Customers commend the 52mm UV Lens Filter for its protective qualities, affordability, and snug fit on compatible lenses. The UV filter is said to provide ample protection for the lens, and customers appreciate its budget-friendly price point. The filter also fits perfectly on cameras like the Nikon J1, making it easy to use. While some concerns about potential distortion have been raised, many users have not noticed any adverse effects on their images.
When the great nature photographer was asked to join arguments about whether a UV filter over a lens would degrade the the picture too much he would ask something like "Which takes a better picture - a lens with a UV filter that has been cleaned with a sweaty t-shirt, or a scratched lens?" I give this paraphrase to make a point. If I need the absolute highest detail in my photos I take the filter off, but otherwise it is there to protect the lens and help the photo out just a touch. This one does that for me just fine. It degrades the picture sharpnes a tiny bit, but is a great way to protect the lens.

The filter does what I need and for a fraction of the price of some of the name brands. My only complaint is that the threading on the aluminum ring feels slightly rough, almost to the point where it feels like a step was skipped in the manufacturing process. It does thread on to the lens without much hassle, but not as smoothly as I had hoped. For the price, I will live with that one minor complaint. I can't say enough good about Best-Buy products. I absolutely love every one I've ever purchased. This is no different. It fit great out of the box it was a clean glass that protects my expensive lens. Wouldn't hesitate to buy it several more times, if needed

If you buy a new lens, you MUST get one of these lens filters, it will protect the glass of your lens from smears, scratches, etc. Plus, ig you do like I do, I take off the lens cap when I know I will be using my camera, and with this little gem, I don't have to worry about lens damage. If the filter gets scratched, just remove and replace, it doesn't get much easier than that.
