Jordan S : How did this item work for you? Was the image clear? Overall good impression?MARC B : We bought the filter to protect the lens in case the camera was dropped. It doesn't seem to have any affect on the quality of of the photos. I like it.BRIAN W : I purchased this filter last year and it works fine for me. Images shot with it are very clear, I would buy it again.ROBERT P : You should ALWAYS use a neutral filter like the UV filter questioned to protect your investment of the lens, dust sitting on a lens coating will etch into the coating over a period of time. If something inadvertently comes into contact with your lens I would rather it scratch the relatively inexpensive filter than my $1,500 lens.RAJESH K : Works. Didn't see anything wrong. Was clear.ROBERT P : I use the Vivatar UV filter in question to protect the lens from dust & scratches. I have over 20 yrs experience in Photography, there is no discernible color or sharpness difference with the filter mounted. I shoot predominately family/senior portraits & weddings.CORAL B : I personally think it's good for if you know you will be somewhere you need to protect the front of your lens, but I rarely have it on my lens because I get way to much flair. A little is good.. but this just kicks back way more than i like.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JAMES B : Trusted brand from prior use and low profile to minimize vignetting.ERNEST M : Dependable brand, quality productCHARLES H : Checked rating versus price and this seemed best.David K : Just wanted something to protect a large front lens. Vivitar has been around a long time - good quality - good price!DENNIS C : Inexpensive quality brandandy s : Used before, works well, good valueOTTO R : Good priceJessica C : to protect front lens element

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.

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.
