Product Description

UV filters are considered a standard accessory for every SLR lens, including the lens that may have been included with your camera. The size is designed to fit the threads in front of your lens. It protects the actual lens from dust, fingerprints, and other small substances that can harm image results. The filter is also easier to keep clean. That's why it should always remain on your camera. The filter has threads to accept any other effect filters you may wish to add.

A must have for everyone!
My dad introduced me to the UV filters. Its not really so much the UV filter but the fact these things save lenses from breaking!! I came close to breaking a lens before but thankfully I had a UV filter on my lens. Not to mention they help protect from dirt and other things of that sort.

Get a UV filter for your lens!

Not even close...
I bought one and am very disappointed with it. My older filter on a film camera gave a very nice dark blue sky on almost every single shot I took. This filter does not give the same quality, nor the dark sky effect I hoped for on my EOS 30D DSLR. Extremely disappointed.

Very poor quality, do not buy this (see below)
I purchased this filter from Amazon based on positive reviews I read here. The filter is very poorly made, I am shocked that so many rated this highly. Normally the reviews on Amazon are accurate indicators of quality. The glass in this filter is not fixed, in fact it doesn't fit properly. The glass moves back and forth in the casing,it is as though the filter housing was made for a much thicker piece of glass. As others have written it was also very dirty as though it had been handled. I'm guessing somebody else was unhappy and returned it.

I have experience with Hoya filters and have always been pleased with their build quality. I have returned the Tiffen filter as of today and ordered the Hoya. I find the filters great for both the protection they provide and function they serve.
