 Good quality filter, works well.Jan 30, 2010
By Gary in Sun City, AZ
Have been using this on my new Canon XSi, and very happy with it. I agree with another reviewer who said, why put a cheap or inferior filter on that high quality and expensive lens that came with your camera? Spend a little more and get quality. The reviews on this filter are pretty good.

I bought one UV Filter cover for 24-55mm lens and then another one 55-200mm. I liked it. I do get good pictures with UV Filter.

great buy!Apr 20, 2010
By Mor and Tookie
I just bought this for my first SLR camera and have no complaints so far. I did my research and found this brand to be the best. The fact that it's multicoated and made of glass (not plastic) were two of the main things i was looking for.

 might not get what you thinkMar 03, 2012
By Boat Eggs
I ordered this filter form VIDEO CAMERA CENTER and got the UV(c) filter rather than the UV(0). This seems to be a common problem from most online sellers, not just VIDEO CAMERA CENTER, so I dont want this to reflect poorly on them in particular.
After some research, I found the Hoya catalog [hoyafilter.com/pdf/HOYACatalog.pdf (page 56)] and an explanation of the difference inn their filter grades (hoyafilter.com/products/hoya/coatings.html). The conclusion I have come to is that the UV(c) will let more light through (across the entire spectrum with an UV cutoff in shorter wavelength light) but reflects more light. From my understanding, UV waves don't have an effect in digital photography so I am okay with the lower UV blocking properties of the UV(c), but the higher reflection does bug me a little. Overall it a wash in my mind. I am using this as physical protection (not UV) on a Canon 55-250mm, not an expensive lens. If I was using this on the $1400 70-300mm L that I really wanted, I would return the filter for not being accurate.
Overall, I like this filter much more than the Tiffen (~$5 less) that I got for another lens and it is much easier to clean. If the difference between the UV(c) and UV(0) really has you worried, get a B&W, Marumi Super MC or Hoya Super HMC.
-1 star for not being exactly the right product, but as I stated, this seems to be a frequent problem and should be corrected.
