This is a quality glass filter I keep on my lens for protection but also to add warm tones. It really brightens shadows and skin tones. Heliopan's quality is worth the extra cost.

I use these filters to protect both my Canon 70-200 F2.8 II IS lens as well as my 24-70 F2.8. They work very well at protecting the lenses from scratches. If you spend your hard earned money on top of the line lenses then don't skimp on a cheap filter to protect them. Spend a bit more and enjoy quaility all around.
