 I will not be buying anotherOct 17, 2004
By Glynn Clapsaddle
"glynn@thestreetlamp.com"
This happens to be the wallet that holds the most filters that I could find, 8. That in itself makes it valuable to me, as I have exactly eight filters. Of course, I will be adding more soon and will have to buy another wallet. One thing that I do like about this wallet is that when the bottom section is first folded up, there is a small magnet inside and it locks the bottom section closed. However, the negative side is that my 37mm filters sit too loosely in the pockets and sometimes when I open the wallet, if I'm not careful, my filters come flying out. Honestly, I do not know if this is poor design of the product or that it is just designed for larger filters, hence my rating of three stars. Tamrac has always made me very happy with their storage products, as my camera bag is from them as well. I would think that if one is using it for 55mm and larger filters, that it will hold them securely.

 I like itJul 19, 2011
By Kahana
This is the perfect filter holder for me. I have 4-67mm and 4-77mm filters. It holds them well and the slots are see-through so it's easy to find the one I want to use. My previous filter holder was all black so I couldn't see the filters.
This is made for large filters, not small ones. Someone complained that his small filters fall out. If you have small filters, get a small filter holder.
Someone complained that the filter holder is too large for the camera bag. It has a handle so you don't have to put it inside your bag. Fully loaded, mine is 9" wide x 4 1/4" high x 2" deep. I put mine where a laptop computer is supposed to go. I use a Tamrac Evolution 8 backpack.
Someone complained that there aren't enough compartments. Well, it comes with 8 like it says. If you have 9 filters, screw two filters together.
Someone wrote that the bottom compartments are magnetized. I didn't read anywhere that Tamrac had a magnetized holder. Mine is not magnetized.
Suggestion: Read all reviews before you buy.

 Filters fall out, inconvenient size.Aug 07, 2009
By Arjuna Ravikumar
I have no complaints about the quality of the pouch itself, and the filters seem reasonably safe inside of them.
However, every time I've taken it out, I've always sent a couple of filters flying when I open it. When you're in a hurry its difficult to remember which was the "right way" to open it.
I'm also not too happy with the size of the wallet as I have to force it into my camera bag and end up wasting some space in the process (I own a lowepro slingshot 200 AW). I've ended up leaving the filter wallet at home on most occasions and just packing my filters in bubble wrap or attaching them to lenses. Those with a differently shaped bag might prefer this wallet for its long but flat shape (of course the flatness goes away when you pack it with filters).
I just ordered the adorama "slinger" filter pouch from amazon and it seems much better. I haven't used it out in the field yet, but it fits 5 large filters comfortably. It fits snugly in my backpack, and I can also attach it to my belt when I'm shooting! I'll post a review for it once I use it a little more. oh yeah, it won't send your filters flying unless you open it upside down.

Tamrac Filter WalletSep 06, 2011
By tallman "Bob"
This filter wallet is excellent. It is well-constructed and looks like it will hold up well. With a mixture of eight 52mm and 58mm filters, it still folds nicely and fits in my camera bag.
I really like this filter holderJul 10, 2011
By Tried them all
I like this wallet, but, alas, like everything, it has its drawback (really just one for me): you have to carefully pack this case, otherwise it doesn't comfortably close - you get an unpleasant "bulge.". It concerns me when this happens, so I usually re-pack it, and then it's fine. I am probably a little easier to please than some, so if you know that you're a little bit "retentive," then go ahead and try it but be prepared to return it. For me, it packs my 8 filters of varying sizes (55mm - 72mm) just fine.
