Amazon.com Product Description
The Canon UV-1 filter for 52mm lenses absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays without increase of exposure; thereby preventing haziness and foggy effects in distant landscapes. It also has a very subtle warming effect, which can be useful to counter the "cool" colors you sometimes get in bright sun or in shade. It can be left on the lens at all times for protection of the camera's lens.

Easier to Clean and Replace Than Your Front Element
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.

basic lens protector
I am using this to protect my EF 50mm f1.8. No complaints. Good price. Fits well. No noticeable effect on image quality, but added peace of mind.

Inexpensive lens protection
I purchased this filter to go with my Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lens. I'm very happy with my purchase. I know that some UV filters have been known to negatively affect photos (increasing vignetting, mostly), but I have not experienced that with this filter. It wasn't the cheapest choice, but it certainly wasn't the most expensive, either, and it seems to do its job well. Definitely worth the $11 I paid to protect my much more valuable lens!
