Customer Reviews:
- Why Amazon's Customer Service Rocks: My filter came with a slight nick on the glass. I emailed Amazon and the very next day they ship out a new one for me without me having to do anything else. That is why I will buy something off Amazon instead of a no-name place with a cheaper price. But the filter fits and works as promised on my Nikon D60.
- Good product but some quality control issues: I ordered 2 Tiffen 52 mm UV filters for the 2 lenses that came with my Nikon D60. One filter was fine, the glass in the other filter was loose in the ring. I immediately returned the defective filter to Amazon and they promptly sent me a new one. I am pleased with the filters and Amazon's customer service. I just bought 2 Tiffen Photo Essentials scontaining the UV Protector, 812 Warming filet, and Circular Polarizer. All of these filters appear to be O.K.
- Horrible Lens Flare!!!: I bought a Canon 50mm f1.8 lens along with this filter, and after one night of taking photos, I will never use this filter in conjunction with my lens again. I've never seen such bad lens flare in my life--i.e., this filter catches a lot of the light going into your lens so that when you take pictures, it takes doubles of lights. You'll have one set of streetlights where they should be, and the streetlights' ghosts across the frame. Very annoying. Since it was only $7, I didn't return the filter, but if you're buying this for your 50mm, don't. At night, your lens is meant to be shot unadorned.
- Great Value: The quality is excellent, the most used lens for me is the circular polarizing filter. It's great for digital cameras, especially the canon a620 with its lens attachment. Don't recommend this for professionals though. Came with a nice lens pouch, but it's not compact.
- It helps.:
A decent little piece of protection. I keep one on all my lenses at all times (In fact, I don't think I've ever taken a picture without some sort of filter on my lens). After all, it's much easier to replace a scratched filter than it is to repair a scratched lens.
There are some flares and reflections if you're not careful about where the sun is in your photos. But, if you can't shed the money for a multi-coated, higher-end filter, this one is certainly good enough.
