Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. This filter can be kept on the camera at all times.

Product Description

Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good quality product, but not what I wanted., February 17, 2006
By D. Jansen (Illinois USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The product felt strong, solid, and well put together. The glass was clear with no visible tint or imperfections. Although this and another filter (same type different size) both arrived with smudges on the glass. The smudges were fairly easy to wipe off, but I suspect the items are either not cleaned before packaging, or I received someone's returned item. However, I had to return this item since they DON'T contain any anti-glare/reflective coating on them. When shooting towards a light source (light bulb, tv, sun, etc) a green reflection of the light source would appear on the recorded image. The green reflected image was caused by a reflection bouncing off of my lens's green tinted anti-glare coating which was bounced right back into the camera by this filter. If your lens isn't coated in an anti-glare coating the result will be even worse.
Instead I picked up Quantaray filters from a local Wolf Camera that were coated with the anti-glare. They only cost a little more, and the green reflection is now gone. Make sure you look for a filter with the anti-glare

2.0 out of 5 stars cheap filter, August 12, 2007
By J. Simonis (defiance ohio) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
People are getting reflection with this filter because it is not multi coated. Coating kills reflection and keeps colors correct,a non coated filter on a multi coated lens is the worst thing you can do to a fine lens. Spend a little more to get a good one. Look for the term MULTI COATED !

3.0 out of 5 stars Far from perfect, December 5, 2005
By Jesse Baynard (Tampa, FL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this filter for my Canon 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens. The price was right, and I thought it would be a good way to protect the lens, which this probably does well. And while I am shooting under normal lighting conditions (flash or natural) the filter stays out of the way, but as soon as the lights go down this filter will ruin more photos than I can bear, due to an abundance reflective artifacts. If you take a photo of Christmas lights for example you will see the lights again in a faint green glow on the opposite side of the photo... VERY ANNOYING.
