Comments about Canon 52mm Ultraviolet (UV) Glass Filter:
After an accident that jammed my lens (repairable) but thankfully did not break the glass, I finally got around to buying these for all my lenses. I don't know why I waited so long - they are inexpensive, well made, and actually increase the quality of your photos.

Comments about Canon 52mm Ultraviolet (UV) Glass Filter:
I have used canon uv filters in the past. I always keep a uv filter on my lens to protect it from dust and scratches. The Canons are good quality and relativity inexpensive. Overall I am happy with the quality and they seem slightly better then a few Hoyas I have. [...] always need a good cleaning first (minus 1 star for that).

Comments about Canon 52mm Ultraviolet (UV) Glass Filter:
I bought this partly to increase my aperture on bright days instead of buying a neutral density filter. In part I bought it to get less glare from windows.
My first attempt with it was a disaster. I didn't know I had to line up the white dots!
