Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tiffen 72mm Haze-1 Filter
Customer Review: not bad for a CHEAPO filter, but...
Summary: 1 Stars
The most important part of a camera is the lens. And in the lens is glass, and the optics of that glass will in many way set the price and the quality of the lens. That is why proline models, like the Canon L series costs more than the standard models and if you compare them you will see a difference. One thing to keep in mind, is that if you damage the image coming in to the lens, the lens and camera can't repair it. The quality of the filter you put in front of your lens will affect the quality of the image you get. Most filters, even some of the top Hoya are just plain window glass, granted some are coated but the optics of the glass are still low quality! This will affect your image. If you are using a simple basic lens like a Sigma or Tokina then a lower optics quality filter like this wont make much of a difference. However, if you are using a higher grade lens, you need a higher grade filter. The only 2 ground glass filters that I have found are the B+W and Heliopan. They are more expensive, but well worth it! You get what you pay for!
A UV filter serves a 2 fold purpose.
1st it helps to protect your lens and keep it from getting scratches or damaged! I have seen a camera dropped and the uv filter shattered but the lens was still working and so was the camera. What would have happened w/o the filter, I dont know, but I would guess it would not have turned out so good. I am often out in the outdoors, and the UV filters I use, B+W mostly, have protected my lenses from several scraps and scratches that could have cost thousands to repair or replace!
2nd the UV filter does filter out some UV light, and thus you will see less haze in some of your shots. Not a Good Circ. Polarizer can also help in this matter as well!
Note if you have a very wide angle lens, like a 10-18MM you should get a slim model UV filter or else you can see black corners in your picts when you are at max wide angle.
Hope this helps.
