Bought this filter in combination with a deal here at Amazon. I chose not to buy the cheapest UV filter for protection, but I chose this somewhat more expensive filter. Shouldn't have done that either. After putting it on my great little 50mm 1.8d lens it had some serious ghosting, even at the smallest amount of light from reflections or even bright objects other than the sun. When I removed it the image was perfect again. I do not recommend this filter. Buy the Nikon 52mm NC filters. Much better!!

Ordered this Tiffin filter as part of the purchase of a Nikon 55-200mm f4 VR lens for my daughter. There was a discount $10.on any Tiffen filter when ordered w/this particular lens. I did not choose the Amazon suggested lens filter which cost around $ 9.99 or free as part of the promo. I generally do not buy the cheapest filter. I ordered this particular filter that this review is about instead which cost double. There was no mention of being multicoated or even a coated filter- but as even Nikon does not always state their filters are coated,(they all are generally multi-coated) I assumed that a Tiffen 52mm which is a small filter for $20.00 was at least coated. We always keep at least a clear or UV filter on all our lenses for protecting front glass and to prevent ghosting & reflective artifacts in photos & routinely expect & use only coated or multicoated filters as such. This filter is not either. It is clear as the name suggests, but has already on occasion introduced artifacts that require workarounds which in my opinion is unacceptable even for a $20.00 filter. But I guess you get what you pay for with some things.

You can tell if a filter is coated or multicoated by holding it pointed at a bright area or light and look in reflection of lens- if pinkish its coated if greenish- multicoated.

I would think that all filters would be coated this day & age unless of course for whatever reason, you would want an uncoated filter. That's my opinion. Any company selling an uncoated/coated filter should disclose that in their description of the filter spec's. I believe that is an important detail regarding a filter that most people would want to know about. I did research at different places trying to see if this particular filter was coated. Could not find out. As it is one of my rules (that I broke this time) is don't assume anything. I would not have purchased this filter.

I will not be purchasing any more Tiffen filters again unless they clearly disclose this one way or the other. I typically buy Sigma & Quantaray's Professional line- they all disclose their specs clearly & occasionally Nikon filters, which are excellent- though usually you may have to do a little digging but you will find out the specs.

This protective filter fit perfectly on my 70-200mm/f2.8 Nikkor lense. Very well build and sturty, it was highly recommended for keeping my $2,000 lens clean and scratch free.
