Product Highlights
- Helps to Absorb Ultraviolet Light
- Reduces Bluish Cast of Daylight
- General Protective Filter
- ColorCore Technology
The Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle Mount Filter is a general use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is especially useful when photographing at high altitudes or around bodies of water. No additional coloration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others.
The UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.
This filter features a slimmer profile mounting ring, which is ideal for use with wide angle lenses. It does not have front filter threads for stacking filters.
Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting to precision metal rings.
- Absorbs some ultraviolet light and reduces bluish cast of daylight.
- Clear filter provides no additional coloration or contrast, allowing you to pair this filter with others.
- General protection filter reduces dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching lens elements.

I didn't get to use this filter because it is so slim the lens cap can't clip to it. Some people don't want to use a lens cap when they put on a UV filter, so if you are that person, don't sweat it. If you like to have a lens cap, just know it may not fit. I exchanged it for a standard Tiffen UV filter and I expect the same high quality with the replacement as I do with all Tiffen products.

I have Tiffen filters on more than half my lenses and have been pleased with their performance. I bought this filter at the same time I bought my Nikkor f/2.8, 17-55mm. The lens has been touted as being very sharp. However, I was disappointed in the sharpness of the images I was capturing with my new lens. At first I thought I had a defective lens, but a little experimentation demonstrated that the filter is the problem. This may be a great filter, but not when coupled with this lens.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle Mount Filter:
I bought it along with my Nikon 10-24mm lens. So it will stay on it as long as I have it. Being an ultrawide lens, you need the slim filter to go with it. This one does the job!

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle Mount Filter:
I boght this for use on a Nikon 12-24mm DX lens, and it works well and so far doesn't seem to cause any vignetting. Alas, because of it's "wide angle" design, there is no place for the lens cap to clamp on to.
I haven't owned it long enough to compare the quality, but the fact that I can't use a lens cap with this is definitely problematic. Not recommended at least for Nikon lenses unless you don't ever use lens caps.

- Lens Protection
Cons
- Not Sharp
