About This Item
Just as a shield protects a warrior, the 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter safeguards your camera or camcorder lens from the everyday hazards of dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches. This indispensable accessory can remain on your lens at all times, serving as a constant guardian against damage, even during cleaning.The UV filter's primary function is to absorb Ultra Violet light, a type of light that film is more sensitive to than the human eye. This sensitivity often manifests as a haze or a bluish cast in your photos, especially when shooting from high altitudes or over long distances, particularly over water. By absorbing UV light, this filter effectively eliminates these visual distortions, ensuring your images remain clear and true to life.Tiffen, a trusted name in the industry, offers Ultra Violet filters in a variety of absorption levels and sizes. The standard UV filter is the most popular choice for lens protection. For those seeking extra flare protection, the UV MC filter features multi-coating. The UV Warm filter combines UV protection with Tiffen's '812' warming filter for a unique effect. The Haze series of filters, ranging from Haze 1 to Haze 17, offer varying degrees of UV light absorption, with Haze 17 absorbing almost all UV light. For wide-angle lenses, the UV Wide Angle Thin filter is the perfect fit.In addition to its protective and corrective functions, the Tiffen 58mm UV glass filter is designed for convenience. It easily screws onto a Canon lens and features a recessed gap for attaching a lens cap. You can even attach a lens hood with the lens cap on, preventing dust from gathering on the surface of the filter. In essence, the 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is more than just a lens accessory; it's an investment in the longevity and quality of your photography equipment..
