Description
Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.Haze 1 reduces excessive blue haze caused by UV light by absorbing 71% of UV. It's great for all-around UV control. This filter eliminates UV problems from most situations where increased haze tends to wash out color and image clarity.

Great product for the price

I bought this to protect my new lens for my Canon XSI. It works well and was a great price.
Unobtrusive but essential

I have always protected my lenses with a UV filter. I'm not sure that the filter actually does anything because of never shot without one, but I recommend spending a few dollars to protect an expensive investment. The Tiffen brand is always reliable.
good quality

This fits with my Carl Zeiss 25mm fix lens. I use this lens and new filter with Nikon D90. I would like to notice that Nikon DSLR work well with Carl Zeiss lens F mount
So-so

The only thing this filter is good for is protecting the lens from physical damage (dust, prints, scratches, water spots, etc.) Some say that cheap Tiffen filters degrade the quality of the images, but I haven't noticed any degradation. If you want a filter that will actually improve your images, do not get this filter, go with a circular polarizer or a neutral density filter instead. It's better to crack this filter than crack your lens.
Simple UV Protector

It's just a protection filter. It's does a good work by day though it can create weird flares by night if you are trying to picture below a bright light or if there's one pointing towards you.
It also has a weird glass finish in the edges that make it look cheap (even though it is)
