Product Description

These filters are used by many photographers to protect the front element of their lens from abrasions, dust, and moisture. They also have a very subtle warming effect, which can be useful to counter the "cool" colors you sometimes get in bright sun or in shade.

2.0 out of 5 stars Steer Clear of the Canon Brand Filters - No Coatings!, January 15, 2010

Chances are 99% that you have a decent lens with lots of anti-reflective coatings on it (even if you don't know it). All of the good quality filters also have these coatings. I was shocked to find that the Canon brand filters do not have any coatings. I was using this with my EF-S 17-85mm IS, and was getting reflections (green or hazy brown spots), vignetting, and also a noticeable reduction in light transmission and sharpness. Do a test - take 2 identical pictures with and without the filter - you'll see it. Spend the little extra cash on a better filter (e.g., Hoya, Tiffen).

3.0 out of 5 stars Wrong recommendation, not multi-coated, March 18, 2007

During my purchase of a nice lens and hood, Amazon recommended this filter to go along with the set. I only assumed that the 67mm filter would fit the lens, but unfortunately it didn't. I also learned that the Canon brand of UV filter apparently aren't multi-coated (like the lenses are). I contacted the seller to get the right size and they presented the return process to me that sounded like a big headache and would cost me return postage. Oh well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good value, works as expected, September 30, 2010

I use this 67mm Canon lens filter with my 100mm Macro F/2.8 IS L lens. This macro lens has a deep lens hood, which in and of itself blocks most unwanted light, so the need for a multi-coated filter wasn't great as it is for some of my other lenses.

The filter is available at a great price, and it works as expected. Fits just fine and protects the lens.

Would buy it again.
