 Excellent protection for very few dollars January 29, 2007
7 out of 9 found this review helpful
With the price of new lenses going up all the time, it's in your best interest to spend a few more bucks to protect them. UV haze filters do a great job for very few extra dollars. I have them on both of my new Canon L lenses. They were put on as soon as I took them out of the box. With 25 years of professional photography experience under my belt, I highly recommend this product.

Nice Canon filter. $5 bonus bucks from pricegrabber will bring the cost down.
A good piece of gear January 16, 2007

Canon is getting a reputation for overpriced gear when it comes to advanced amateurs or pros. But there are some minor exceptions. This is one of them.
Canon's price is reasonable compared to others. It's quality is not to be argued with.There are several companies I'd buy filters from based on where I get the best price including shippng. So I've bought several of these. I can't say without a quick invenory how many Canon filters I've bought.
Should you keep a UV or piece of glass on your lens? That;s not a simple call, but generally I'd say yes. When I worked at this for a living, I usually didn't with specific lenses. Some occasions allowed for it, but the effect on optics however trivial is real -- bt only sometimes. Someone who knows about when will know. The others should keep it on. I banged up a lot of lenses. Some had bent filter rings. One had some damage to the front element. It was a Nikon lens bought new. It looked awful and worked fine. I checked the optics against the original test shots and they were the same. A filter wouldn't have protected any lens from some of the things that totaled a couple.
Every lens I buy has a filter of some kind on it within a reasonable period of time. In the small number of cases where I think it matters, I take it off. The result is that I've banged up a couple of filters instead of my lenses. A slip that could have ruined a $1500 lens cost me a $40 filter, assuming I objected to it being scarred up. (actually, I repaied it and repainted it).
Murphy's law says it's going to happen. I bought a new lens last Noember and a filter. As soon as I put the lens on the camerra, the dog showed up and gave the front element a big lick. Carefully leaned it off and put a filter on. I'd have that happen to a lense with a soft coating.
The sharp cut matters on some lenses. But others make an equivalent. If he Canon price is comparable to oen of the other major brands, buy what's easy for you-- or this one

I want to protect my lens. While not the most expensive, the Canon is adequate for what I need
Easier to Clean and Replace Than Your Front Element May 10, 2006

I never take my UV filter off of my lens unless I am going to immediately put on a different filter. There are basically two camps out there, those that feel you should always use a UV filter to protect your lens from dirt and scratches and those that feel it is a waste of time and only degrades your image. Well, I tried going without one for awhile and then dirt started to build up on the front element of my very expense lens. And although you can clean the front element of a lens, I feel much, much safer wiping my comparatively cheap UV filter time and time again rather than chancing any actual lens damage. I think for the nearly unquantifiable loss in image quality you may suffer by having a UV filter on, it is well worth the extra piece of mind it gives me.
