Tiffen 72mm UV Protection Filter

Quantity:
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.

does its intended job2009-07-04
Purchased this item along with Sony Sal 70-400 lens, it fits perfectly. and it was delivered on schedule.
OK for Free2009-07-01
For an inexpensive filter (free with the lens I bought) it is fine. lots of ghosting as you might expect for an uncoated filter. I have removed it and do not plan on using it again.

On my bigger glass I tend to use 77mm multi-coated filters which run in the ~$100+ range. I may purchase a 58mm coasted version of this filter for ~$40 (or about 10% of the cost of the lens I would be putting it on).

However, with the 50mm f1.4 I tend to shoot in low light with light sources in the frame. No filter will generally be my choice for these situations.
Tiifen 72mm UV Protection Filter2009-06-29
Very nice filter. Ultra Sharp fits nicely no problems at all. I have to say it does a very nice job of deflecting sun rays which can leave awful reflections in pictures.
A protector2009-06-28
Este dispositivo cumple su función al 100%... solamente protege el lente de tu cámara. Es preferible que se dañe él a que se dañe el lente.

Recomendación: procura mantenerlo siempre limpio, sin huellas o cosas por el estilo ya que tu cámara se puede perder en modo AutoFocus.

Es protección a bajo costo...

Why You Should Use A Mini DV Camcorder
Introduction The mini DV camcorder has many advantages to offer its users. If you enjoy your digital video camera you will also enjoy this. The mini DV camcorder is easier to take with you than the regular sized cameras such as the hi definition camcorder, or the hi-Res camcorder. The size of this camcorder is one of its big advantages. The features this camcorder can offer are also great. Some cameras offer more features than others, so make sure that the camera has the features you want. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Generally when design, performance and technological improvements are made on electronic products there is a reduction in size as well to make them more compact. For example the early day radios were built in large cabinets and required radio vacuum tubes. Eventually, transistor radios were constructed and were more portable. Today, a radio can be as small as a wristwatch. Camcorders have also evolved in tec ...
Camera basics: shutter-speed, aperture and ISO
In this article, I’ll introduce you to the basic elements that you can use to control exposure in your shooting. If you have a digital SLR, there will be a way to set all of these controls on your camera, but since they differ between manufacturers and models, you’ll need to refer to your camera’s manual to find out exactly how to change them. All cameras, whether an ancient film camera, or a more modern digital, work in pretty much the same way. Photographs are taken by letting light fall onto a light-sensitive medium, which records the image. Traditionally, this has been film, but more recently, it tends to be a digital sensor. The more light that falls onto the film or sensor, the lighter the image. Put simply, a camera consists of a light-tight box that stores a light-sensitive device (either a film or a digital sensor), a lens that magnifies and focuses the image onto that light-sensitive device through a hole in the box (called the aperture) , and a shutter that opens ...
