Questions & Answers

JAMES C. S : Will this filter or another size filter by Tiffen, fit on my Sony 18-135 OSS lens, for a Sony A 6000 camera?LINNEA M : Each lens has a different size, whether Sony, Canon, Nikon or another brand. First you have to look at your lens to see if there are grooves which will allow you to screw on filters. If there are, then look on the lens itself to see what size filter you need. Often this information is printed on the bezel around the glass lens itself, but I've also seen it on the hood. Sometimes you have to go to the lens manufacturer's website or look in the manual to see what the specifications are. Once you know what size you need (always in millimeters), you can order any filter in that size and screw it on.SUZANNE L : A 55mm should fit your kens

Tiffen filters--a family tradition.

It's a family tradition--Tiffen filters. First thing I put on a lens is a UV filter (latest 80-400 Nikon). Images have been clear & sharp with the filter in use. Good quality reliable filter that I use for lens protection. My inherited Rolleiflex twin lens has a full complement of Tiffen filters.

Is what it is

4 starts because I received a 77mm instead of 82 as ordered. I decided to keep it and use on a different lens. Seems fine for what it is.

As with a real friend, a UV filter is there.

This Tiffen UV filter no only provides general protection from dust, rain, scratches, finger prints and others hazards, it also reduces the bluish cast of daylight and helps to absorb ultraviolet light. I recommend UV filters.

Good protection

Good option to protect a camera lens. Unfortunately it did not match the lens I purchased at the same time. So I haven't been able to use it yet.

Protective Tiffen Filter - great protection for g70 lens...

Threaded on smoothly onto my g70 lens. Then I put hood on, fit perfectly. I use it as added protection for the lens. Tiffen filters are great products.

Perfectly Fine, Cheap UV Filter

Decent quality, cheap UV filter. Used exclusively for keeping a cap off my 67 mm lenses when I'm walking around and don't have another filter on.

By CantonGuy

Actually, I did not use this particular filter yet. But I used other Tiffen filters before. I am expecting a similar quality. I am yet to discover any specific cons.

Would buy this product again

Lens protection is worth every penny you spend on it.

With the Tiffen 55mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter, safeguard your camera or camcorder lens with confidence. This high-quality, durable filter acts as a shield against the common adversaries of lens integrity: dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches. Its robust construction ensures that your lens remains unscathed from the rigors of frequent use and cleaning, allowing you to capture images with clarity and precision.

Crafted to absorb Ultra Violet (UV) light, the Tiffen UV Glass Filter is an essential tool for photographers aiming to eliminate the haze and bluish cast that often plagues photographs taken at high altitudes or across vast distances, such as over water. This UV protection is particularly beneficial for film, which is more sensitive to UV light than the human eye, ensuring that your captured images reflect true-to-life colors and contrast.

The versatility of the Tiffen UV Filter is unmatched; it is designed to have no effect on normal light, maintaining the natural color and contrast of your scenes. This allows the filter to remain on your lens at all times, serving as a permanent protective barrier without impacting your image quality.

Tiffen's range of UV filters caters to various photographic needs and preferences, including the standard UV Filter for popular protection, the UV MC with multi-coating for additional flare resistance, and the UV Warm, which combines UV filtering with the warming effect of Tiffen's '812' filter. For those shooting in environments with significant UV light, the Haze series offers varying levels of absorption, from 75% with the Haze 1 to almost complete absorption with the Haze 17.

For photographers utilizing wide-angle lenses, the UV Wide Angle Thin filter is specifically designed to accommodate the unique requirements of wide-angle photography without vignetting.

Embrace the reliability and effectiveness of the Tiffen 55mm UV Glass Filter to enhance your photography experience. Whether you're a professional or an enthusiast, this filter is a versatile addition to your gear, providing peace of mind and improved image quality with every shot.
