Editorial Review:Product Description:Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.

Poor Quality
This filter arrived with the glass lens loose and unstable in the mount. Poor quality control in manufacture, this was not a shipping defect. Had to be returned.

Big deal on quality brand filter
I purchased this filter not only as the "protector" to my lens but for its quality and photographics characteristics. I could not believe the low price, shipping included deal that I got.

wrong information
I bought this because Amazon suggested together with my Xacti 1000, however it was the wrong size which needs an adaptor plus another lens cap. So I had to return it and buy a correct one.
I understand it was an automated system that Amazon provides according to the orders, but consumers must be very careful as well. I was in a rush and try to be hustle free.

Protection
Don't know what to say, bought this mostly as lens protection. Have one on all my lenses. Doesn't distort and protects the lens from scratches and UV.
