5 out of 5 stars Great buy, sturdy and durable lens cover   July 4, 2008
I have had this lens cover for almost a year now, and it has not failed me since. The frame of the lens is made of rigid metal, and the lens is made out of some firm glass. The lens cover screws onto my Canon lens with no problem, and I would expect the same for any other type of lens other than Canon. Overall excellent quality and great durablity.


3 out of 5 stars ok for the price   June 30, 2008
i've bought this one for my canon 200mm f/2.8L II ...
althought sharpness has not suffered.. flare has ... which buggs me alot..
i also would like to point out that when i took the filter out of its package.. it had smears and oily smudges on it... and that really pissed me off.. if some one is to smear my filter .. it should be MEEE
kinda disappointed with it..
when it comes to optics.. you get what you pay for is a safe assumption..





2 out of 5 stars Get the Hoya   January 12, 2008
 6 out of 9 found this review helpful

I got this filter based on the reviews here to protect my Nikkor 18-200. I feel disappointed with this filter for 2 reasons: (1) it came with light scratches (obviously used), (2) it produces internal reflections (it is not multicoated) -- when pointed at the light, a strong flare develops. (From what I read about coatings, multicoated filters produce a green reflection of a light source, filters with few coatings produce a faint reflection and uncoated filters have a bright reflection -- this filter shows a pretty distinct reflection that is not green). I returned this filter and got a Hoya 72mm UV HMC filter. Much better. Occasional flare can be seen (I guess this is the price of protecting your lens), but it is *significantly* better than the Canon filter. My recommendation is to get the Hoya filter for a little more - it is worth it. (One drawback of the Hoya was it was much more difficult to screw onto the lens.) Happy picture taking.


5 out of 5 stars works as it should   January 5, 2008
I bought this filter because it was one of the cheaper options, and because I didn't see much need shelling out a bunch of money for a UV filter. This canon filter does everything I expected it to (i.e.: protect my lens). It is also a perfect fit on my sigma 18-200 lens.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap but high quality UV filter.



5 out of 5 stars Good for the price   January 3, 2008
This filter is good for the price and made by Canon. It fits my lens very well and the lens cover fits over it perfectly and doesn't fall off.
It's a great buy. I also received it one day before it was scheduled to arrive!
