Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

I have UV-Filter or Polarizers on all my lenses all the time for protection. I also use Hoya's and B&W's but I cannot tell a difference in Image Quality between any of them. The only big difference is in the savings you get by buying Tiffen-filters!

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

Very good UV filter, but doesn't fit the Canon lens cover all that well. I've even considered pulling the filter off the (Canon 180/3.5L Macro) lens whenever the lens is not in use. The lenscap seems to just try and pop off too often.

Maybe I got a bad copy of the filter, as I really like the Tiffen brand, but I'm not as satisfied with this one as I have been on all my other Tiffen purchases in the past.

Lens cap won't grip this filter.

Comments about Tiffen Tiffen 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter:

This filter would be just fine if I didn't want to use a lens cap over it. There are no internal threads for the cap to grip. And forget about stacking another filter over it (not a good idea anyway).
