Tiffen 4.5" UV 17 Filter

Under the umbrella of high-quality camera accessories, our 4.5" UV 17 Filter stands out as a crucial tool for photographers aiming to capture clear, haze-free images. This filter is specifically designed to absorb Ultra Violet (UV) light, a type of light that film is more sensitive to than the human eye. The presence of UV light can often result in a haze or a bluish cast in your photos, especially when shooting from high altitudes or over long distances, particularly over water bodies.

Our UV 17 Filter not only enhances your photography by reducing the impact of UV light but also serves as a protective shield for your lens. It helps safeguard your lens against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and potential damage from cleaning, thereby extending the lifespan of your equipment.

One of the key features of this UV filter is that it does not absorb normal light, ensuring no effect on the color or contrast of your images. This means you can keep the filter on your lens at all times without worrying about any negative impact on your photography.

The Tiffen UV 17 Filter is part of a comprehensive range of UV filters we offer, each with different absorption levels and sizes. This specific filter absorbs 97% of UV light, making it an excellent choice for photographers looking to significantly reduce UV interference in their shots.

We also offer a variety of other filters including the standard UV, the most popular protection filter, and the UV MC, which is multi-coated for extra flare protection. For those looking to combine UV protection with a warming effect, we have the UV Warm filter that combines UV absorption with Tiffen's '812' warming filter. Our range also includes the Haze series of filters that absorb varying percentages of UV light, and the UV Wide Angle Thin filter, designed specifically for use with wide-angle lenses.

In conclusion, our 4.5" UV 17 Filter is a versatile, protective, and quality-enhancing accessory that every photographer should consider adding to their toolkit.
