 Easier to Clean and Replace Than Your Front Element May 10, 2006
48 out of 53 found this review helpful
I never take my UV filter off of my lens unless I am going to immediately put on a different filter. There are basically two camps out there, those that feel you should always use a UV filter to protect your lens from dirt and scratches and those that feel it is a waste of time and only degrades your image. Well, I tried going without one for awhile and then dirt started to build up on the front element of my very expense lens. And although you can clean the front element of a lens, I feel much, much safer wiping my comparatively cheap UV filter time and time again rather than chancing any actual lens damage. I think for the nearly unquantifiable loss in image quality you may suffer by having a UV filter on, it is well worth the extra piece of mind it gives me.
 Cheap, works and protects your lens December 22, 2006

Buy this filter, it is cheap, and keep it on all the time. It protects your lens from dust and dirt. If you do not have an L-series lens that is sealed this will protect your investment.
Quality filter at a good price April 20, 2007

It's been said many times, but you need to protect your lens. I haven't noticed any loss in image quality with this filter and whether you have purchased an entry level lens or an L-series you still need to get a UV filter. It will protect the glass from scratches and when it comes time to clean off smudges you won't have to touch the highly priced lens, just the filter. This filter has the Canon name and that means quality.
 Get the Hoya January 12, 2008
6 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.

In addition to excellent haze filtering, this lens will protect your camera lens from external scratches and dirt. What a small price to pay to protect your Canon IS or L lens.
