 Low Price Comes With Tradeoffs March 20, 2008
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.
Functional and good build - not pro level lens but you get what you pay for February 15, 2008
I use these on my Nikkor 18-200mm, and they are well constructed with no defect. The filters achieve the desired results, but these aren't high quality multicoated or extra thin lens for better light emission.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase. They were fairly economical for what I needed.

Needed another article and this item added enough to make the shipping free. Well packaged and defect free.

A good, cheap UV filter for protecting lenses. I bought this for my Nikon 18-200mm lens. It can often introduce flares into your images when shooting towards sunlight or strong light sources so beware. To reduce that effect, buy a multi coated filter.

I have used the UV filter since it arrived. I attached it to the 18-200mm VR lens and it never comes off. I also use the polarizer lens during bright sunlight. It makes the colors really come alive. All around good filter set.
