2 out of 5 stars Get the Hoya   January 12, 2008
 13 out of 16 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.

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.

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!

If you want a NICE UV/Haze filter, you'll need to spend some money. This $17 filter is not worth the materials used to build it. Sadly, the only Canon UV/Haze filter that's ever proved to be a winner is the L39 Sharp Cut versions which I've only seen in 77mm. This is junk.

This filter is not only recommended, it is needed by any of you that has a DSLR camera + Lens. It won't make your photos much better, that depends on your composition and lighting, but it will protect your very expensive lens. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ever use your expensive lens without this filter on it - better to scratch the inexpensive filter than your lens.
Now repeat this a few times: Put filter on lens, put filter on lens.
Happy Shooting!
