Awesome filter.

I use this on my Olympus Pen E-PL9. I have been using it for a few years now, the dust and weather resistance is very good. Water just beads up and rolls off.

High quality, well-made filter!

This is a high quality, well-made filter! The retaining ring for the filter glass is on the side that screws into the lens, which is nice because it adds an extra layer of security just in case the filter retaining ring loosens.
