## Description

Product Description 55MM UV PROTECTOR FILTER Manufacturer's Description Protects your lens from dust, moisture, scratches or breakage and reduced excessive blue haze caused by UV light. For use with cameras, lenses and camcorders with a 55mm filter thread.

Review: Like a glove - I had a Hoya 1B HMC Skylight before, which broke over a pebble and saved my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (on a Canon 40D house) when I dropped the bag (a Soligor Classic Line, size M) from about 1m / 3.5ft. I decided on this filter mainly for the cost savings compared to a Hoya or Dörr etc, and am very pleased. I'm not a pro photographer, and use this filter mostly indoors (as mentioned above, it sits on the front of a 30mm f/1.4), so UV influx is rarely a problem anyway. That said, I haven't noticed any bad influence at all of this filter on the picture quality I get, and the fit (thread size and cap compatibility) is great and build quality seems all good so I'm a happy sailor.
Review: Use Protection! - For a small price this well made UV filter could save you from disaster as it protects your lens from scratches and smudges. Of course it also does a good job in filtering out UV rays. It fits perfectly well and will stay in place for as long as i continue to use my small prime lens. Don't leave home without it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inexpensive way to protect an expensive lens
*by M***H on 20 February 2021*

I'm not a photographic expert so anyone reading these comments should take this in to account. Whenever I buy a new lens, I tend to purchase a UV filter and a lens cap saver at the same time. It makes sense to me to protect an expensive lens with such an inexpensive piece of kit. I have used Hoya UV filters in the past but I thought I would give this one from Tiffen on my latest lens. So far, I'm very pleased - out of the box, the filter felt robust and seems well made. The screw thread was well defined and attached to the lens with no issues. The lens cap also still fits in with the filter in place. In use, I have found the filter unobtrusive and have seen none of the reflections mentioned in one or two reviews previously. Highly recommended as a relatively inexpensive way to protect an expensive lens. Update (Sep 21) In my earlier review, I stated that I had seen none of the reflections mentioned in one or two reviews; after some time using this lens I have to say that I do see the reflections noted by others. This was not immediately obvious and tends to be more noticeable when shooting under artificial light. I have amended my original start rating to 4 in light of this.
