Customer reviews

good
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.

UV Filter
Gotta have a UV, protects the lens and ultraviolet light can be a pain plus you can't beat Canon glass!

Works good; some glare
It's great for protecting the front of your lens, but without any coatings it does tend to reflect some light.

Inexpensive lens protection
I purchased this filter to go with my Canon EF-S 60mm Macro lens. I'm very happy with my purchase. I know that some UV filters have been known to negatively affect photos (increasing vignetting, mostly), but I have not experienced that with this filter. It wasn't the cheapest choice, but it certainly wasn't the most expensive, either, and it seems to do its job well. Definitely worth the $11 I paid to protect my much more valuable lens!

Worth every penny, if...
This fileter does nothing special UNTIL you drop your camera lens. Then it suddenly becomes very cheap insurance.

I suppose it also is good for keeping smudges off your lens.
