5 Stars It’s good
it works, it’s clean, and it’s pretty clear, what more can I ask for in a protective lens?
5 Stars lens saver… in more ways than 1
i purchased this filter to protect my $1700 lens from dirt and scratches, little did in know i was saving myself from replacing that $1700 lens. i was shooting a wedding and on the run when i set my camera with my 70-200 lens attatched on a bench. it fell to the concrete ground, lens first. when i turned it over, there was a crack right down the middle. scared and upset, i had to put the lens away and keep shooting. it wasn’t until the next day when my husband had to ‘hammer’ the lens filter off that we realized it was only the less than 50 dollar filter… what a relief! otherwise, it’s great, and i never realize it’s there..
3 Stars loose glass between metal rings
I may have received a defective one but the glass is loose in between the metal ring holders. It still works and acts as a protector but it is annoying to have the clinking sound of glass if I tilt the filter.
1 Star Right lens, wrong camera
Sorry to say I was not aware I placed an order for the incorrect lens for my new Canon camera. So now I feel stuck with a product I may never use.
Don’t know where to turn now. Any help?
3 Stars Better UV Filters Out There
I returned the Tiffen UV filter after comparison with a Calumet 58 mm multi-coated UV filter I have. Of the two UV filters, the Tiffen filter had considerably more glare and relection. I think I paid around $25 for the Calumet filter (only slightly more money for better quality). Doesn’t make sense to me to put a mediocre filter in front of a high-quality lens… in my humble opinion.
