A Top Product Recommended by Pro's! May 2008

Thru the years, I have used UV filters on all of my photo equipment, including my newest Digital Canon, (READ my Review) for the following reasons, which may help you in several ways:
The Canon UV-1 58mm Haze filter -
* A 'Physical Protection barrier' for the front element of the lens. (Probably the Most
Important Reason), and here's Why:
* Protecting the Front Lens unique "Chromatic Coating". This 'coating' is what separates all
lenses, if the Glass is all equal, even within the same manufacturer, into categories from a
Good lens, all the way to a Superior one. Example - Minolta's Celtic vs Rokkor lenses
* Protection from dirt, dust, abrasions, and moisture. (The front lens is where all light &
images come thorough, that's recorded on film or microchip, so any Lens scratches,
abrasions, or smudges, all get recorded too). This ALSO keeps you from Damaging the
Chromatic Lens Coating!
* Easy Screw-in type, Easy to Change & Easy to Clean. That's 3 Easy's, People!
* Produce a very subtle 'Warming Effect', useful to counter the "Cooler" SHIFT and/or Colors
you sometimes get with some 'Lenses' or in bright sun or in shade. Example: Panasonic &
Pentex and some others have produced lenses with a 'Cool-Shift' lens coating and/or
microprocessor. - What this also means is that your Images will have to be 'Hue Corrected'.
* Very affordable with Excellent Benefit's. I usually buy in Pairs, so that I might have a spare,
just in case, and all pro photographers, bank on it. Just part of the 'must-have add-on's'.
Hazeing 2008-04-24
It appears that I received exactly what I thought I purchased. I trust I purchased a genuine Cananon UV-1 58mm Haze Filter and as such I am very satisfied with the purchase and the vendor.
Poor quality workmanship 
2008-03-30
For the price I guess it's ok but not 2 days after I put it on my camera the glass came loose and started vibrating in the frame. It's very light and thin and will probably break easily.
Good Glass 2008-03-10
Why put a $10 piece of glass in front of your $500 lens? When ever I put anything between the lens and the subject I always make sure that it is of the same quality of the lens or better. Canon lens, Canon filter.

58mm Haze UV-1
Canon UV-1 58mm Haze Filter 2008-02-25
This is an inexpensive way to protect your expensive Canon lense. In addition it eliminates UV rays and filters the sun making the pictures clearer and with less glare. Highly recommend to any Canon Rebel users.
It did not fit the camera 
2008-02-19
This is made to fit the lens that go with my camera and not my actual camera lens.
CAN'T USE WITH CANON S5 IS! 2008-02-10
This product is tagged to be used with the Canon S5 IS...so I purchased it with the thought of saving my lens from wear and tear.
Upon receiving the filter (and the lens cap that I needed to buy to use with the filter), I found that it
A. Doesn't attach to the Canon S5 IS unless you have the optional adaptor
B. Needs a new lens cap since the camera's won't fit the filter
C. If you do use the optional adaptor and attach this filter, you get terrible pictures due to the odd light reflections.
I do not recommend this item if you intend to use it with the Canon S5 IS
Not good under low light conditions 
2008-02-08
I never take this filter off when shooting, even indoors. If you do the same, you might want to re-think that approach under low light conditions, indoors when using high ISO. This filter produces ghostly purple orbs in the pics under such conditions.
I own a 50mm, 1.4 canon lens and an XT. Both brand new and have no defects or problems.
Other than the problem mentioned above, the filter performs well outdoors during the day and well-lit indoors.
