I always carry a protective UV filter on my lense and a couple weeks ago it finally paid off. One wrong move and the filter was hit and cracked but the lense is fine. So it does happen!

About the filter. Basically the filters are not the same and they should match the lense you use. Mine is Nikon 18-200mm and I can't see any noticeable difference with and without the filter, so I think it's a reasonable choice for that particular lense.

Use this filter to always protect your Nikon 18-200 ED IF VR DX Lens. I always keep an UV filter attached to my lens to protect, protect and protect... You can easily replace the UV filter - you can't easily repair your lens which is more costly. Choose the "Digital" rated filters as they are manufactured to work best with your digital equipment. Hoya is one of those trusted brands.

It works well with my Nikon lens. The threads on the filter don't bind, and the Nikon lens cap and hood go on and off easily and fit securely with the filter in place.

I originally purchased the comparable Tiffen filter but I was constantly having issue's with glare. After reading reviews on the Tiffen I realized I made a mistake when reading in depth. I found some great resources who put several filters to the test. For the Money, the Hoya was by far the best. I have used it for about 8000 shots with my Rebel T2i on a Tamron 18-270 3.5-6.3 and haven't had any issue's what-so-ever. It simply works and havent had any issue's with glare yet!

The Hoya DMC Pro1 Digital UV filter is a top quality multi-coated filter that matches the quality of the lens that I use it for. Well made mechanically and optically, it goes onto the lens's filter thread smoothly and has flawless optical performance. I have used and worked with optics for over three decades and want to highly recommend this filter for anyone who uses a high quality lens for a digital SLR. It provides both optical and mechanical protection - it is better to clean (or, worst case, replace) a $50 filter than a $1,000 lens!!! I've been using Hoya filters forever, and this one is the best I ever bought.

A very good filter from Hoya to protect your lens. However, I do not see the difference between the digital version than the super coated. anyway, Highly recommended.

Nothing much to add - I bought this as protection for my Nikon 10-200mm VR lens. I haven't seen any of the problems mentioned in other reviews; I just cleaned off a small finger smudge and it came up streak-free. No edge flaws either. Looking at Hoya's website, the 'digital' designation seems to mean multicoating + the use of several careful construction techniques. Whatever, it all adds up to a filter which does its job, which is to protect and add nothing to the image I'm trying to capture.

I used this as the permanent protective filter for my Canon EF-S 15-85 lens.
Works really great - I simply can't tell the difference with/without the filter on (which is a good thing for a protector).
Minimal reflection (you cannot really see much reflected light off the filter, really with your own naked eyes), slim design.

And it actually protected my lens from a serious damage when I fell on an icy staircase.
The filter actually broke, but it protected my lens. That's why I bought a second one.

I bought this for my Sigma 17-70 lens. It works well. Now i don't have to put on lens cap every time I finish taking one photo.

Mounted this filter on a Canon 28-135 IS lens. Noticed a difference in the pictures - they are clearer. Previous UV filter mounted was a Canon $10 or so. Bought another one of these for a Tamron 70-200 lens. This is an expensive filter but you can see the difference in the pictures.
