These filters absorb Ultra Violet (UV) light. Film is more sensitive to Ultra Violet light than our eyes. This often shows up as a haze or a bluish cast, especially when shot from high altitudes and from long distances, particularly over water.   UV filters also help protect your lens from dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches and damage from cleaning.  Since they absorb no normal light and have no effect on color or contrast, they can be kept on your lens at all times.  Tiffen Ultra Violet filters are available in a variety of absorbtion levels and sizes.   UV filter ---------- Standard UV. Most popular protection filter. UV MC -------------- Multi coated for extra flare protection. UV Warm ------------ Combines UV with Tiffen's '812' warming filter.  Haze 1 ------------- Absorbs 75% of UV light. Haze 2 --------------Absorbs 100% of UV light. Haze 15--------------Absorbs 81% of UV light. Haze 16--------------Absorbs 86.5% of UV light Haze 17 ------------ Absorbs almost all UV light.  UV Wide Angle Thin - UV filter for use with wide angle lenses.

Great for the price. Put it on RF 100-400 mm lens and definitely cleared up the haze

Great for the price

Lacking quality

I shoot at 5000' to 14,000' in the central Rockies. One of the problems at these altitudes is the hard UV and atmospheric haze that develops sometimes. I have used this filter for many years with great success. The filter was originally designed for use in aerial photography (shooting through long atmospheric paths through haze at altitude). It has a sharp cutoff at ~400nm rather than at ~360 or 370nm. Thus blocking the longer wavelength UV. This makes the filter ideal for high altitude pix. I would suggest it for anyone shooting in the mountains. I use it as an all-round UV and protective filter on most of my lenses.

Cuts through mountain haze

The main thing it protects my lens  and makes my colors more vivid.   When I need all the light I can get through my lens it doesn't interfere with my f-stop.

I love it.

Very effective haze-cutting, provides lens protection. Performs exactly as I expect Tiffen filters to perform, I've used them for over fifty years.

It's a Tiffen

Cuts haze well, this stays on my lens for protection. I live in an upland valley, so haze is a constant problem.

Good product

Cuts haze well. It's a permanent fixture on my lens.

used as protection on a 250mm Mamiya TLR lens...

haze cutting protector

As most of you do, I use the UV filter to protect my lenses. With the Tiffen Filters I get not only protection, but flawless pictures. They give me the value for my money.

Great filter

Comfort Product

A fine product at a reasonable price.

I've been doing this for 40 or so years and Tiffen is my first choice....(I got other brands too)

Well it IS a Tiffen

Great Filter

Feb 2010 - ordered 2 identical filters and a new Canon lense; already have a Canon lense that needed a filter too. One of the Tiffen filters fit both lenses, the other did not fit either one. First filter had classic metal finish; second had new non-glare powder coat finish and that 'thickened' the threads so it would not screw into the lense! Not even the brand new lense that I ordered with it.[...]Until this is acknowledged and fixed DO NOT BUY this filter. And who knows what other filters don't fit. Good luck.
