Description

Tiffen UV Protection filter 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. Using a Tiffen UV Protector on your Digital HD DSLR While the UV Protection filter served its purpose in the film era for many years it will still continue to be one of the most popular choices in accessories today. Digital cameras have blocks, auto correction and digital filters that combat the bluish color cast therefore making the UV Protection filter a simple protector for your lens to combat dirt, fingerprints & that fateful knock or drop.

  • Low Price for Peace of Mind
I do not use these for the UV filter but as a good quality, low cost lens protector. That said: My 1st Tiffen was a 55mm UV Protector I got for the kit lens that came with a Sony a7ii; an FE 28-70. I was so happy with the purchase that I have since purchased three additional Tiffen UV Protection Filters. One is on a Sony E 55-210 I bought used and one is on a Samyang 35mm I bought new. The one I am writing this review for I assume is still on the Sony FE 50mm I bought new but returned and forgot to remove the filter. The point? I treat my lenses, new or used, like I treat a cell phone. That being the phone stays in the box until I have a protective case for them and lenses stay in the box until I have a protective filter to pair them with. And the one I forgot to remove from the returned lens? That is how confident in the Tiffen filters I am. Once I put one on a lens, I never need to think about it again. I have used several brands in several sizes ranging from the cheaper Altura and Polaroid to the mid range Hoya and B & W. Where does Tiffen fit? Well they are no Hoya or B & W but I am no professional photographer. I am an amateur who mostly enjoys street photography when I travel and for my money Tiffen is the best. Yes, you can spend more and get better glass and if you really have reason to worry about ghosting you should look for a higher end lens. That isn't me saying ghosting has been a problem for me. I normally use a lens hood and I think that helps cut down on light reflection. I have noticed some minor issues with it on some shots I have taken in direct bright light conditions but not enough to justify the higher price. I do not stack filters as I haven't had a need to so I can not give an opinion on that topic. I would assume that the risk of ghosting would increase. The short version is this. The Tiffen UV Protection Filter is well made with good quality glass and a metal ring with threading I do not worry will cross thread or strip. They do what I need by protecting my lens. If I was buying a ND or polarizers I might buy a more costly brand but for everyday protection, Tiffen is all I need and the best for my money. Tiffen say it best in their own product description; A small price to pay to protect your investment. ... show more

Just what I needed. So far so good.

  • Cheap protection/insurance to that front lens.
The last one I had was broken when my son dropped the spotting scope(from the bench to the ground). I'm glad that the old filter was broken and not the front lens. I consider it as "cheap insurance".

No reason not to protect your lens. Just buy it.

  • Well Made Affordable UV Filter
Tiffen has been making lens filters forever, right here in the US. Like their competition, Tiffen has a whole range of filters from super expensive to super cheap. I buy a clear or UV filter for every lens I own to protect the front of the lens from damage and leave it on all the time. This is one of Tiffen's moderately priced filters, but far from their cheapest. Bottom line, with this filter on the lens, I see no difference in the image quality. From now on, when I need a filter, I will go with Tiffen instead of the very expensive German and Japanese filters ... show more

  • Good product
This lens look like a good well-made product. I bought two of these for two of my lenses. great product but I did not need them. I returned both of them at the same time. The bad thing is Amazon is charging me for one saying that I did not return it but they were both returned at the same time.

  • My wife and I use these in combination with lens hoods like we use screen protectors and cases for our phones
This is the first purchase you should make after purchasing a lens. My wife and I use these in combination with lens hoods like we use screen protectors and cases for our phones. I kid you not, the moment I put this filter and a lens cap on my wife's new camera lens to take some shots of our son, he launched her car keys right at the camera. This purchase immediately paid for itself, as it is a LOT cheaper to purchase a new lens filter than it is a new lens. Tiffen's prices are also the best bang for the buck. My personal recommendation is to not even use a brand new lens until you put a lens filter on it to make sure it is protected from the start. Cons: The only drawback to a lens filter is that they ten to produce lens flare in situations where light sources are visible in the shot, ESPECIALLY when those sources are not dead center in the frame. This can be a very cool effect if you decide to take advantage of it, but it can also be a hindrance, depending on what look you are going for. In those rare cases, you will want to remove the lens filter. Just be aware of wind and sand etc while your lens is unprotected, and you should be fine. ... show more

  • Protection meets quality!
Used on my 1976 COSINA CS3 camera, the filter sits perfect, protects the 28mm wide angle lens and improves the shot's quality. So far, a really good buy. The packaging of the filter is best possible quality too. Makes a good overall impression when you get the item! Thanks, P@.
