Canon 58mm UV Protector Filter
The Canon 58mm UV Protector Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps to protect your valuable lens from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
- Canon 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
- Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees

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.

Comments about Canon 58mm UV Protector Filter:
This is a great way to protect your investment if nothing else. I haven't seen a visible difference in my photographs but the peace of mind that there is a extra layer of protection for my lens is well worth the price.
My budget doesn't allow for replacing lenses

Comments about Canon 58mm UV Protector Filter:
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.

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.

I already new they were important, but when at the shop last week I saw a person coming with a totally crushed filter to buy another one. What if that were her lenses?!?!? I even think we shoul always have one for each SLR.

This filter does a great job "crisping" up the picture. It fits on nicely and fits under the lens cap nicely. An affordable lens protection that makes photography look better.
