Summary: 4 Stars
You need a UV filter in front of your lens. Simple as that. Tiffen is quality.Digital camera Review: Filters for digital SLR's
Summary: 5 Stars
This name-brand filter for my Nikon D60 was a fraction of the price charged in photography speciality stores, and much cheaper than in the so-called "discount houses." It came quickly and in perfect condition.Digital camera Review: Fine for protecting the lens, but not much else.
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this filter before I understood the difference between cheap filters and ones that actually work well. I was getting such great results with my new 50mm f/1.8 lens during the day, but at night i was getting a lot of ghosting and flaring in my pictures. It took me a while to realize it was because of the filter. After doing some online research, I decided to remove the filter, and my pictures were all suddenly better with that lens. The glass was affecting my picture quality!
The glass used is cheap, and not very good quality, so it can actually degrade your pictures. It works well to protect the glass on the lens from scratches or dust, but it's a much better idea to pay $20 more and get a good filter that will actually help you get better pictures. If you don't want to pay the extra for a decent filter, you might be better off just leaving the filter off. I reccomend Hoya Pro1 and B&W filters; and in the 52mm size, the price is very reasonable. Once you start buying nicer lenses that require 77mm filters, that's where the good filters really start adding up. But again, you aren't going to want to put a cheap filter on a $1000 lens.
I know this review might sound negative, but if it helps someone capture a memory better because they decided to get a little nicer filter, it will be worth it.
Digital camera Review: Fine product, great value, but too thick to stack with others
Summary: 3 Stars
Good built quality, greate price, work fine by itself, but it is too thick to stack with other filters without getting dark corners :)
