Get the Hoya

2008-01-12
I got this filter based on the reviews here to protect my Nikkor 18-200. I feel disappointed with this filter for 2 reasons: (1) it came with light scratches (obviously used), (2) it produces internal reflections (it is not multicoated) -- when pointed at the light, a strong flare develops. (From what I read about coatings, multicoated filters produce a green reflection of a light source, filters with few coatings produce a faint reflection and uncoated filters have a bright reflection -- this filter shows a pretty distinct reflection that is not green). I returned this filter and got a Hoya 72mm UV HMC filter. Much better. Occasional flare can be seen (I guess this is the price of protecting your lens), but it is *significantly* better than the Canon filter. My recommendation is to get the Hoya filter for a little more - it is worth it. (One drawback of the Hoya was it was much more difficult to screw onto the lens.) Happy picture taking.

works as it should

I bought this filter because it was one of the cheaper options, and because I didn't see much need shelling out a bunch of money for a UV filter. This canon filter does everything I expected it to (i.e.: protect my lens). It is also a perfect fit on my sigma 18-200 lens.

I'd definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a cheap but high quality UV filter.

Good for the price

This filter is good for the price and made by Canon. It fits my lens very well and the lens cover fits over it perfectly and doesn't fall off.
It's a great buy. I also received it one day before it was scheduled to arrive!

If you want a NICE UV/Haze filter, you'll need to spend some money. This $17 filter is not worth the materials used to build it. Sadly, the only Canon UV/Haze filter that's ever proved to be a winner is the L39 Sharp Cut versions which I've only seen in 77mm. This is junk.

Canon Filter Review

This filter is not only recommended, it is needed by any of you that has a DSLR camera + Lens. It won't make your photos much better, that depends on your composition and lighting, but it will protect your very expensive lens. DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT ever use your expensive lens without this filter on it - better to scratch the inexpensive filter than your lens.
Now repeat this a few times: Put filter on lens, put filter on lens.
Happy Shooting!

I am a beginner in photography and I am aware of the debate about using a filter and not using a filter. I chose to use one to protect my lens although it seems a little expensive for what it is. This filter is easy to install on the lens and remove for cleaning. It is working as I expected it to.

This filter is a must to have in your accessory bag! It works wonders with the color images and making them as vibrant as they are intended to be!

Canon 72mm UV Haze filter review

Nicely made filter. No problems with glass to metal mating, or threads. We're using it on a Sigma 18mm-200mm optically stablized lens. I'd recommend it to anyone needing such a filter.

Great buy, sturdy and durable lens cover

I have had this lens cover for almost a year now, and it has not failed me since. The frame of the lens is made of rigid metal, and the lens is made out of some firm glass. The lens cover screws onto my Canon lens with no problem, and I would expect the same for any other type of lens other than Canon. Overall excellent quality and great durablity.

ok for the price

i've bought this one for my canon 200mm f/2.8L II ...
althought sharpness has not suffered.. flare has ... which buggs me alot..
i also would like to point out that when i took the filter out of its package.. it had smears and oily smudges on it... and that really pissed me off.. if some one is to smear my filter .. it should be MEEE
kinda disappointed with it..
when it comes to optics.. you get what you pay for is a safe assumption..

	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
