Tiffen 58mm Clear Filter (Coated)
The 58mm Clear Filter from Tiffen is a wise investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection.
Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings.

Good protection at a good price.
Seems sturdy and works well for keeping lenses protected. Does not appear to affect image quality much, if at all.

Comments about Tiffen 58mm Clear Filter (Coated):
As clear filters go, this one works quite well for the price. It threads easily and doesn't bind. There is no appreciable degradation in image quality under normal shooting conditions. It does seem to be more prone to ghosting when working against hard light than more expensive filters of this type. If this is a concern for you, I would recommend spending the $20-30 on a multi-coated filter.
