Digital camera reviews of Tiffen 72mm UV Protection Filter
Digital camera Review: Great price! No complaints. Cheap insurance and more!
Summary: 5 Stars
The UV filter is used by most of us as simply protection for our expensive lenses. It is the primary reason I bought this filter, and at this pricing, it's unbeatable. It fits nicely on the business end of my Nikkor 17-200mm VR lens, with absolutely no issues on focus, clarity or even the lens cap.
But I discovered that it's a bit more than that, and this filter actually works as designed in blocking UV light. Add that to the price and fit, and this filter gets my highest recommendation.
Digital camera Review: It saved my lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this to protect my actual lens and it paid huge dividends. Not sure how it happened but I took the camera out of the camera bag and the protection filter was cracked like a spider web. Fotunately, the lens underneath it didn't have a scratch on it. If I hadn't spent the little bit of money on the lens filter, I would have been looking a costly repair of a $1500 lens.Digital camera Review: Lens Protection

Summary: 3 Stars
This Tiffen UV filter is more economical than some of the alternatives. However this filter uses uncoated glass. This means it is reflective. As a result, there is a serious problem with flare in certain lighting situations, such as might occur with indoor flash photography or shooting towards a bright light source. In a side by side comparisons with a multi-coated filter, I observed a dramatic difference. To resolve this problem, you could take the filter off or use a hood. However, given that the lens this is going on probably cost a lot of money, I recommend a close look at a multi coated filter such as the Hoya Pro 1 Digital for much better overall performance.
