58mm UV Lens Filter

It's so good that I forget that it's on, it protects the lens and it makes no difference on my photos, now that's good!

I bought this filter to protect my new lens I usually use a polarizing filter, so this was a bit of a switch for me. This filter should also cut through atmospheric haze for those landscape shots during the hazy days of summer. I made some outdoor shots with and without the filter and found that the color of the photo was better with the filter on. Without the filter there was a slight bluish cast. Overall, I am very satisfied with this filter.

I purchased this after the salesman recommended a not this exact filter, but that I purchase one. Initially I was a little like yeah, he's just trying to get me to purchase more...but I did eventually come around to purchasing it and I'm glad I did. I took some pics at home before going on a trip and used the camera with and without the filter. I did not notice any distortion or color variations. On my trip I did a lot of hiking. Two of my days of hiking were to waterfalls and geysers. The wind was ripping, the water spray was heavy and I did worry about the moisture with the camera. I had to wipe the lense frequently, and it was then that I realized I was really glad I bought the filter. I realised that if I wiped it and scratched it, it was not a big deal, I can replace the filter fairly cheaply, where if I scratched the actual lens I would be devistated. The picture quality was not changed in the least. Really glad I purchased it.

Filter was very easy to install. I'm now comfortable that my lens is protected from scratches or other damage. The price was attractive so I bought a second one for my telephoto lens.

Made from premium-quality glass, this Insignia™ NS-UVF58 58mm UV lens filter effectively minimizes atmospheric haze and glare caused by ultraviolet light, so you can take improved outdoor photos. What can I say it's a UV filter to protect your expensive lens. It's a must have have item for the quality it's a great buy. I always buy lens filters for every lens I purchase. Price was on piont.

The lens filter is quick and easy to put on your camera and comes with a case to keep it scratch free when not in use. Also when the lens is in use, it can serve as an added layer of protection to keep your camera's lens scratch free.

I bought a new nikon d3300 with 18-55mm lens. I chose this UV lens for the price and the quality. the diameter of my lens is 52mm but use a 58mm to make sure the UV lens filter does not come out in my pictures. at 18mm you sometimes get this dark ring around the borders of your pictures courtesy of the same size UV lens filter. A good investment as well. I heard a good point. Nikkor lenses as well as many other have a coating on the lens. They will get dirty and will need cleaning. After time this coating is removed giving your pictures unecessary addition to your pictures. This filter also protects this coating on your lenses from accidental scratches. Drops that might go lens first. If you crack a filter atleast you just replace a filter for a very small fraction of the cost of your lens.

You spent a lot of money for your SLR or digital SLR camera, and then you plunked down another large chunk of cash for a quality lens. Do you really want to blow another heavy chunk of change for a basic, thread on UV filter? Well, I would normally advise that you don't skimp on quality when it comes to filters. After all, would you pay a premium price for a high performance automobile, only to fill it with watered down fuel? I should nope not! So is it such a bright idea to buy such a low cost UV filter for your high-end SLR lens? Well, maybe it is if you are considering the Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter. This filter does NOT offer the highest level of UV filtration, but it is rather sufficient for most conditions, and the build quality and materials used in this filter are very good. For most digital SLR users, a UV filter is a must have for protecting your lens optics, and it helps to clear up the hazy and washed out look in many of your outdoor photos. This filter has proven to clean up many of my digital photographs, and I have found almost no internal reflection artifacts. Notice I said ALMOST no internal reflection. I leave my UV filters on all of my lenses almost all of the time, and this filter has produced some minor reflection when shooting indoor photos with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide angle lens. This seems to only happen when shooting in dim lighting conditions, and when aiming the lens in the direction of a strong light source, such as a table lamp. Since my Canon EOS 40D has a "Live View" feature that lets me see what the picture is going to look like (displayed on the 3" LCD), I can see the reflection artifacts before I shoot the picture, and therefore have found ways to reframe my shots to avoid the reflections. However, I recommend that you simply remove the UV filter when shooting in these conditions. As I said before, I typically do not recommend buying low cost filters for your high quality lenses, but I prefer to invest my money on creative filters and not pour too much into a filter that is primarily used to simply protect the front of the lens. Many manufacturers, including Tiffen, offer higher quality UV/Haze filters for SLR lenses, and you may wish to spend the extra money if you are looking for deeper UV removal from your pictures. However, if you are looking for great lens protection and a decent level of UV filtration for a modest investment, you honestly can't go wrong with this filter. Just remember to remove the filter, or frame your shots carefully when shooting in situations where direct light reflection may be an issue.
