When one has a quality product available from many sources, it is price and service that make the difference. I find both of these with Adorama.

When buying filters for such a huge lens as the Sigma 150-500 zoom, price is a factor. Tiffen doesn't let you down. A great value. Used simply to protect the lens. Adds nothing to the image. Reduces UV.

Needed the course thread for my Tamron 200-500mm lens. Works perfect

When I bought my long lens, I thought I would buy a filter eventually, boy after one shoot did I ever find out that I waited far to long. I let price get in the way of great pictures. That will never happen again.

I got this filter in a bundle deal when I purchased a sigma 150-500mm lens. I immediately put it on the lens. At first, I thought I had a bad lens. I tried everything and couldn't get a clear shot with the lens. After reading some reviews on the lens, I read one that indicated they couldn't get a good shot with a filter on it. I did a test with and without the filter on it, everything else being the same. There was clearly a difference in the clarity of the pictures. I removed the filter, and started getting good shots. I'm still early in the game with my lens, but I'm beginning to think this filter was the only problem. It may work for some, but in my case, it definately had a negative effect on the quality of my shots.

This UV lena definitely improved clarity on my shot and also is a must have to protect your expensive camera lens from scratches!

I always use something to protect the lens and this is my favorite filter for that

This filter came in a Sigma lens kit from Adorama for only 1 cent more than the lens price by itself. The construction is fine; I have no problems. It protects the lens glass like it is supposed to. Normally I would by a Hoya SMC but figured I would give this a try for a penny. I'm satisfied at this point.

this product had a gap between the ring and the glass, the glass was not clear and I wouldn't put this in front of any lens no matter how cheap the lens is. Buy a Hoya and do it right the first time.

Cheap protection for your lens.

This came with a lens I ordered - it has a solid ring, but the glass rattles around in it. When mounted, I loose a lot of picture quality. It's good for protection, built like a tank - I will use it when on the beach to protect from wind blown sand and salt, but remove it everywhere else.

I purchased this filter for my Tamron 200-500mm telephoto. The filter stays on the lens and protects it. I do shoot at higher altitudes, so the UV protection also comes in handy. All of my Tiffen filters work as advertised. Very stable, very realiable company.

Very large and heavy construction. Great protection for my Sigma 150-500MM lens.

I have used this filter on a lens I've used only twice to date, shooting wildlife in bright light on a Sigma 50-500 lens. It has worked fine. I like the fact that the Sigma lens cap remains effectively tight over the filter. This isn't always the case with filters!

I like the solid construction. Plus, Ilike the fact that there is a large side to handle when installing or removing the filter. Additionally, the top edge is serated thus allowing even a firmer girp.

I purchased the Tiffen 86mm UV filter primarily for lens protection. I have other UV filters for other lens but they are thin and do not have enough surface area to get a firm grip when installing or removing. The Tiffen 86mm UV filter is huge. Plus, it is mounted in a large metal cylinder, which has a serated edge on the top ridge, thereby making it easier to get a firm grip. I love it. It's a solid product.

My sole intent for this purchase was to protect my Sigma 50-500mm lens. This filter does the job just fine. I was slightly disappointed that it didn't come in some sort of case, it ships in a Tiffen box with a ziploc bag. Not a big deal, though.

Not much to say. Nice filter for the money.
