Customer Reviews

does its job
I got this Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter for my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. it fits live a glove and protects the lens well. so far I haven't noticed any image deterioration or side effects. for $6.99 a pop i'd recommend it to anyone!

Durable but mediocre
I only use this filter when I'm shooting in extreme conditions. It is very durable, and can be cleaned by the edge of my shirt. However, flare is common, and this filter slows my lens down a bit as well as lessens contrast. I use a Hoya multicoated filter under any conditions except the most extreme. The price is right, however.

Note to filter reviewers....
Amazon lumps together ALL the Tiffen filter reviews. So unless you specify which specific filter you are reviewing, no one will know! This makes all those reviews that say something like, "this filter made my pictures too dark/light/red/green/whatever" totally useless.

Amazon tends to lump together similar products (like all or many cameras from one manufacturer), so in general it is a good idea to specify the product you are reviewing in your Amazon reviews.
