On the fence about filter on my 2 lenses

Comments about Canon Canon 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

I'm on the fence about this filter. If there's any trace of flare then it seems to be strongly magnified with the filter. Without filter I was able to see better results in image on Canon 5DMKII. This was using both 85, f1.8 and 50mm f1.4 lenses. Maybe a hood would have solved issue but these lenses didn't come with hoods and I haven't bought and tested with hood yet.

Comments about Canon Canon 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

I don't consider myself qualified to comment on the quality of filtering/color correction (though I'm very pleased with my shots), since the reason I purchased this filter was for lens protection. And it works exceptionally well! The quality is great, and the filter protects my lens from dust and scratches (it's much easier to replace a filter than a lens). The camera cap fits perfectly, too. No complaints here, and I'm sure it's helping my color and UV exposure -- if I only knew enough to be able to tell! *wink*

Comments about Canon Canon 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

When using high-end Canon EOS camera bodies and Canon "L" lenses, I prefer to use Canon accessories. The fit is perfect and Canon glass has been proven to be some of the best available. Never use a lens without protecting it with high quailty filter.

I got an actual Canon filter for my Canon lens to be sure the lens cap would fit (which it does). I've had trouble in the past with off-brand filters that the original camera lens cap did not "like."

Comments about Canon Canon 58mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

I had been putting this purchase off ever since I was given my Canon for Christmas two years ago. I will be taking this camera with me along with my new digital to a trip to Alaska and my husband will be using the Canon. I need this filter and when I researched companies to purchase from, this company stood out. I received my item in perfect condtion and in a timely manner. Thank You. I feel better about being out there and using my Canon.

It's an Outstanding Filter!
