67mm UV Lens Filter

Camera: Nikon D5000 Lens(es): Nikon 18-55mm VR f/3.5, Nikon 70-300m f/4.5 I purchased two of these, the 67mm as well as a 52 mm, mostly to protect my lens from dust, scratches and other possible harm. I quickly learned you get what you pay for as when i went out to take my shots, I found flaring and ghosting in half of my images. In addition, I photographed my sisters cheer competition with two separte lenses and both sets of pictures had similar ghosted patterns imitating the lights hanging from the ceiling. Once I took off the filters, I had great, crisp and clear pictures. I have decided to hold on to the filters for instances when i shoot photos on a beach or around kids, but they will be left off in most cases. Anyone else seem to have these issues?

I purchased my UV Lens filter a day or two after I bought the Cannon EOS T4i. I am glad I did. It is a lot cheaper to relpace a scratched lens filter than it is to replace the actual lens. I had no problem with the fit on my 18-135 lens. It does not enterchange with my 55-250 lens, so I do need to get another filter for that one. It is worth the money. This filters the UV which helps with the coloring of the photos as well as protecting the lens. On my list for future purchases is to get a polorized filter to allow clearer shots of objects that are underwater.

I sort of inherited an older DSLR with two lenses and one of them had a protective clear filter on the front and the other didn't. So while I was at Best Buy I tried to pick up a UV filter for the front of the lens that didn't have one. I thought I remembered the filter size and got a 67mm one. $10 is a reasonable price for one this size. When I got home, I discovered that it was the wrong lens I was thinking of, and I really needed a 58mm. I went back and was hoping to do an exchange, but my Best Buy was out of that size, so I had to do a return. I wound up getting one off eBay.

A UV lens such as this can only be rated for what it DOESN'T do, namely degrade the light coming through the lens. While I haven't done any scientific optical tests, I can say that I've noticed no aberrations coming through the glass, which merits the full 5 stars. Its main job is to physically protect the edge and front element of the lens against bumps and scratches and thankfully, I haven't had to test for that.

I believe that the price for this filter is very fair, because UV filters do not alter your photos, rather they are just for protection. It's much better to spend $9.99 on a new filter than replacing your lens for hundreds! The actual product is very light and sturdy, and includes the 62mm step down ring. (so you can use it on 67 and 62mm lenses) I highly recommend this filter!

Recently purchased a new camera and needed to find a good protector to protect the lens. This one was highly recommended by friends and family and was definitely worth the money to purchase. The lens protector does not effect the quality of the pictures being taken and can save you thousands of dollars if you ever accidently scratch your camera's lens. Best thing about the product is that if you do happen to scratch the lens, you can always replace the protector.

I bought this filter to protect a lens in dirty shooting conditions. That's what it does. I don't know about it's "UV filtering" capabilities, but that is not why I bought is so I am not really concerned with that aspect. It is cheap lens protection and it works fine for that purpose.

If you are going to purchase any nice camera (which I consider to be an investment), it only makes sense to protect it. This Rocketfish UV lens not only protects the lens but it aids in a better picture quality.
