Product Description
These filters absorb Ultra Violet (UV) light. Film is more sensitive to Ultra Violet light than our eyes. This often shows up as a haze or a bluish cast, especially when shot from high altitudes and from long distances, particularly over water. UV filters also help protect your lens from dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches and damage from cleaning. Since they absorb no normal light and have no effect on color or contrast, they can be kept on your lens at all times. Tiffen Ultra Violet filters are available in a variety of absorbtion levels and sizes. UV filter ---------- Standard UV. Most popular protection filter. UV MC -------------- Multi coated for extra flare protection. UV Warm ------------ Combines UV with Tiffen's '812' warming filter. Haze 1 ------------- Absorbs 75% of UV light. Haze 2 --------------Absorbs 100% of UV light. Haze 15--------------Absorbs 81% of UV light. Haze 16--------------Absorbs 86.5% of UV light Haze 17 ------------ Absorbs almost all UV light.

Tiffen 49mm UV Protection Filter Reviews
| 670 of 682 people found the following review helpful  Good quality product, but not what I wanted., By This review is from: Tiffen 72mm UV Protection Filter (Electronics) The product felt strong, solid, and well put together. The glass was clear with no visible tint or imperfections. Although this and another filter (same type different size) both arrived with smudges on the glass. The smudges were fairly easy to wipe off, but I suspect the items are either not cleaned before packaging, or I received someone's returned item. However, I had to return this item since they DON'T contain any anti-glare/reflective coating on them. When shooting towards a light source (light bulb, tv, sun, etc) a green reflection of the light source would appear on the recorded image. The green reflected image was caused by a reflection bouncing off of my lens's green tinted anti-glare coating which was bounced right back into the camera by this filter. If your lens isn't coated in an anti-glare coating the result will be even worse.Instead I picked up Quantaray filters from a local Wolf Camera that were coated with the anti-glare. They only cost a little more,...

I'm skeptical by nature, so I wanted to see for myself whether coated glass was really necessary. I purchased this Tiffen filter and used it on two different lenses and found that in almost every single photograph in which there was a light source, I found two smaller ghost images of the light source elsewhere in the photo. This uncoated glass really knows how to make lens flare POP (even if it's not the lens that's flaring...)! I sent mine back, with the biggest loss being my time and Christmas photographs of family that would have otherwise been very nice.What made the two little ghosts appear on the Tiffen? Light as faint as Christmas tree lights, table lamps, incandescent overhead bulbs, etc. You name it, basically. How do I know this was due to the UV filter and not my lenses? When I saw some pretty nasty flare, I... Read more 329 of 348 people found the following review helpful Far from perfect, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Tiffen 52mm UV Protection Filter (Camera) I bought this filter for my Canon 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens. The price was right, and I thought it would be a good way to protect the lens, which this probably does well. And while I am shooting under normal lighting conditions (flash or natural) the filter stays out of the way, but as soon as the lights go down this filter will ruin more photos than I can bear, due to an abundance reflective artifacts. If you take a photo of Christmas lights for example you will see the lights again in a faint green glow on the opposite side of the photo... VERY ANNOYING. |
