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.

- Not that great?
I've been taking shots with this filter on since the day I got it two months ago. I'm not very impressed with it. It doesn't seem to filter out any UV, and can easily cause problems with light reflections (because it's another pane of glass against the lens).
If you need a UV filter, do yourself a favor and try the multicoated UV filter instead.
Rating: - good addition to a kit
Got this for my 50mm as protection.Its well constructed and no issues with image quality.I was a little concerned with the thickness, but no vignetting with my lens.Get one!!!
Rating: - Tiffen Filter
It's a cheap investment in helping protect my lens from fingerprints and dust. Because it is not coated its easier to clean and I won't worry about just wiping it with my shirt. The material used is fine but not well made compared to Hoya and B+W.The only drawback is I get ghosting when I shoot dim-indoor shots and if there's a light source. Beacuse or the price I highly recommend this product.
