Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tiffen 72mm UV Protection Filter
Customer Review: poor build quality, even worse performance
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered two of these to protect two new Nikon lenses. Unfortunately the lenses were backordered and arrived so late that I never thought to test these filters out, now I can't return them. :(
Price: Excellent
Build Quality: Poor! The glass in both my filters slides around as if it's too small for the threaded metal ring.
Image Quality: OK in even, soft lighting; Poor in the presence of any strong light source. Both produce green ghost images when shooting in bright natural light or strong light source in dark room (e.g. birthday candles).
Verdict: If you've got a lens worth protecting, you surely want good images from it, too. Do yourself a favor, spend a couple bucks more and get a better filter. I ended up with a $15 Quantaray UV filter and get no ghosts when shooting in similar conditions.
Description of Tiffen 72mm UV Protection 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.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. These filters can be kept on the camera at all times.
