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

You do get what you pay for and I really only purchased the filter for protection purposes so the price was certainly right!! I bought a camera case that had a perk of a Canon filter included, and it is a much nicer fit on the lens--attaches very nicely/smoothly. For future purchases I will probably stick with Canon, but for the money it was a good little purchase for the purpose!

I would buy this product again

This is a good filter for the job. It's UV protection and lens protection at the same time. I needed it more for lens protection as I'm prone to bumping the lens myself and I'm prone to being bumped during sports shots.

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

I have a number of these. I bought the last 2 for a 50mm and an 85mm prime lenses. These will work on most lenses, but would not recommend this brand for a Canon 10-22mm lens or a Canon 17-55mm lens. I bought these and the lens caps would not fit properly. I replaced them with Canon's sharp cut filters and that solved the problem.
