Digital camera reviews of Canon UV-1 58mm Haze Filter
Digital camera Review: A Top Product Recommended by Pro's! May 2008
Summary: 5 Stars
Thru the years, I have used UV filters on all of my photo equipment, including my newest Digital Canon, (READ my Review) for the following reasons, which may help you in several ways:
The Canon UV-1 58mm Haze filter -
* A 'Physical Protection barrier' for the front element of the lens. (Probably the Most
Important Reason), and here's Why:
* Protecting the Front Lens unique "Chromatic Coating". This 'coating' is what separates all
lenses, if the Glass is all equal, even within the same manufacturer, into categories from a
Good lens, all the way to a Superior one. Example - Minolta's Celtic vs Rokkor lenses
* Protection from dirt, dust, abrasions, and moisture. (The front lens is where all light &
images come thorough, that's recorded on film or microchip, so any Lens scratches,
abrasions, or smudges, all get recorded too). This ALSO keeps you from Damaging the
Chromatic Lens Coating!
* Easy Screw-in type, Easy to Change & Easy to Clean. That's 3 Easy's, People!
* Produce a very subtle 'Warming Effect', useful to counter the "Cooler" SHIFT and/or Colors
you sometimes get with some 'Lenses' or in bright sun or in shade. Example: Panasonic &
Pentex and some others have produced lenses with a 'Cool-Shift' lens coating and/or
microprocessor. - What this also means is that your Images will have to be 'Hue Corrected'.
* Very affordable with Excellent Benefit's. I usually buy in Pairs, so that I might have a spare,
just in case, and all pro photographers, bank on it. Just part of the 'must-have add-on's'.
Digital camera Review: Amazon misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
Amazon linked me to this lens filter from the cannon s5. I thought it would fit....it's not even close. I saw the same thing on another review only after I had purchased. The one star is for Amazon, not cannon.Digital camera Review: Amazon refunded for poor description
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this filter because the description stated it would fit my Canon S3. But, lo and behold, like a couple of other buyers, it is made to fit an attachment to my Canon S3. When I first returned it, I was charged postage, even though it was advertised in error. But, I followed through and persevered and to Amazon's credit, my entire purchase price was refunded. I am happy to see that the description has also been improved and is no longer misleading.Digital camera Review: Better protect that lense.
Summary: 5 Stars
If your a newbie to DSL's like I am and you read to better your skill's, you can see it mentioned often "-to put on a protective filter over your expensive lense." I got one like this with a camera bag/kit and ordered up another one for my telephoto. It's glass/clear and has a metal ring. I'm not real sure about the haze part of this description but think Safety Glasses for your lenses. The price isn't all that bad, I don't think.Digital camera Review: CAN'T USE WITH CANON S5 IS!
Summary: 2 Stars
This product is tagged to be used with the Canon S5 IS...so I purchased it with the thought of saving my lens from wear and tear.
Upon receiving the filter (and the lens cap that I needed to buy to use with the filter), I found that it
A. Doesn't attach to the Canon S5 IS unless you have the optional adaptor
B. Needs a new lens cap since the camera's won't fit the filter
C. If you do use the optional adaptor and attach this filter, you get terrible pictures due to the odd light reflections.
I do not recommend this item if you intend to use it with the Canon S5 IS
