Comments about Tiffen 77mm Ultra Clear Digital HT Filter:
I just purchased two of these filters. One for my new 50-150 and the other to replace the Tiffen UV on my 17-55 (which was still flawless after four years on my lens but I wanted the extra assurance of the ht coating). I just shot 5000 frames in the less a day and a half. I was outside in the sun, a little rain, and then inside a near dark theatre. The filters got a pretty fair test. The coating is a noticeable difference when you clean the filter. It has a tackiness to it compared to the regular UV. I don't know about the other reviews for this filter but for other clear Tiffen filters I saw a lot of bs about green flares that you get from shooting directly into artificial light, not from the filter, ignore all that. My only concern when I received these was that the filter ring is a silver/titanium color. I know the description says it's titanium, but I assumed it would still be a black ring. Perhaps that's a typical thing, I'm not sure. I was a little concerned that it might have some reflective qualities that could effect the images by bouncing extra light into the lens, but so far I have seen nothing that indicates that. It looks kinda odd on the lens when you have gold rings and then this bright silver filter, but the hood covers it when shooting.

This filter is my 'insurance policy' for my 70-200mm, it never comes off, and doesn't need to...super-clear, super easy to clean...no regrets regarding this purchase.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Ultra Clear Digital HT Filter:
I spent over $1000 for my lens because of it's quality. I wanted to keep it protected from scratches, but not at the expense of my photos. I can't see any degradation in the quality of my photos. and the addition of the filter cannot be seen in the viewfinder at a 24mm wide angle lens setting.

This is agreat filter that won't affect your images. Some UV filters can dim your colors a little, so for me, Ultra Clear is the way to go for protection. The filter comes with a great padded case to store it in as well.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm Ultra Clear Digital HT Filter:
I purchased this filter primarily for lens protection. I previously used a UV filter as lens protection until I read how UV filters can negatively affect picture quality so I decided to use the plainest filter as possible. Very pleased with this filter and its price point.

I wanted a top quality clear filter to protect my Canon L-series lens - haven't noticed any effect on picture quality. I consider the filter relatively inexpensive insurance, considering the price of the lens.
