Shopper : will this fit a Nikon d5300 lens?DANIEL K : Verify the diameter in millimeters of your lens (the number usually appears at the front of the lens) and then order a filter of the correct size (the one pictured here is 52mm). The camera model number is irrelevant; it is the diameter of the lens attached to the body which is the important factor. A UV or sky filter improves the "blue" in images and, most importantly, protects the lens from damage (better to scratch a $10 filter than a few hundred dollar lens).ROBERT B : It will fit any lens that takes a threaded 52mm filter, which is what the Nikon 18-55mm kit lens uses.JOHN C : Depends on the lens that you are using on your camera. Some lenses will use thus 52mm filter, while others may use a 55mm or 58mm. And if you look at the front of your lens, you will see one of those numbers by themself around the outer edge.
Shopper : Dear Sir, Is this filter good for Panasonic Lumix 45-200 mm lens? Thanks!LONNIE W : I bought the uv filter for a Nikon lens but i'm sure it would work great for your lens. I have one on every lens I own!SARAH W : It worked great for my 18-55mm Nikon lens.. the only way to know if it will FIT is to see what your lens suggests. 52mm is a measurement specific to certain kinds of lenses. It should say on the lens cap, rim of the lenses, or worst case in the manual. Good luck!STEVE T : UV filters are good for any lens. Common use is to protect the lens from damage. The multi-coating offers the additional benefit of reducing reflections.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?John R : Lens protection. I would rather break a filter than a lens.TAMI F : I always keep a spare filter on hand for my lenses.DENNIS C : Inexpensive quality brand

For The Price - A Great Little Glass Filter...

I got this for my 18-150 lens and the filter threaded on easily. I use it for the extra protection of the lens, mostly from dirt, fingerprints etc. It's easy to clean. If you have a lens with a 55mm filter threading then I'd recommend this both for price and the fact it is a glass filter not a resin. UV back in the day when I did film photography was important, today not so much if at all, so the UV aspect is not, to me, important.

Works as expected.

Had some flare but I?m not sure whether the filter contributed or it?s the lens. Need to do more tests.

Fine UV filter

Works as expected. For the price, the quality is quite nice. It is just a simple UV filter, and I don't notice any optical impact, but I am not as discerning an eye as some. I just wanted to add some protection to a pancake lens (yes I am that type of uv filter person) with no lens hood and I feel that this suits the job

I bought mine as a lens protector, and it does cut down on UV light reaching the image sensor or film.

I use mine as a lens protector. Optically fine as well.

High Qualty looking filter

I have not used this filter hence few stars. Like the way it looks crisp machining good anodizing legible text on its sides.

Life at the 72mm Objective End

When you live on the objective end of a 180mm f3.5 1:1 macro lens in the wilds of nature, life is tough. You must be optically flat, colorless, stay out of the picture, and keep the subject matter out of the lens. This filter does it all, and at for a modest price.

I needed a new protective filter as my other one was damaged. This arrived super fast and it works great! It is actually multi-coated more than the previous one. My photos are looking better. All this for a great price! Thank you, Adorama!!

Fast focus, great image quality and zoom range

Still lots to learn about using this camera, but I love the fast autofocusing and image quality. An unexpected plus is that the zoom range can be significantly increased by using the Clear Image Zoom feature. I’m having much more success using instructional videos I find on the Internet than Sony’s downloadable manuals.

Surprisingly good.

I've had bad experiences with telephotos and wide angles from Vivitar. However, seems to fit well, and no distortion. Of course, this is a far less complicated device!

Lens Protection

I have had my Canon for several years without a filter, and in reading about the benefits of a UV filter, I decided to invest in one. I haven’t noticed any difference in the picture quality but appreciate that it protects the lens. Thanks Adorama for the info on your site about UV filters.
