Thank goodness

 

Thank goodness I had this on my lens! My camera was in its bag, this filter and a lens cap were on my lens, my camera bag fell from the height of a regular Dining room chair onto a hardwood floor and my $1000+ lens was protected because I had this...

Consumer review by:

good enough

 

I use filters to protect the lens between shooting. This does it s job. I don't know about the optics, cause I remove it during shooting.

Consumer review by:

these fit my new Nikon D5100 kit lenses perfectly-

 

we got a new DSLR and I knew I immediately needed to get uv filters to protect the lenses that came with it. These fit perfectly and were very reasonably priced and with Amazon prime's 2-day shipping...they were here almost immediately!

happy with the Tiffen filter

 

For years Tiffen has made a good, well priced product. I immediately put in on the lens and shot a job with it. The packaging was good and the product was as I expected.

Consumer review by:

Works!

 

Not much to say about this except it works and that's all that matters. It protects my lens and is also has UV protection. What more could I ask for for such a good price?

Worth Every Penny

 

My wife dropped our Nikon slr in its carrying case, which offered some protection, on a concrete floor and shattered this protective lens, but the protective lens saved the Tamron 18-200 lens that was on the camera. The Tamron is still going strong,...

Consumer review by:

Good.

 

Good option to protect your lens from dirt, salt spray and accidents. Despite creating some points of light caused by reflection, I recommend.

Consumer review by:

essential

 

A necessary essential for all lenses you purchase, this one works just as well as to be expected to protect my lense from dirt and sratches

Consumer review by:

Great!

 

This is a great product. I bought it to protect my Nikon 18-200mm lens, and it hasn't failed me. I can't tell of any issues unless shooting at an extreme angle with the sun. Even then, I kind of like the effect! The filter appears to be extremely high...

Consumer review by:

cheapo filter

 

This tiffen UV filter is one of the worst made ones on the market. The glass is not set inside the plastic frame because it spins when you clean it which leaves glass dust on the top of your lens. Don't buy this filter as you will need to spend more...

Product Specifications

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.SKY 1-A is a popular general use protection filter. It absorbs significant amount of UV light and is slightly warm-tinted for better colors. It is useful when shooting outdoors in shade and on overcast days.
