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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
