The Nikon Neutral Clear NC Filter is a simple, clear 58mm filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for your lens. This multi-coated, optically clear filter does not affect the overall image quality while helping to prevent dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from reaching or damaging your lens.

For those considering this or other Nikon Neutral Clear filters, beware... they consist of two rings: one attaches the filter directly to lens body, the other screws into the lens attachment ring and holds the filter glass in place. But not always and not for long. Sooner or later, you filter glass is going to rattle against the rings because the secondary filter holding the glass in place will loosen for no obvious reason. It started with this filter attached to my Nikon PF 600mm, and before it happened with the same filter attached to my Nikon PF 500mm. Each filter began to loosen and rattle. It is a very difficult and delicate manual task to tighten the secondary ring, which will involve smudging the glass, struggling with near microscopic threads, etc. The photo SM community is aware of this problem and there are at least a few posts in the review of this filter also complaining about it. But don't take your concern to B&H because after a mere 30 days, it's YOUR problem, not B&H's. The tech rep I dealt with admits seeing this issue with the Nikon NC filters. No refunds, no credits.
I'ts a filter. Works fine for my purpose
