Amazon Basics UV Protection Filter - 52 mm

Product Information

Some of Canon's lenses, including the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 II, 24mm f/2.8 IS, 28mm f/2.8 IS and 35mm f/2 IS, have a slightly curved front lens element. While UV filters can be thought of as cheap, disposable things (see our next entry for an instance thereof), one new company is choosing to think of them more sustainably. Urth is a company that makes a variety of premium, high-grade filters, and its protective UV filter is a great choice for those who want the UV component of the filter as much as the protective aspect of it. Breakthrough’s X4 UV filters are well-designed, optically excellent and have proven rugged and reliable for me, making their recommendation an easy one. Relatively new to the market, Breakthrough Photography's UV filters feature a thin (3.1mm) brass ring that practically eliminates filter-caused vignetting.

Unflat or rough glass reduces sharpness. How much, well that is what the debate is about and the reason why better filters cost more money. Take your UV filter off before attaching a circular polarizing filter or neutral density filter to your lens.They have shot thousands of shots and have never seen shots that needed throwing away just because of the UV filter. Some people live or work in the desert, near salt sea spray, love to shoot in light rain. Or in dirty industrial environments spitting chips and stuff. Makes sense. LensRentals.com replaces about a half-dozen front elements a week and a major cause for that damage is cheap filters not clearing the front lens element.

Manufacturers STILL MAKE UV filters - they are not lens covers, lens protectors (I think there is one) - they are filters - that means they are not designed to be impact resistant or super strong - they are designed to filter light. If they were designed to be lens protectors, they would be designed strong. Even non-regular filter users will want a filter when shooting in very dusty or harsh conditions (think salt water spray).

Ok, I get it but I still want to buy a filter. Which one? Is A better than B?

As mentioned above, the Nano version of this filter line includes B+W's best 8-layer MRC Nano coating. Memory Cards & Storage SD Cards Micro SD cards CFexpress cards Compact Flash and CFast cards Card Readers SSD and USB Drives Scanners
