Product Description

Product Description

Absorbs ultra violet and blue rays without affecting exposure. The Digital UV filter also acts to protect the lens and minimizes flare and ghost reflections to optimize the performance of your lenses for digital imaging. The very thin frames of these filtes allow pictures to be taken with most normal range wide-angle lens without vignetting.

What Make this Filter special for Digital?
Special Coatings - This filter has a newlly developed ultra-low reflection coating for digital camera to minimize flare and ghost reflections.

Black-ink Outer Rim Processing - The outer edges of the optical filter glass are blacked with ink to minimize inner reflection.

Special frame - All surfaces of these filters have a satin-like smooth surface to minimize extra reflection.

4.0 out of 5 stars decent, low profile UV filter, March 24, 2007

By	Kristoffor Benson "kb" (Prince George, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This filter works well, and it's a nice, low profile, reducing vignetting in wider angle shots.

The only criticism I have is that there is a green "ghosting" of any hotspots -- like birthday candles in a dark room will have green ghosts to one side of them.

I do notice this somewhat with my B+W and Tiffen UV filters, so I don't think it's specific to this one... but it would be nice if it wasn't there at all ever. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Pro Digital UV Filter = Low Glare, December 8, 2008

By	Nicholas Chill "Nick Chill" (San Diego, CA) - See all my reviews

UV FILTER:
The UV Filter prevents haze and reduces bluish tint in photographs by reducing stray UV rays entering the lens. It also has the added benefit of protecting the lens and glass from scratches and accidental damage.

There have been stories of photographers dropping their lens and the filter acts as a sort of impact absorber, shattering but leaving the lens unharmed. I would much prefer replacing the inexpensive filter, rather than a lens.

I've experienced much lower glare and reflections using the Quantaray Pro Digital UV Filter, than other less expensive filters. It also appears extremely well built, low-profile and no internal glare from the edges of the filter glass. I would recommend this filter for it's quality, performance and price.

Enjoy!
