Tiffen 67UVP Slim 67mm UV Protection Filter for Camera Lens, Clear Optical Glass, Impact Resistant Made in USA

This filter comes at a fair price and is an essential item for photographers who travel. UV filters don't affect your photos, but protect your expensive lenses and camera sensors from damage when shooting outdoors. It's much easier to replace an $8 filter than a $300 lens.This filter works with the lens cap that came with the lens, but double check the diameter of your lens, as one size does not fit all. I already have a bunch of filters, but my newest lens requires a slightly smaller filter, which is why I purchased this item.

Tiffen is a great company and this is a great UV lens protector. Great price and great quality lens

I have bought a few of the Tiffen filters now over the years to protect my lenses from getting scratched, and they have been great. I don't even put lens caps on now because I lose them and they get in the way, so these are essential to protect the lens. They fit perfectly and stay put. I have had this one for over a decade and it is in perfect condition - no scratches or damage at all. If you want to keep your glass in good condition, I highly recommend investing in some lens filters.

I use UV filters on all my lenses for a couple of reasons first is that they help remove haze and improve image quality in outdoor photos. The second and maybe a more important reason is that they provide added protection to the lens from scratches. I've used Tiffen filters for years, they are a quality product and a good value.

You spent a lot of money for your SLR or digital SLR camera, and then you plunked down another large chunk of cash for a quality lens. Do you really want to blow another heavy chunk of change for a basic, thread on UV filter? Well, I would normally advise that you don't skimp on quality when it comes to filters. After all, would you pay a premium price for a high performance automobile, only to fill it with watered down fuel? I should nope not! So is it such a bright idea to buy such a low cost UV filter for your high-end SLR lens? Well, maybe it is if you are considering the Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter.This filter does NOT offer the highest level of UV filtration, but it is rather sufficient for most conditions, and the build quality and materials used in this filter are very good. For most digital SLR users, a UV filter is a must have for protecting your lens optics, and it helps to clear up the hazy and washed out look in many of your outdoor photos. This filter has proven to clean up many of my digital photographs, and I have found almost no internal reflection artifacts. Notice I said ALMOST no internal reflection. I leave my UV filters on all of my lenses almost all of the time, and this filter has produced some minor reflection when shooting indoor photos with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide angle lens. This seems to only happen when shooting in dim lighting conditions, and when aiming the lens in the direction of a strong light source, such as a table lamp. Since my Canon EOS 40D has a "Live View" feature that lets me see what the picture is going to look like (displayed on the 3" LCD), I can see the reflection artifacts before I shoot the picture, and therefore have found ways to reframe my shots to avoid the reflections. However, I recommend that you simply remove the UV filter when shooting in these conditions.As I said before, I typically do not recommend buying low cost filters for your high quality lenses, but I prefer to invest my money on creative filters and not pour too much into a filter that is primarily used to simply protect the front of the lens. Many manufacturers, including Tiffen, offer higher quality UV/Haze filters for SLR lenses, and you may wish to spend the extra money if you are looking for deeper UV removal from your pictures. However, if you are looking for great lens protection and a decent level of UV filtration for a modest investment, you honestly can't go wrong with this filter. Just remember to remove the filter, or frame your shots carefully when shooting in situations where direct light reflection may be an issue.Quality = **** (4)UV Filtration = **** (4)Value = ***** (5)

Does its job, no ifs or buts about it. It is sturdy, easy to install/remove and a great value for its cost. I have no complaints and I buy from this company exclusively for all of my protective filters. I even forget it is on sometimes with how seamless it screws in to my camera.

I'll be honest, I really only use UV filters as a means of protection for my gear. With that out of the way, this filter works perfect for my needs. It's perfectly clear and doesn't affect the image quality. Although I normally go with a different brand, I was very happy to find that Tiffen makes a wider range of sizes than most. Pictured is the 30mm lens filter on my camcorder (which probably doesn't need one compared to my actual camera lenses, but better safe than sorry).
