Digital camera reviews of Tiffen 67mm UV Protection Filter
Digital camera Review: It's round!
Summary: 5 Stars
OK, It's a UV filter. I use it mainly as a piece of "clear" glass to protect the front element of a lens. What can you say about this one? It is round. The mounting is solid and a nice black color with legible lettering. The threads are accurately cut and it easiy screws in and out without getting stuck or coming loose. The middle part is transparent so you can take pictures through it. It looks to be of a uniform density, with neither darker nor lighter areas. All in all, it is everything anyone could ever want in a UV filter. The single negative thing I saw was that it is inexpensive. If you get a charge of telling everyone how expensive your camera and ancillary equipment are, forget this filter.Digital camera Review: Just your normal basic filter
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just your basic protective filter. It is not multicoated but you can also wash it, wipe it with your shirt and do whatever else without damaging it. I will not de-rate it because "oh, it is not as good as a Hoya Digital" because, well, it isn't and it is not priced as such either. You get a decent protective filter for fifteen bucks, if you need multicoating - buy a different filter.
I use it in place of a lens cap and will remove it on occasion, shooting into the sun, to reduce glare. In 90% of what I photograph, it is not noticeable. I also read that Tiffens are pretty tough mechanically but I did not yet have a chance to find out.
The threaded ring holding the glass can unthread a bit with use. Just tighten it with a pointed object if it does.
Digital camera Review: Life saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tiffen is one of the top brands for filters and putting this on my canon 60d already saved my $500 lens! Crisp and clear and protectiveDigital camera Review: Mixed results
Summary: 2 Stars
I have had one of these filters on my Nikon 18-70mm DX lens for a couple of years and had no trouble with it. So I let Amazon add one to my order when I bought the Nikon 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 VR lens. The filter ruins the performance of the 70-300 VR, the lens doesn't focus correctly and there are strange reflection patterns in the out-of-focus areas of the image when you zoom in to 100%.Digital camera Review: Nice accompaniment for my 70-200L IS
Summary: 4 Stars
What can I say? This is a nice and inexpensive accompaniment for my L lens. It was nice to have them both delivered at the same time and start shooting right away and not run off to camera store to buy UV filter.
Nice feature for Amazon to bring the accessories to your attention at check out time!
