A Top Product Recommended by Pro's! May 2008
Thru the years, I have used UV filters on all of my photo equipment, including my newest Digital Canon, (READ my Review) for the following reasons, which may help you in several ways:
The Canon UV-1 58mm Haze filter -
* A 'Physical Protection barrier' for the front element of the lens. (Probably the Most
Important Reason), and here's Why:
* Protecting the Front Lens unique "Chromatic Coating". This 'coating' is what separates all
lenses, if the Glass is all equal, even within the same manufacturer, into categories from a
Good lens, all the way to a Superior one. Example - Minolta's Celtic vs Rokkor lenses
* Protection from dirt, dust, abrasions, and moisture. (The front lens is where all light &
images come thorough, that's recorded on film or microchip, so any Lens scratches,
abrasions, or smudges, all get recorded too). This ALSO keeps you from Damaging the
Chromatic Lens Coating!
* Easy Screw-in type, Easy to Change & Easy to Clean. That's 3 Easy's, People!
* Produce a very subtle 'Warming Effect', useful to counter the "Cooler" SHIFT and/or Colors
you sometimes get with some 'Lenses' or in bright sun or in shade. Example: Panasonic &
Pentex and some others have produced lenses with a 'Cool-Shift' lens coating and/or
microprocessor. - What this also means is that your Images will have to be 'Hue Corrected'.
* Very affordable with Excellent Benefit's. I usually buy in Pairs, so that I might have a spare,
just in case, and all pro photographers, bank on it. Just part of the 'must-have add-on's'.

Hazeing
It appears that I received exactly what I thought I purchased. I trust I purchased a genuine Cananon UV-1 58mm Haze Filter and as such I am very satisfied with the purchase and the vendor. Rating:

Poor quality workmanship
For the price I guess it's ok but not 2 days after I put it on my camera the glass came loose and started vibrating in the frame. It's very light and thin and will probably break easily. Rating:

Good Glass
Why put a $10 piece of glass in front of your $500 lens? When ever I put anything between the lens and the subject I always make sure that it is of the same quality of the lens or better. Canon lens, Canon filter. |
