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.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.
Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. These filters can be kept on the camera at all times.

Great filter for Lumix DMC FZ-28 at a low cost
[ Posted: 2009-01-01 ]
This is a very fine lens filter, though not coated, for protecting your camera lens and for cutting UV haze. This 46mm (thread size) filter is well-made, well-packaged, and at a great price. Despite one reviewer's report that it didn't fit the Lumix FMC FZ-28, it actually does fit and fits perfectly well. It is perfect for the FZ-28 as it goes on the lens itself and not on the shell that goes around the lens. This leaves all the functions of the camera intact. One should always equip a good camera with a filter so that there is practically no chance of scratching the orginal lens. This one does it and at a very good price.
flawless unit, exactly as described

My filter arrived promptly and it was in perfect condition. It installed with no problem and I could not observe any adverse effect on image quality.
Exactly what it says it is.

For the price, you can't beat this filter. It is good quality and fits perfectly on the camera I bought it for. I wanted to get one to protect my lens and help with "blueing' on photos. It has worked out great. Don't expect professional quality however for the price.

The product was as described. Did have trouble getting it, apparently the first one got lost in the Christmas mail. Vendor did send a replacement but it took too long for my need. Still provided good customer service.

Cheap and appears to have no noticeable effect on my pictures. I wanted some protection for this non-removable lens. I realize that such use of filters has both supporters and detractors.
