Horrible
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
I received this filter as a freebee on a lens that I bought. I went out on a sunset shoot at the beach and was getting tons of internal reflections. Bad filter.
Does what it says!

Well I am sure it does not need long review to convince anyone. Price is good and manufacture is well reputed – go for it!
Even if you find no reason to buy it, here is one I can give you. It will save your lens from scratches and dust!
good for the price

This really simple to put on your lens and keep the glass clean also it is really good at protecting your lens from breaking. It claims to keep UV out of your lens but I think it makes easier.
Seems to be good quality, but mine arrived with dust on it
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
This seems to be a fairly basic cover for your expensive lens. Simply, this is good insurance. The optics looks perfectly fine to me. I can discern absolutely zero difference between photos taken with – and without – the filter applied. That said, the filter arrived covered in white dust and I was suprised that they didn’t include a cheap lens wipe in the package.
Beware, be very, very careful

I received a genuine Tiffen 58mm filter plastic carrying box. And a piece of paper with the usual graphics. And… nothing else. Seems that the shipper likes to remove the filter and just ship the plastic box. How nice. My query to Amazon regarding the situation… netted nothing. No reply. Not even an acknowledgement. Zip.
Beware.
It does it’s job

This is just a basic filter, and it does what it is supposed to do. It keeps dust off of your lens, and protects your lens against small accidents.
The only issue with this lens is that if you are using it at night, lights will reflect off of the inside of the filter, causing small “ghost” reflections of the lights. Not a bad thing, actually it can be a little cool, but I can also see how it could get really annoying really fast.
Terrible in Night
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
Please do not buy this filter. It gives terrible flare to the photograph in the night. Works good in the day time. Try hoya. Just 10 dollar more than this item.
Too cheap to pass up. Get it to protect your investments.

Yeah, there is some debate on whether UV filters are needed. Some people say it degrades quality, so say it doesn’t make a difference in the real world. Blah blah blah. My take on it is get it to protect your lens. Its just a cheap way to prevent dust, scratches, or your expensive glass to be accidentally broken. Personally, I haven’t seen any degradation of IQ (image quality) from the pictures I’ve taken and it just gives me a better peace of mind.
Great but came loose

The filter looks and feels good, except when I got mine. The locking ring wasn’t tightened down all the way. I was lightly wiping the lens and I heard a slight ripping/tearing sound and the glass lens can rattle inside the the frame. At first I thought it was glued down and I had ripped the glue off. I took a closer look and saw that you can tighten down the locking ring by using a small flathead and turning the ring with one of the 2 notches along the ring. After that, it was sturdy and no more problems.
The outside of the ring is threaded to allow use of multiple filters or lens.
The Right Stuff

It’s the little things that attract me as a customer. How was I treated when placing my order? Was the person helping me knowledgeable about the product? Did they make suggestions based on my needs? Was the item received the same one I ordered? Was it delivered to the correct address in a timely fashion? I give a resounding yes in all these areas to my merchant. You’ll be hearing from me again.
77mm UV Lens
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I just bought an expensive Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 lens. I wanted to protect my investment. The Tiffen 77mm UV filter has worked great. I have seen no issues with having the lens covered with the Tiffen UV filter.
Good for amateurs like myself
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
You get what you pay for. The moment the lens came in I checked it under the light and could see tiny dot/scratches. I had a promaster before and was all clean. You type UV filter on amazon it all starts with Tiffen. It is also very cheap so it sells the most. I`d recommend it to all amateurs like myself since i wouldnt know the difference on my computer screen or print out, but for sharks out there, it is a no no.
Does what it says

I have bought 5 of these filters; 1 x 52mm, 4 x 58mm and now the 67mm. They do exactly as intended; protect your lens.
I haven’t noticed it affecting image quality in day to day use, but on a couple of night time trips have noticed lights ghosting/doubling on photos which have disappeared when the filter is removed. Am not sure if this happens with other brands as well.
Overall, a good price for peace of mind. I see no reason to spend more at the moment.
Protects my lens
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I use mine to protect my lenses. I know some pros say that these turn your lens into a coke bottle but my amature eye is not that discerning. I shoot mainly outdoors on my boat or in the woods and it has kept “stuff” off of my lens. If I ruin the filter, who cares.
Tiffen gets it done

The Tiffen 72mm uV Protection filter gets the job done and is worth the price.
