Comments about Tiffen 72mm Skylight 1-A Glass Filter:
I bought this filter simply to protect my Tamron zoom lens. I'm happy with the metal construction, and the threads fit very well. Good filter for the money.

Comments about Tiffen 72mm Skylight 1-A Glass Filter:
I use these Tiffen Skylight Filters on all 4 of my lenses. They do a very good job of taking care of haze. This one (the 72mm) is on my 500mm mirror lens and I am very satisfied with its performance. Often there is a lot of atmosphere between me and my subject with this lens and this filter reduces haze well. Also, I can attach my lenscap with this filter on.
