. But this concept, the idea of planting trees all over the place has touched me somewhat. Makes perfect sense, cannot be wrong and gives me a positive feeling – perhaps even soothes the ‘’whinges of my bad conscience’’ somewhere in the background – a little…. It seems that a colleague within our PR – League has had a brilliant idea and has set it up just right. Well done, a very complete and round package. Summing things up: no minus points, all just right ‘’up there’’, absolutely NO REASON TO NOT PROFIT OF THIS PRODUCT – I recommend GOBE fully. But, should you still have this little voice in your head ‘’cheap, unknown brand, grumble, is this really good stuff, mumble’’ then get the SCHOTT Versions of the GOBE filters. We now are talking different league – Schott can easily be compared with Swarovski, Zeiss and Leitz – I know Schott from medical devices and astronomical use. In direct comparison to Schott the Hoya’s, B&W’s and even the Nikon’s could be in trouble – not much, but just that little bit! And even then the GOBE filter are a bargain! I have learnt a lot and am very happy with my GOBE’s Recommended, get’ em, plant trees.......
Review: High quality and good price - I am a keen photographer and collect classic cameras and lenses. I have probably bought a dozen filters from this brand in the last two years. I have found them to be optically excellent, well made and they come in many sizes. They also come with a lens cloth and well engineered metal storage 'box'.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ My New Go To Filters
*by T***A on 3 November 2018*

I was looking around for a new filter for my new 80D and after spending a chunk of money on the camera I was looking for a bit of a bargain. Anyway, while looking around for my usual Hoya filter, I saw this and thought, hmmmmm. After a bit of research, I decided to take a gamble. The filter arrived next day and I was mightily impressed with the packaging and the smart metal tin it came in, I could tell that whoever made it, took pride in their products. It was well protected and even came with a cleaning cloth unlike the cheap nasty packaging that Hoya provide. The filter itself feels solid, yet light and has that Japanese quality about it. I'm yet to take any photos, but I have a birthday to shoot in a few days and I'll maybe take some fireworks shots tomorrow, but I'm confident it'll perform well.
