Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A wise initial investment for your camera, the Tiffen 49mm Haze-1 filter helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. While protecting the front element of the lens, this filter also reduces excessive blue, cuts through haze and can improve image clarity. It's especially helpful when photographing mountain and marine scenes, where increased haze threatens to make your photographs indistinct in color and clarity.

This filter also provides additional benefits of correction for ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. You can leave the filter on the lens at all times for protection and it comes with a 10-year warranty.



Product Description

A UV filter absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. It serves as a multi-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films. Most photographers place a UV filter on each lens because it also serves as a reliable, permanent, lens protector

5.0 out of 5 stars A Worthwhile Buy, August 6, 2007
I purchased a 55mm Tiffen Haze-1 plus UV (ultraviolet) filter for my film camera lens. A UV filter is a good thing to have, even for a digital camera, as it does not change the color of the light (color neutral) as it enters your camera through the lens, but, for film cameras, protects against the adverse effects of UV light. A UV and/or haze filter also protects the front element of the lens against scratches, dings and dust, which is advantageous for digital users even if they don't need the UV protection.

The particular filter I bought filters both UV light and haze. The reduction of haze is good for maintaining contrast in pictures, especially when shooting on a humid, hazy day, or high in the mountains. Note: haze filters do not eliminate all haze from your photos, but reduces the effect so that details are not quite as obscured by the haze in the atmosphere. UV light is more prevalent as you rise above sea level, so this sort of filter really helps cut the excessive blue cast of UV light and the haze you find in mountainous areas.

I had read elsewhere a review of UV filters, and this one was rated highest in that particular review. I am very pleased with it. Colors are still bright and strong, and I believe it does reduce haze to a significant degree. (If possible, I will upload an image taken with the filter in place on the lens, though it didn't occur to me to take one without the filter for comparison.)

Most UV filters in this price range do not block all UV light, which is fine if you are just buying the filter to protect the lens. There are expensive, "professional grade" filters that block more UV, down to a certain desireable wavelength (also available on Amazon, I believe). But good, cheaper UV filters like this one are sufficient for most photographers, and, supposedly, this one blocks more UV light than most. The primary goal for me was to protect the lens from scratches and dings, without changing the color or quality of the light entering the lens. The UV filtering is just an added benefit, and should contribute to good film exposure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A few comments, June 21, 2003
In reading up on the subject lately, I learned that both films and the CCD's in digital cameras can "see" UV or ultra-violet, which is just beyond the normal human visual range. (Interestingly, bees can see into the UV end of the spectrum, which enables them to see when the nectar is flowing in flowers by enabling them to see the nectar guides in the flowers).

Anyway, too much UV light can produce a bluish image, and can affect the saturation and tints of the other colors. UV and skylight filters are great for reducing haze, and for eliminating chromatic desaturation of colors (i.e., the bluish washing out effect that occurs with distance), and enhance sharpness as a result, too. These filters are designed to remove UV and can help to some extent with the bluish cast. UV filters are colorless and skylight filters are pinkish. Both will work well as far as removing excess UV light, but note that skylight filters produce slightly warmer photos because of their pinkish tint.

Haze filters work similar to UV filter. Because of light-scattering due to microscopic dust particles in the air, different wavelengths are scattered more or less than others and can cause reduced sharpness. Haze filters can help with this problem. According to the specs, the Tiffen Haze-1 blocks 71% of excess blue at 400 mm wavelength. The Tiffen Haze-2A provides greater UV correction and filters 100% at 400 mm wavelength.

Excessive bluish tint frequently occurs in outdoor photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky and near the water front. Unlike pink skylight filters, haze filters are yellowish--the opposite visual color complement to blue, which allows it to counteract a bluish effect.

I'd like to thank C-K's digital camera page at Michigan Technical University for much of this information.

I take my camera to the beach for photographs. The filter acts as a barrier against mist being blown around in the humid atmosphere. I don't worry about wiping this filter down nearly as much as I do the lens.
