Tiffen Haze 1 58 mm Round UV Filter

Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.Haze 1 reduces excessive blue haze caused by UV light by absorbing 71% of UV. It's great for all-around UV control. This filter eliminates UV problems from most situations where increased haze tends to wash out color and image clarity. more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-19-2008; So-so; The only thing this filter is good for is protecting the lens from physical damage (dust, prints, scratches, water spots, etc.) Some say that cheap Tiffen filters degrade the quality of the images, but I haven't noticed any degradation....; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-09-2008; Simple UV Protector; It's just a protection filter. It's does a good work by day though it can create weird flares by night if you are trying to picture below a bright light or if there's one pointing towards you.It also has a weird glass finish in the edges...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-04-2008; can't beat it for the price; I basically use these more to protect the lens and have never really taken enough photographs without one to know if they make a difference. These can be considered as very inexpensively priced insurance items for your much more...; read full review | report as inappropriate

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Nov-02-2008; Tiffen Circular Polarizer - This Rocks; I went to my local camera shop looking for a filter that would give me the deep blue skies and the nice green landscapes. The 58mm Tiffen was the recommendation but the costs was $70 and that was a bit more than I really wanted to...; read full review | report as inappropriate
