It Works -cap fits barely . Could be deeper on outside threads

Looks like a filter. Works like a clear filter. Canon lens cap does not sit very deep in the threads, barely attaches really,,,But has not popped off yet.

Quality filter to protect all my expensive glass

Always use a Tifen UV filter on all my lens as added protection for the expensive glass behind the filter. The filter adds no aberrations and is easily removed to swap a polarizing filter.

Works well, but it is very thin

There is no way to attach the lens cap to the front with this filter installed.

Always keep one of these on my lens

Always keep one of these on my lens. If you could see what happened the other day, you would too. Saved the $1000 lens, shattered the filter. Tiffen is great quality, Adorama delivers superbly.

Impressed with the quality

Excellent value for money filter. Does provide excellent protection and still able to fit the lens cap for my Canon 10-18mm lens. The item arrived in a well packaged mail in real quick time, despite selecting standard shipping option.

About Tiffen UV Wide Angle Filter

FEATURED REVIEWS

thin design for wide angle lens

By JEFFREY K.

excellent optics and uv protection but this, and all wide angle,thin glass, filters, have no front threads to hold the lens cap on. you must get a push on cap to protect the filter. for this 77mm filter, i got an 80mm od push on cap from b+w at adorama.

Good quality

By CAROL B.

Great glass. Doesn't affect the images. Love the low profile except be aware that you can't use a lens cap with this filter.

Before you capture your next breathtaking landscape or outdoor portrait, consider the 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Wide Angle Thin Glass Filter. This high-quality filter is specifically designed to absorb UV light, which is more perceptible to film than to the human eye. UV light often manifests as a haze or a bluish cast in your photos, particularly when shooting from high altitudes, long distances, or over bodies of water.

Our UV filters not only enhance your photography by reducing this UV interference, but they also provide an added layer of protection for your lens. They safeguard against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and even damage from cleaning, ensuring your lens remains in pristine condition.

The beauty of these UV filters lies in their subtlety. They do not alter normal light, nor do they affect color or contrast, allowing for a natural and true-to-life result. This means they can be kept on your lens at all times without impacting the quality of your images.

The 72mm UV Wide Angle Thin Glass Filter is part of our extensive range of UV filters, which are available in various absorption levels and sizes. This particular filter is designed for use with wide-angle lenses. It features a low-profile ring to prevent vignetting, a common issue when using standard filters with ultra-wide-angle lenses.

Please note, due to its slim design, this filter does not have a front thread and cannot accept standard snap-on lens caps. This is a key consideration when purchasing this filter for your Nikon 18-200 zoom lens or similar models.

Whether you're a professional photographer or an enthusiastic hobbyist, the 72mm UV (Ultra Violet) Wide Angle Thin Glass Filter is a valuable addition to your photography kit, offering both image enhancement and lens protection.
