About This Item
While capturing the perfect shot, the 67mm UV (Ultra Violet) Wide Angle Thin Glass Filter serves as an essential tool for photographers aiming to achieve crystal-clear images. This high-quality filter effectively absorbs UV light, which is more sensitive to film and digital sensors than the human eye. The result is the elimination of haze or bluish casts that can occur in photographs taken from high altitudes or over long distances, particularly over bodies of water.Crafted with precision, this filter is designed to be ultra-thin, making it an ideal companion for wide-angle lenses where vignetting might be a concern. Its slim profile, however, should be noted for its compatibility with certain lens caps, as some users have reported issues with standard Canon or Tamron lens caps fitting securely.Beyond its UV filtering capabilities, this filter acts as a steadfast protector for your lens, safeguarding against the common perils of dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches. It also provides an additional layer of defense against damage that can occur during routine cleaning.The Tiffen UV filter does not alter the color balance or contrast of your photos, allowing it to remain on your lens at all times without affecting the quality of your images. Tiffen offers a range of UV filters to suit various photographic needs, including:- Standard UV: The most popular protection filter, ideal for general use.- UV MC: Features multi-coating for additional flare protection.- UV Warm: Merges UV protection with Tiffen's '812' warming filter for a touch of warmth.- Haze 1: Absorbs 75% of UV light, suitable for mild haze reduction.- Haze 2: Absorbs 100% of UV light, offering complete haze elimination.- Haze 15: Absorbs 81% of UV light, striking a balance between clarity and absorption.- Haze 16: Absorbs 86.5% of UV light, for those seeking a higher level of haze control.- Haze 17: Absorbs almost all UV light, providing maximum haze protection.The UV Wide Angle Thin filter is specifically tailored for use with wide-angle lenses, ensuring that your scenic shots are as sharp and clear as possible. When choosing this filter, photographers should consider the compatibility with their existing lens caps or explore alternative cap options to ensure the complete protection of their valuable lenses.
