It's good if you can using canon non-L series lens.
However, when I use it with my 16-35L and 100-400L, you can see the images are blurred.

I am a beginner to DSLR photography. I recently bought an expensive (for me) 18 - 200mm lens for my Nikon D40 and wanted to protect that purchase with a UV filter. I chose this one based on price. Unfortunately, this filter has led to distorted photos for me. It's OK outside in normal sunlight; however with pictures that I take inside (particularly when using the flash), areas such as people's hair get a weird looking sheen (for lack of a better word) to them. It also seems to cause a less than sharp focus. I finally took the filter off after a couple of serieses of disappointing photos, and now my pics look as sharp as ever again.

After reading a lot about using a filter or not I decided to purchase this filter to protect my Sigma 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 DC AF OS Zoom Lens for my Digital Rebel XTi. Lots of professionals might say you are screwing up your photo with a UV lens, but for an amateur like me I'd much rather protect my lens. Plus I haven't noticed a difference at all in my pictures. This filter has been on my lens since day one and I have no plans of taking it off anytime soon.
