General Brand 77mm UV Protector Glass Filter
UV Protector Glass Filters are wise initial investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
- UV filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
- If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection

This is the very first accessory you should buy
(actually for ANY lens)! You've just spent good money on a finely engineered chunk of glass---protect it! No matter how careful a photographer you are,no matter how often you use a lens cap, this filter is STILL about the wisest investment you can make. Tiffen makes a consistently great product, in a variety of sizes, which attaches smoothly & evenly----no distortion, ever.
Highly recommended.

Saved my lens but have switched brands
In good times, this UV filter seems perfectly adequate for protecting the lens from unintended bumps and other encounters. Just recently, I dropped my Pentax K7 w/16-50/2.8. Maybe 2 feet....Read complete review
In good times, this UV filter seems perfectly adequate for protecting the lens from unintended bumps and other encounters. Just recently, I dropped my Pentax K7 w/16-50/2.8. Maybe 2 feet. Lens was wearing this filter and both camera+lens were in an OP/TECH fitted DSLR case.
The filter glass spider-webbed and the ring was dented but my lens was saved - plus 3 stars.
However, the aluminum ring might as well have been made of wax it was so deformed. Impossible to remove. Had to use hacksaw - minus 2 stars.
So, if you're in the market for a UV filter because you don't want your kid's fingerprints on the lens - get this flimsy windowpane Tiffen. If you have a $1k+ lens (heck, a $400 lens) and want cheap insurance, take my advice - spend extra for those brands with the high-quality glass and brass ring.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Filter:
I just received the AF-S NIKKOR 24-120mm ED VR lense from B&H. This filter was included in the filter "twin pack" at no extra charge. At first I thought that was so nice of B&H to include this bonus with my purchase. But as it turns out, including this filter pack was a mistake on B&H's part as it just led to a waste of my time. The UV Protection filter flares excessively and should be recycled rather than used in any optical system. I just replaced this inferior filter with the Nikon 77mm Clear NC Glass Filter, which functions beautifully. I doubt I will ever try the Tiffen Circular Polarizing filter as Tiffen has such a black eye from producing the junky UV Proetction filter.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Filter:
When I got into photography, one of the first things I was told was to always have a protective filter on the end of my lenses to protect the glass. It's much easier to replace a filter than a very expensive lens.
Years later, I found myself changing lenses on a rocky surface, and, for the first time, I dropped a lens. It was my most expensive lens... a nice wide angle with a bubbled out glass.. The Tiffen filter on the end shattered into a hundred pieces, but it saved the lens. It works fine, and the glass below didn't get harmed at all. These protective filters are a MUST and will help save you in a split second.

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Filter:
I'm using it on my 17-40L with my 5d2, and it's been great! The threads seem smooth enough, and don't get stuck. I tried to do test shots on a white wall for the vignetting and didn't notice much of an increase from the bare lens at all apertures... Lens is still very sharp, and best of all it's so inexpensive!

Comments about Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Filter:
I really don't have much to say about the product except that it does what it's suppose to do. It fits very well onto my 70-200 VR II. It screws in really tight which I really love. I don't see any difference on my pictures with this thing attached to my lens. It's good to have a protection on your very expensive lens.
