Must Have2009-10-14
The most little tool that you must have before you go outside taking picture! and it also protected your lens from scratches. Well done Canon!
You get what you pay for when you buy a filter2009-09-26
First of all, I'm a big fan of buying a UV filter for your lenses. Not only does it cut down on the UV light and makes the colors pop, but it's also insurance against damage to the front element to the lens. The last thing I want to do on a $1000 lens is have to worry about the front getting scratched or damaged, so I'd rather buy a $15-$40 piece of glass to protect it and consider it disposable.

Having said that, with filters in general, you tend to get what you pay for. You might want to consider something more expensive like a Hoya or Tiffen. They're better constructed and don't feel as flimsy as the Canon UV filters.

I'd recommend picking it up - if you get a good copy, then keep it. But if you get one and it sucks (your images seem soft or the UV filter itself seems poorly constructed), then invest an extra few dollars in a better filter. I mean, you've already dropped $500+ on a lens, so what's a few extra dollars? (as the guy at the camera store tells me all the time...)
Not the Best Filter Out There2009-07-03
I purchased this filter to protect my 35mm f/1.4L. This filter, depending on the conditions, reflects a horrendous amount of light. I bought a b + w multi-coated uv filter for my 16-35mm f/2.8L. It costs a lot more but it is well worth it. I had to try pretty hard to get it to reflect any light and when it did it was hardly noticeable. I'll be replacing my canon filter with a b + w.
Canon 72mm UV Lens2009-07-03
Does exactly what it says. I might consider a cheaper manufacturer, but... then again I didn't this time. I own $3 UV filters that work fine, And I haven;t noticed the difference in the "Haze" part. But maybee it is working so well, I just take it for granted. Either way, in my opinion worth every penny to avoid scracthing $500+ lens' but you could get a sub $5 UV filter that covers the basics. I would buy this again!!!!
Perfect!2009-05-17
Had my doubts for the price but NO loss in image quality and protects my lens, very satisfied! I have not noticed any flare from this filter but I also always use a lens hood when I'm in the sun. Bottom line quality build great price!

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 ...
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 ...
