Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this filter fit a nikon 85mm?shan x : Nikon 85mm 1.8 g using 65mm filter, 85mm 1.4g using 77mm filter. So this 72mm filter cannot be used on 85mm lenses. I am using my 72mm filter on 18-200 zoom lens.DMITRY S : No this filter has thread 72mm diameter and it does not fit to lenses that have thread 85 mm diameter.
Robert N : I have a AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR II Lens.Not sure which filter to go with? Hoya 72mm EVO UV Filter or Nikon 72mm NC Neutral Clear Filter? Most shots will be in mtn settings and some indoor pictures.JOYCE E : I love the Nikon lenses & filters.....I have the neutral clear filter ....it protects the lens & also gives uv protection.JOHN S : I have had this filter on my 18-200mm lens since I purchased it last year. It stays on the lens (except when I put on a polarizer) and protects it. My camera goes where I go, hence I really need the protection. It's been to Arches last year (dust, grit, and rocks), and to Yellowstone last month(snow, ice, and COLD). I went with the Nikon filter since most of my lens are Nikon (with a few Sigmas) and I figured that the Nikon engineers would know best. And it wasn't that expensive. I can't say too much more about the filter because I don't pay that much attention to it. By my way of thinking this says that it is doing exactly what it is supposed to do.PETER C : Hoya UV Filters seem to be particularly better at blocking UV than most., especially with your mountain shots.STEVEN W : Either one will be fine. Digital cameras have UV filtration built in, so the UV filter is superfluous. If you think you need it to cut down on haze in the mountains, then the UV may be a better choice for you.Joseph V : I cannot speak as to the Hoya lens, but I bought the Nikon filter for the same lens you have, and it works very well.
Shopper : Does this filter fit a cannon 18-135 lenes?GEORGE C : You'll have to check the thread size on the front of the Canon lens.shan x : the canon 18-135mm lens needs 67mm filter. the 72mm filter will not fit directly on this lens.DMITRY S : No it does notPETER C : I believe the Canon 18-135 lens has a 67mm thread to accept filters. You would need a step up adapter ( 67mm to 72mm) to use it.

Add multi-coating to a budget lens

I bought this to serve as the "front element" for my new NIKKOR Z 40mm f/2 lens since the lens lacks any type of coating. I bought the lens when it was on sale so it was a no-brainer adding the filter just to make it easier to clean. I made sure I had the filter on the lens before testing it just to avoid any dust. The filter fits perfectly and doesn't add much bulk or weight.

Gets stuck on lenses and on hoods.

I have never, not once, EVER had a B+W filter get stuck on a lens nor a screw-in hood. But this one gets stuck all the time. I literally cannot get it off of a hood at the present moment. i use clear filters on every single lens and I'm a full-time photographer - I can say definitively that this is not machined to the tolerances that B+W filters are. I haven't tried other brands so can't speak for them. optical performance seems fine but I feel like that is the bare minimum for a clear filter.

A Superb clear protective filter!

The Nikon 95mm NC Neutral Clear Filter was purchased for the Nikkor Z 180-600 f/5.6-6.3 telephoto zoom lens. The filter easily screws onto the filter threads, and performs exactly as described. The image quality, i.e, sharpness and detail obtained is superb, as the filter has no negative effect on the image. I highly recommend the Nikon 95mm NC Neutral Clear Filter.

Worth the investment - Nikon 82mm NC Neutral Clear Filter

Great quality genuine Nikon OEM product. So far so good for lens glass protection. No degradation of image quality. Would recommend as good value for cost. A someone new to Nikon, I typically purchase 1st party accessories when available. This purchase was no exception and no regrets.

Nikon makes first rate filters, though they can be pricey. This one is reasonably priced, and I've purchased it in several sizes already.

Nikon 77mm filter

I wanted to put Nikon glass on my Nikon lens. It was shipped very quickly and was installed on my new lens. The filter fit perfectly and will be used as my first line of defense for the expensive lens. Glass on filter was clear and pure with no distortion.

Keep the Front Element Free From Scratches

As always Nikon's clear filter is as advertised...clear. I do lots of sports photography and sometimes I have to wipe grime from the front element and don't always have a perfectly clean microfiber cloth. With this filter, I can use my shirt of whatever and not have to worry about scratching the front element and being without it while Nikon repairs it.

Great for lens protection.

I use this clear filter to protect my lens, especially while mountain biking. I already broke one in a mountain bike crash, and it was a lot cheaper to replace this filter, compared to a replacing a Nikon lens.

Great for protection.

This is my protection for 500mm lens. It is great to have as protection, as I already broke another clear filter for a 70-300mm when I crashed my mountain bike. I highly recommend one for all expensive lenses, especially if you ride too fast for trail conditions.

Another Great Nikon Filter

As with all Nikon filters I have bought over the years the quality was Excellant and it fit on my lens with no problem. I can?t say that with most of the off brand filters I have also bought i the past. You can always count on Nikon filters as working and fitting as they should.

Pricey But Excellent Lens Protector

Use these for lens protectors since they have zero effect on images. The are a bit expensive but are durable with good threads and just get moved from lens to lens making a worthwhile investment.

Solid lens protection,

Nikon 72mm NC Neutral Clear Filter does a great job protecting my Nikon Z 24mm lens. It would be a shame to damage a lens when protection is available at a good price. Shipped fast too! Best of all it does NOT change image quality.

Excellent protection

They do as claimed. I use one on all of my lens. I shoot in environments where I deal with a lot of mud, dirt, dust and water spray and have found these filters to work great as a sacrificial lens.

Excellent filter for Nikkor lenses

By AleksGQ

I'm a nature photographer, and some times the colors change in the picture when an UV filter is used (flowers, the sky, etc)... Sometimes I want that doesn't happen, so I bought this filter. This is an excellent filter for genuine Nikon lenses. I'm happy with the purchase because it fits with my AF-S Nikkor 18-105mm DX lens. This Nikon filter is very clear and I haven't noticed any difference in overall picture quality. In addition, it's a very good protection for my lenses. Keep in mind that...
