Questions & Answers

Shopper : Why would I buy UV - 17 as opposed to the standard or basic filter?DAVID C : UV filtering will aid the color rendition in your photos.FISCAL O : Yes. UV is a great general filter that will help cut color casting from UV rays. Standard glass filters used only for protection, offer nothing other than that. In that case, if you are very careful, I'd recommend going filterless if that 'pure' and 'raw' look is what you're going for. With all that said, a UV filter is not going to ever cause a DRASTIC effect in the overall image, it is really a very minimal effect that shows up in the final image.L H : The technical difference is how much UV the filter blocks. The standard filter blocks about 50% of UV while the UV-17 filter blocks about 97%. The next step up is UV-2A which blocks almost 100%. In addition, the standard filter does not do much for atmospheric haze. The effect of too much UV (and how much is too much depends on what you're trying to accomplish with the shot) is that it shifts the color balance of the image towards blue -- especially if you're shooting in mountains or in areas with lots of reflected light like snow, beach/water, and architectural exteriors where there's lots of glass around. Your eye won't see this shift, but the your film or sensor will. The primary effect of haze (again, depends -- you may want the effect) is to reduce detail in the scene. Haze is caused by dust particles in the air scattering the light, but haze can also affect color balance because the UV and blue is scattered more than greens and reds. If you decide to go with the standard filter, you can use a polarizer to improve contrast for a hazy scene -- doesn't punch through the haze, but better than nothing.FRANK S : I use the filter a great deal. It definately cuts the haze. Since I take the majority of my outdoor shots on and around water I use a polarizing filter more frequently. Both have the added ability to protect your lens from damage which is no small matter. Frank

Surprising

I was surprised at the difference between a standard haze filter and this one. It made a really big difference in my landscape work.

Explore the world of photography with the 67mm UV-17 Haze-17 (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter. This high-quality filter is 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, such as over bodies of water.

The 67mm UV-17 Haze-17 Glass Filter not only enhances your photography by reducing UV light interference, but it also serves as a protective shield for your lens. It safeguards your valuable equipment from dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches, as well as potential damage from cleaning.

One of the key features of this UV filter is that it does not absorb normal light, meaning it has no impact on the color or contrast of your images. This makes it a versatile addition to your camera gear, as it can be left on your lens at all times without affecting the quality of your shots.

The Tiffen Ultra Violet filters, including this 67mm UV-17 Haze-17 variant, are available in a range of absorption levels and sizes to suit your specific needs. The standard UV filter is the most popular for general lens protection. The UV MC variant is multi-coated for extra flare protection, while the UV Warm combines UV absorption with Tiffen's '812' warming filter for a unique effect.

The Haze series of filters offer varying levels of UV light absorption, with the Haze 17 absorbing almost all UV light. For wide-angle lenses, the UV Wide Angle Thin filter is the perfect choice.

Enhance your photography and protect your equipment with the 67mm UV-17 Haze-17 (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter.
