Tiffen 58mm Skylight 1-A Glass Filter
Due to its light pink color, the Tiffen 58mm Skylight (1A) Glass Filter reduces the bluish cast of daylight and produces a pleasing, warmer picture tone. Wise initial investments, they help protect your lens from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
- If desired they can be left on at all times for protection
- Skylight 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
- Also used to reduce the bluish cast common with some electronic flash units

Buy a lens, buy a filter. I used Skylight filters in the 35mm days so I figured I'd try one with the DSLR. Seems to have the same effect as a UV. The filter was a Tiffen and the price was low, but the filter glass is loose in the ring mount. Have the same issue with a Canon filter. So far no bad effects on either one. I got what I paid for.

Comments about Tiffen 58mm Skylight 1-A Glass Filter:
Tiffen filters are great. Probably the best filter value out there. I do wish they would use satin black paint instead of flat so it would look more like a match to the camera, but that is really a non-issue.
