Digital camera reviews of Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter
Digital camera Review: Good protection
Summary: 5 Stars
I just use this as a protection layer for my expensive lens.
I do not observe any reduction of picture quality. Well worth the price as it prevents scratches from daily use.
Digital camera Review: Good protection
Summary: 5 Stars
Does a good job keeping my lenses safe. It's not the top of the line filter out there but I haven't noticed any difference in image quality with and without the filter. Good value for the price.Digital camera Review: Good to avoid scratches on my pricey lens
Summary: 4 Stars
In the forever debate over whether to have a filter or not I choose filter. I know that a hood is going to protect the glass as well but this can also protect. I've been one of those people that have managed to seriously gash my lens on my Canon Powershot point and shoot and got a little scratch on my Sigma 17-70mm recently. No clue how these happened but I do know that when it comes to my Canon 70-200 I'm not taking many chances.
For this filter specifically I will say that I haven't seen any degradation or problems during normal use. The one thing I have seen is lens flare. Shooting with this during concerts or towards the sun definitely can give extra flare. If I'm shooting towards lights, filter off, if I'm really worried about picture quality (possible future large prints), filter off (just to be sure I don't lose anything), all the other times, filter on.
Digital camera Review: Great against drops
Summary: 5 Stars
Brought it mostly to protect my expensive Canon L lens. My wife dropped the camera this week and broke the filter, but not a single scratch to the lens. Worked exactly as expected :) Wouldn't recommend dropping your camera just to test the filter, but if it happens, there's a good chance your lens will survive.
Also didn't see any chromatic alterations after using the filter. So far photos and colors are true to original.
Digital camera Review: Great deal
Summary: 5 Stars
It is not the best UV filter you can buy, but definitely good value for the money.
I have it mounted on my tokina 11-16/2.8 to protect my investment.
So far I removed it only once when it was causing a flare that I did not want in the picture.
Definitely a must have.
