5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised, May 30, 2009

By	ubat (Sao Paulo, Brazil) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Truth be told, I'd never heard of Zeikos until I stumbled onto this filter in Amazon. The company's website wasn't exactly helpful in providing useful information, but they do manufacture a broad range of photographic and electronics products and were present in PMA '09, the imaging industry's largest event.

Plus, I was having trouble finding a decent 67 mm UV filter in Amazon, where I was also buying my Olympus 50-200 mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD lens. AND the product page told me it was made in Japan and was multi-coated. Not as expensive as the B+Ws and other top-name brands and not as inexpensive as the usual Tiffens (with which I've had some negative experience), I decided to risk it.

It is a matter of personal preference to use protection filters or not, and I openly subscribe to the "pro filter" group for myriad reasons -- not least of which because it is easier to remove fingerprints and general gook from filters than it is from lenses.

The Zeikos 67 mm UV filter is being a good experience so far. It has been on the lens for almost two months and is behaving exactly as it should, protecting the lens surface and not affecting my photos. I've tested the lens with and without it and can see no difference in the results, which is good. The filter feels solid and well made.

Sometimes it's a good thing to take a risk!

5.0 out of 5 stars Good filter for a good price - but not truly multi-coated, June 30, 2009

By	e.t. (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I bought this filter to use mainly as a lens protector for my Tamron 17-55mm f/2.8 lens (Canon XTi). This is a great option if you're on a budget but don't want to sacrifice quality. The glass doesn't rattle around inside the frame like one of my Canon brand UV filters, and it screws onto the Tamron lens securely. The Tamron lens cap also fits perfectly with this filter (which is made in Japan). However, it is not truly multi-coated; I noticed some green "ghosts" in my photos while taking pictures of some fire dancers at a luau. I'd look for something else if you are going for a true multi-coated filter, but if you just want a cheap yet sturdy filter to use as protection, this one is worth considering.

4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Protector, October 5, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

Perfect for a lens protector. I don't notice a change in the coloring at all, but its a great protector for lenses. I have a Nikon D90 and it fits my lens perfectly. (I have a 18-105mm) Great price too.
