Tiffen 43mm UV Protector Filter 43mm Lens Filter Impact & Scratch Resistant

I've been using the Tiffen 67UVP 67mm UV Protection Filter for a few months now, and I'm really impressed with it. Here's why I think it's a great choice for anyone looking for a lens protector: Protection First and Foremost The primary function of a UV filter is to shield your valuable camera lens from scratches, dust, and fingerprints. The Tiffen 67UVP does this admirably. It's well-built with a scratch-resistant surface and a tight-fitting metal ring that minimizes the chance of the filter falling off accidentally. Double Duty: UV Protection and Clear Images While the UV protection is a bonus, the filter doesn't affect the image quality in any noticeable way. There's no color cast or softening, and it doesn't introduce any vignetting (dark corners) even on wide-angle lenses. This makes it a great option for keeping on your lens at all times for peace of mind. Affordable Protection Tiffen UV filters are known for being well-priced, and the 67UVP is no exception. For around $10 to $20, you're getting a high-quality filter from a reputable brand that will last for years. Overall, I highly recommend the Tiffen 67UVP 67mm UV Protection Filter. It's an affordable way to safeguard your investment and keep your lens looking its best. Here are some additional points to consider: Some photographers argue that UV filters can very slightly reduce image quality. In my experience, this is negligible and far outweighed by the protection benefits. If you're mostly shooting indoors or in good lighting conditions, a UV filter may not be necessary. However, it's still a good idea to have one on hand for situations where dust or scratches are a concern.

Good quality and well-made. Fits perfectly on my lens and the outside metal thread easily accepts my lens hood. I am very happy with the craftsmanship and value.

I’ve always been a fan of Tiffen filters, I’ve owned a few and they have served me well throughout the years, don’t skimp and protect your lenses . Highly recommended.

very good product, arrived quickly

You spent a lot of money for your SLR or digital SLR camera, and then you plunked down another large chunk of cash for a quality lens. Do you really want to blow another heavy chunk of change for a basic, thread on UV filter? Well, I would normally advise that you don't skimp on quality when it comes to filters. After all, would you pay a premium price for a high performance automobile, only to fill it with watered down fuel? I should nope not! So is it such a bright idea to buy such a low cost UV filter for your high-end SLR lens? Well, maybe it is if you are considering the Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter. This filter does NOT offer the highest level of UV filtration, but it is rather sufficient for most conditions, and the build quality and materials used in this filter are very good. For most digital SLR users, a UV filter is a must have for protecting your lens optics, and it helps to clear up the hazy and washed out look in many of your outdoor photos. This filter has proven to clean up many of my digital photographs, and I have found almost no internal reflection artifacts. Notice I said ALMOST no internal reflection. I leave my UV filters on all of my lenses almost all of the time, and this filter has produced some minor reflection when shooting indoor photos with my Sigma 10-20mm ultra-wide angle lens. This seems to only happen when shooting in dim lighting conditions, and when aiming the lens in the direction of a strong light source, such as a table lamp. Since my Canon EOS 40D has a "Live View" feature that lets me see what the picture is going to look like (displayed on the 3" LCD), I can see the reflection artifacts before I shoot the picture, and therefore have found ways to reframe my shots to avoid the reflections. However, I recommend that you simply remove the UV filter when shooting in these conditions. As I said before, I typically do not recommend buying low cost filters for your high quality lenses, but I prefer to invest my money on creative filters and not pour too much into a filter that is primarily used to simply protect the front of the lens. Many manufacturers, including Tiffen, offer higher quality UV/Haze filters for SLR lenses, and you may wish to spend the extra money if you are looking for deeper UV removal from your pictures. However, if you are looking for great lens protection and a decent level of UV filtration for a modest investment, you honestly can't go wrong with this filter. Just remember to remove the filter, or frame your shots carefully when shooting in situations where direct light reflection may be an issue.

Worked great

Tiffen 62mm UV protection filter are another of Tiffen’s range of products. Tiffen have a good reputation of making great filters. This particular lens is not multi-coated but it performs the task of protecting the camera lens or camcorder against dust, moisture and scratches. The filter is great for removing the bluish effect that affects images shot from high altitudes and vast distances or over water. It does this by soaking up almost three quarters of the ultra violet rays. This filter which has a diameter of 62mm goes for $9.90. Unfortunately this filter has more cons than pros. The filter is made of poor quality glass which really damages the image quality. It does the good job of protecting your camera or camcorder’s lens against moisture and dust but it fails to help you get better pictures. At day you may get clearer pictures but at night you can be assured of ghosting and flaring. It would be wise to purchase a 77mm diameter filter coated on both sides. A company like Hoya makes multi coated filters. Their Hoya Pro1 specially stands out and it costs $11.42. There is also Sigma’s 62mm multi-coated UV filter which costs $22.49 and B+W’s UV haze with multi resistant coating which goes for $34.25. Tiffen’s filters are only good when you capture images in relatively low lighting (with the exception of night time). If you shoot towards a light source, ghosting of the light source appears on the image. This is caused by the reflection bouncing off the lens back to the camera. This process is aided by the Tiffen filter. If the filter is removed reflection stops and pictures become suddenly clear. Some customers have also reported this filter breaking only after 3 months of use. The forward facing thread is very thick which adds a lot of thickness to the thin lens. When shopping for a filter, it is wise to buy a filter that is multi-coated/anti-glare as they don’t cause reflection, ghosting or even flaring or go for a circular polarized filter. These kinds of filters may be expensive than the Tiffen filter but they are definitely worth it. Pictures engrave memories that one will live to remember for the rest of their lives and as such they ought to be of high quality something that Tiffen filters fails to deliver on. Tiffen’s filters may be greatly priced than their aforementioned counterparts but they don’t do what great filters are meant to do.

I bought this for a 55mm lens as basic front element protection. It threaded on smoothly, sits nice and slim, and I haven’t noticed any obvious image degradation in normal shooting. The glass looks clear, and the ring feels solid for the price. If you want a simple, name brand UV/protection filter that doesn’t add a lot of bulk, this one does the job.

Si bien no es el mejor filtro del mundo, hay que decir que es un filtro bueno que cumple con su cometido y a un precio económico. El envío fue rápido.

Veio sujo mas ok

Ottimo filtro di protezione; esso è un UV, cioè impedisce il passaggio dei raggi ultravioletti che al mare o in montagna possono generare una leggera dominante azzurrino/fredda, e serve anche a proteggere la lente frontale delle preziose ottiche aventi filettatura frontale di 43mm. Il marchio Tiffen, da decenni sul mercato, è garanzia di qualità; ottimo il trattamento antiriflessi multistrato. Ultima nota positiva, il filtro appartiene alla famiglia "slim", vale a dire che ha un telaio molto sottile in altezza; in tal modo non dà alcun problema di vignettatura anche se usato su grandangolari abbastanza spinti, quale, come nel mio caso, un 24mm. Saluto Paolo

Mycket prisvärt fotofilter ifrån den kvalitetserkända tillverkaren Tiffen. Tiffen blev berömda för sitt stora sortiment av vanliga och specialfilter utvecklade för proffsfotografers behov när man fotograferade med analoga 35-mm kameror. Tiffens kvalitet på fotofilter brukar vara jämställt eller likvärdigt med tillverkaren B & W .s filter, men kostar ca. 50 % mindre.

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.
