Customer Reviews

decent considering low price
I currently only purchase multi-coated UV filters for all my lenses, but it's difficult to find an inexpensive 77mm Hoya HMC filter. I took a chance on this Zeikos UV filter, noting that the packaging did indeed state that it was multi-coated. When I received the product, the glass appears to have no better anti-glare coating than a non-coated UV filter I compared it to. My Hoya filters show little to no light reflections (just a faint blue-green ghost reflection of light sources), but the Zeikos just looks like basic glass. I haven't noted any ill effects (reflections/flares/distortion) in photos yet, but I'll just have to bite the bullet and pay the extra $$ for a Hoya filter.

A step up from non-coated
A step up from non-coated UV filters, such as the Tiffen UV filter also in this price range. Suppresses reflections better than that filter, but still nowhere near as well as my lens does on its own. I'd say instead of taking off the filter to do any shot where reflections were an issue with the non-coated filter, now I take this filter off maybe half of the time.

Lens Filter & Protection
The Zeikos folks produce great coated filters, bar-none!! I will be looking to them for all my filter needs in the future. Good glass, & the coating is very, very well done and professionally crafted. I am in the process of replacing all my filters with this brand.These filters are as good as the Nikon brand for 1/10th the cost, "No-Jive"!!

Check them out and, Oh Heck, just buy them, you can not loose...
