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

I received this filter as part of a package deal when I purchased a lens. I'd read reviews by other users that the filter does not accept their snap-on lens cap. I don't know if that fact was added to the product description before or after these users complained, but I saw it clearly indicated on the filter description. [...] turns out that it's a special, low-profile filter for wide-angle lenses. In any case, all that's required is a special, slip-on lens cap. No problem.

I should have read the reviews before I bought... but then again, Adorama "told me" it was a match for the Nikon 18-200 I was buying, so I figured it was a safe bet. I'll be seeing if I can return it in exchange for something else. I'm sure it's a good piece of glass, but it's too shallow to properly fit my Nikon lens cap.

Nice deal

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

It is much cheaper to replace a filter then a lens. So why not use a great filter to do this.

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

Use this on my wide angle lens. I had this same filter and dropped my camera. The filter broke but the lens and camera were fine. The downside of this filter is that my lens cap won't stay on with this filter. I use a lens leash so don't lose the lens cap but it is annoying. Would recommend this to a friend with reservations because of this.

Good filter.

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

First wide angle filter. I believe that is why it has less threads on front.

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

I have used Tiffen filters for years and have never had a problem with them. They are the best affordable filters I know of.

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

Lens cap does not attach well (keeps falling off).

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

This is a good quality filter optically, but suffers from one major disadvantage: It doesn't have a threaded outer ring. hence, you can't attach the Nikon Lens cap to your lens if it has this filter on it. Not good.

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

There is not enough threading on filter for the lens cap to stay affixed.

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

The filter works well, but the canon Cap won't fit on this filter. I don't want to have to buy a special cap to fit. I have always used another brand and never had this issue.

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

This filter came in a kit with the lens I purchased. I use it mainly for protection. The only complaint that I have is that the ring is very thin so I have a hard time attaching my lens cap and keeping it attached.

Great for protecting my lens and filtering uv light, I mostly have used Tiffen filters for the past 38 years, they are well made .

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

can't use with lens cap. That's pretty beat. Otherwise fine.

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

so thin no lens caps will stay in place.

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

IF i use the filter the lense cover will not stay on!

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

Just what I wanted! Wide angle lense protection.

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

I was disapppointed that the recommended filter (thin) would not take the lens cap I bought at the same time from you with the lens.

I went out and bought a filter that would take the lens cap.

This is my second disappointment out of two orders with your company. Previously I ordered a filter for protection and got a polarizing filter instead. So I went elsewhere and bought another filter.

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

I bought this filter for use on a Nikon 18-200 general purpose zoom. It is more filter than is needed for that lens, as I found after purchase that it is extra thin and purpose designed for avoiding distortion at extreme wide angles. When mounted, it keeps me from using the Nikon Lens Cap that came with the lens. The external threads are so thin that the lens cap can't grip onto it. I bought a less expensive Hoya with thicker threads, and can't tell any difference in the photos from this lens, even at the 18mm position. Net, if you are a pro, and know what you need, go for it - it is extremely well made. But for us average bears just looking to protect a lens, it's overkill.

Stickly ued for Protection when using the Zuiko 11-22mm Wide Angle Zoom Lense. Lense cap will not attach to front of lense with this filter attached. Save your money.

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

The lens cap for my Nikon 18-200 doesn't fully sea in the filter.

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

Like this better than the more expensive filters. Found those harder to keep clean.

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

I found the for the Nikon D-40 the lens cap and the lens hood would not mount properly. Next time I will buy only Nikon filters.

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

Does not accept a standard Nikon lens cap. This should be noted in the product listing- especially when reccomended as a companionproduct to the Nikon 18-200 zoom lens!
