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.

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars It is a good filter
I will begin by saying I am not a professional photographer.

I bought this to protect my Canon 18-135mm 3.5-5.6f lens. It arrived in fine condition, and was very easy to attach.

I have noticed no abnormalities in image quality, and it’s perfectly fine (and cheap enough) for my purposes.

3 Stars Portable Guy’s return policy
Can anybody tell me Portable Guy’s return policy or how to contact them? I get nothing but a circular set of instructions that bounce me back and forth between PG and Amazon and a message “Portable Guy has not specified their refund and returns policy” –I am at thomach3@yahoo.com

5 Stars Works For Me
It fits my Panasonic DMC-FZ35 and protects that great Leica lens so I’m happy with it. I must confess that I was momentarily confused as I’d expected it to mount on the outer ring, but it fits on the lens itself. Just extend it and it fits like a charm. I personally feel quite relieved knowing that the lens won’t accidentally get dinged or scratched while I’m using the camera. I’m not intending to play catch with it, but why take the risk when you don’t need to.

5 Stars A purchase absolutely necessary
It filter improve a little the image quality, furthermore it works like a shield anti scratches or any lens damage.

You must have one.

5 Stars Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter
Received quickly. Good vendor.

Good quality product.

I always use a protective lense on my lenses. That is why I still have and are using lenses I purchesed in 1974, and they are like new.
