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.

Decent filter, mine had a flaw in it though.

You get what you pay for.... if you want quality you may want to consider paying a bit more.

Tiffen has long been a name known for quality filters. Of the lower-priced filters, they are probably the best.
MUST HAVE for Photographers!

Tiffen filters are truely quality. Use a filter of lesser quality and compare it to any Tiffen filter. Do this and THEN you will understand.
The sets with case are a great way to cover the basics in your lens protection and create new ideas for the creative type!
Tiffen filters are a MUST HAVE!
Poor Quality
[ Posted: 2008-10-09 ]
This filter arrived with the glass lens loose and unstable in the mount. Poor quality control in manufacture, this was not a shipping defect. Had to be returned.
Big deal on quality brand filter
[ Posted: 2008-09-21 ]
I purchased this filter not only as the "protector" to my lens but for its quality and photographics characteristics. I could not believe the low price, shipping included deal that I got.
