FAQ
What is the main function of the Vivitar VIVMCUV55 Multi-Coated UV Glass Filter?
The primary function of this filter is to block ultraviolet rays, reducing haze and preventing a bluish cast in photos. It also serves to protect your lens from dust, scratches, and moisture.
Can I use this UV filter with other filters?
Yes, the Vivitar VIVMCUV55 UV Glass Filter has a slim profile, making it suitable to be stacked with other filters without causing vignetting.
Does the UV filter affect the color balance or overall image quality?
No, the UV filter does not affect the color balance of your photos. It enhances image quality by ensuring superior light transmission, resulting in sharper images with greater contrast.
How does the Vivitar VIVMCUV55 UV Glass Filter attach to my lens?
The filter features precision-engineered threading for smooth and secure attachment to your lens.
Is this filter suitable for both professional photographers and enthusiasts?
Absolutely. The Vivitar VIVMCUV55 UV Glass Filter is a reliable choice for any photographer, professional or enthusiast, looking to protect their lens and enhance photo clarity.
WALTER B : How do I know which filter will fit my lens?
I have a Sigma 50-200mm.ANDREW M : Check your lens cap or front of the lens, it should have something like "67" or "67mm" and then a symbol that looks like an O with a line through itANDREW R : Filter fit is by the thread diameter. This particular filter fits 55mm diameter filter threads. To find out which size you need, the easiest way is to look on the back of the lens cap for your lens. The diameter should be printed there.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MICHAEL H : I want to protect my lens and the multi-coated seems to be the better choice. I'm not too concerned about 'interference' in image quality. Most reviews suggest that 'interference' or 'color shift' is not that big an issue for the average photographer. I'm more concerned about protecting the front of my lens against moisture, blowing sand and abrasions when cleaning over time.DENNIS C : Inexpensive quality brandJessica C : to protect front lens elementTERRY H : Trusted name at a good price.CHARLES V : Low cost good choice brand for lens protection.

For The Price - A Great Little Glass Filter...
I got this for my 18-150 lens and the filter threaded on easily. I use it for the extra protection of the lens, mostly from dirt, fingerprints etc. It's easy to clean. If you have a lens with a 55mm filter threading then I'd recommend this both for price and the fact it is a glass filter not a resin. UV back in the day when I did film photography was important, today not so much if at all, so the UV aspect is not, to me, important.

Works as expected.
Had some flare but I?m not sure whether the filter contributed or it?s the lens. Need to do more tests.

Fine UV filter
Works as expected. For the price, the quality is quite nice. It is just a simple UV filter, and I don't notice any optical impact, but I am not as discerning an eye as some. I just wanted to add some protection to a pancake lens (yes I am that type of uv filter person) with no lens hood and I feel that this suits the job

I bought mine as a lens protector, and it does cut down on UV light reaching the image sensor or film.
I use mine as a lens protector. Optically fine as well.

High Qualty looking filter
I have not used this filter hence few stars. Like the way it looks crisp machining good anodizing legible text on its sides.

Life at the 72mm Objective End
When you live on the objective end of a 180mm f3.5 1:1 macro lens in the wilds of nature, life is tough. You must be optically flat, colorless, stay out of the picture, and keep the subject matter out of the lens. This filter does it all, and at for a modest price.

Awesome!
I needed a new protective filter as my other one was damaged. This arrived super fast and it works great! It is actually multi-coated more than the previous one. My photos are looking better. All this for a great price! Thank you, Adorama!!

Fast focus, great image quality and zoom range
Still lots to learn about using this camera, but I love the fast autofocusing and image quality. An unexpected plus is that the zoom range can be significantly increased by using the Clear Image Zoom feature. I’m having much more success using instructional videos I find on the Internet than Sony’s downloadable manuals.

Surprisingly good.
I've had bad experiences with telephotos and wide angles from Vivitar. However, seems to fit well, and no distortion. Of course, this is a far less complicated device!

Lens Protection
I have had my Canon for several years without a filter, and in reading about the benefits of a UV filter, I decided to invest in one. I haven’t noticed any difference in the picture quality but appreciate that it protects the lens. Thanks Adorama for the info on your site about UV filters.
