Digital camera reviews of Tiffen 62mm UV Protection Filter
Digital camera Review: Not the best UV filter but good enough
Summary: 4 Stars
When I purchased this UV filter I had low $ in mind because I was going to be using it on a lens that I paid under $120.00 for and wouldn't be using all that often. Every lens needs a UV filter for protection and it actually does a pretty good job. For some of my more expensive lenses I've gone with Hoya multi-coated or B&W filters but the bottom line is this Tiffen filter works good for a low price like $13.00 or so.Digital camera Review: Absolutely 100% horrible filters...
Summary: 1 Stars
I decide to spend few dollars and to buy 3 filters pack that was advertised on Amazon.
After received I kind of get confused because nothing was happening when mounted on the lens. Warming filter did really not do anything except add little bit of color but that made picture look unrealistic and kind of old. It definitely did not add that nice filing and enrich colors as advertised. Then I get to ply with polarizing filter and this was total disappointment, it does do absolutely 110% nothing it is so bad to the point that I considering this to be just a perfect scam. I got about 100/150 pictures of the sun hitting ocean but absolutely nothing changed it does not mater how hard I try to adjust everything. Instructions say that I should change position and angle. I did, and there was of course difference by changing position, but no difference when I had polarizing filter on, that did not change anything. I try two lenses Sigma and Canon and two cameras Canon and Nikon and results are horrible. Don't buy it because it is definitely something you will buy and never use it.
I am returning mine....
Digital camera Review: Just as expected...
Summary: 5 Stars
I was so excited to get this filter set I had to try each out the same day. At first I didn't understand the idea of a circular polarization filter that spins. And when I first used it outside my home, it didn't seem to show much difference. I read the Tiffen booklet that came with the filters and it tells you how the polarization filter works better in certain situations than others. You also have to be a certain angle from the sun to get the full polarization effect. But once I got the hang of it after playing with it for a while, I love it.
I like how you can spin the filter because sometimes when you have the effect working while you're holding your camera horizontally, when you turn it for a vertical photo, the effect goes away. You simply turn the filter until you see the effect again, and shoot away. One time I was taking a photo of a rainbow and went to turn the camera and the rainbow instantly disappeared. It's kind of fun to play around with this. You can also add filters on top of this one, but I'm not sure how that may affect the polarization filter.
Overall this filter kit is wonderful and worth the cost since it normally costs more than this at a photo store. I haven't played with the warming filter yet, but the circular polarization lens is my favorite and probably will stay on my lens most of the time. I use this on my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi with a Sigma telephoto lens.
Digital camera Review: UV Protection Filter a Must!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tiffen has always produced quality products. Although the UV filter is a simple accessory, it is absolutely necessary to protect your lens.
Tips: Have the correct filter size ready for each lens you own. Put the filter on the lens as soon as you get your lens. It is much easier to clean the filter than to clean the surface of your coated lens. Also, if the filter is scratched, replace it. Easier to replace a scratched filter than to repair a scratched lens.

This filter does what its name implies; it protects your lens from scratches, dust, and other problems. That's about all this filter does, but it does it well enough.
