Very important product. If you are new to the 35mm Digital Cameras, please be advised you need one of these filters for every lens you own. They are reasonably priced and provide UV protection and also provide safety to your original lens. Easy to install with screw thread mount. Check the MM of your lens and buy the correct size.

The UV Protector Filter by Canon is just that, a protector. It is not a UV-Haze filter and will not help cut out that much UV, but it is a clear element in front of your lens that will protect it from scratches and accidents.

It is sort of a cheap construction and feels flimsy, however I have yet to have the element fall out of the ring.

If you are looking for a UV-Haze filter look at the B+W filter instead. But if you just want lens protection, this'll do.

    A bit pricy, but I got an off-brand before that wouldn't even screw into my T3i. This one works great!

        this filter does what it's supposed to do, cut out the glare and protect your several hundred dollar lens. especially if you shoot on the go in all sorts of environments, this is a must. have several items from B&H, and they always get the product out fast, I've had some shipping notices within hours of ordering.

          I typically look for the best value and try to save a few bucks but in this case I stuck with Canon to make sure I had great quality. Glass is one of those things that can make or break a photo. Why put a cheap filter on an expensive lens? Pics are only as strong as the weakest link. Great filter.

            I used this with my Canon 50mm f1.4.

            I thought I'd be saving a little bit of money by buying this instead of a higher quality UV. I ended up being very wrong. I stupidly bought this and used it the day of for a gig. Every highlight ended up being duplicated rotated 180° and turned green. This is an indication of a bad UV filter. I ended up taking the filter off and just shooting with no protection.

            DO NOT TRY TO SAVE MONEY BUYING THIS. Buy a Hoya filter or go to some other alternative. You will regret using this filter!

                  A friend recommended that I purchase a filter not only to enhance the photo taking process but to protect my lenses. I have to commend B&H because I first ordered the wrong lens. They handled the exchange and getting me my proper filters in a matter of days. Just another reason I purchase all my camera equipment from B&H Photo!

                            My budget doesn't allow for replacing lenses

                                I buy a UV filter at the same time I buy a new lens. Won't use the lens until I can get a UV for it. My 300mm just took a crash, the UV was in splinters, it's ring bent, the 300 hasn't a scratch. UV filters also catch all of the dirt, grit and scratches an unprotected lens would catch over time.

                                Good, cheap, simple, effective protection, don't leave home without them and always have one in your wallet.

                                  I purchased this filter for a new canon lens that I bought. It fits perfect, I get great photos on sunny days, and it protects my lens from unwanted dirty and scratches....I highly recommend this filter.

                                    Bought the product more for protection of my lens than the function of the UV protection, but it does both well. If you're looking for a UV filter for a Canon lens I suggest buying a Canon product from B&H.

                                    Easy to get on. Fits well. No nasty flares or distortion. Protected my 50mm 1.2 L-Series from a piece of road rock kicked up by a passing car. Get one as soon as you can.
