Great Tiffen Consistency

2008-11-17
Bought this for my 18-55mm Nikon lens on my newly purchased D80 D-SLR. Threaded onto the flange nicely and is low profile enough to not interfere with wide angle shots. Element rotates smoothly but remains in place between shots and even during transport. Great filter, great quality, very affordable.

Great filter

Very good filter for blocking background movement. You capture just the object of your desire, but none of the things moving in the background. Also very good for reducing harsh sunlight entering the lens, if you have to take pictures during the middle of the day. I only gave it 4 stars because I have not used it very much, since I've just recently bought it.

Excelent quality and presentation.

Saved my Life!

I give it a 4 out 5 stars.
Pro: Cheap, does its job, easy to screw on/off.
Con: Annoying reflection.

It also saved my lens from destruction. My little cousin accidentally knocked down my tripod with my Nikon on it, and the next thing I know my filter is shattered and in a horrible condition. However, my lens was unharmed & good to go :)

Good product!

The Blue 47 is a dark blue filter that accentuates haze and fog. It can be used for dye transfer and contrast effects. Although originally intended for use with black and white film, this filter can also be used as a creative tool in color photography.

great product!

This filter works great for protecting your lenses. I purchased 3, and put one on each of my lenses!

Tiffen = Prophylactics for Lenses

2008-10-04
I have been using Tiffen products for some time now and I have never had a problem with any of them. I highly recommend this UV protection filter if you are planning on keeping your lens safe for years to come.

During a visit to Chicago, IL a few weeks ago I had forgotten to replace my lens cap on my Canon 24-70mm EF-S Lens after taking some shots while riding the water taxi. When I got off and was walking around Navy Pier, I nailed the front of my lens on something and it scratched the filter to hell and back. It is easier (physically and financially) to replace the filter than it is to replace the glass in a $1300 lens.

Does the job at a great price

I got this UV filter to use with my Nikon D40. There isn't much to it to make it malfunction - it's a piece of glass mounted on a 52mm-threaded ring.

If I look at the filter from and angle, I can see a strange pattern of sorts on the glass, but this doesn't seem to affect my photos.

Thanks Amazon for the great price ($6.99) and fast shipping (placed order Sunday; order wasn't shipped until Friday, but arrived on Saturday).

	Sony Cybershot DSCS90 4.1 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom Review: "This Camera is one of the best in its price range. It takes beautiful clear pictures and can be used right out of the box, but its worth learning all its features. The included memory holds about 20-25 pictures so I upgraded to 128mb. I reccomend getting a 128mb card and the Sony camera case. Not only is this one of the best cameras in its class it includes decent software and rechargeable batteries that are at least a 20$ value. HIGHLY reccomend over canon,kodak, and fuji. One more thing this camera has CARL Zeiss lens (if you dont know, great lens) all the competetors have generic lens."

A couple of digital photography experts weigh the advantages and disadvantages of film vs. digital photography, and explain the basics underlying both types of photography.

From the Back Cover The megapixel hype
The fact is a camera’s megapixel rating is only a measure of how many pixels (photosensitive sites) an image sensor has…. An image sensor is simply one component of an entire system that produces a digital photograph… So resist buying into the megapixel hype when you’re choosing a digital camera. From Chapter 1
