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.

 Great Deal November 16, 2008
Naturally these aren't professional quality filters, but for the price point they are a very good purchase. They are far better than dime store variety that you see offered in the package deals on various other sites. I'm using them on my Panasonic FZ28 and I've found them to be quite effective for their intended purposes. The glass is evenly ground and the colors uniform. They come in a nice case as well. I would label these as a "best buy."
Best in class October 26, 2008
I bought the first set for a colleague while in the US and after looking at the pictures she took this set is highly recommended. So when a colleague asked what filter set to buy for her FZ18 i recommended this item. So this second purchase is for that colleague. Highly recommended.

Tiffen's circular polarizer may not be the cheapest but it is worth the price. It effectively removes atmospheric haze in landscape and city photographs. Colors have deeper tones without appearing artificial, creating a crisper image with enhanced depth. I consider it essential equipment for anyone who wants more than a simple aim-shoot photograph. Highly recommended.
Excellent filter - great price ! Must have for FZ18 users! September 3, 2008

I purchased this filter through Amazon/Adorama for my FZ18k - primarily to protect the front element of the zoom lens. The filter was delivered in it's own case and the packaging is much better than many other brands that I have used in the past. The quality of the glass is good. I have not noticed any distortions in photos takes with the filter. It is a great buy to protect your zoom lens!
Great Protection and Filtering for the price!! July 17, 2008

My filter came in from Adorama in perfect condition and brand new looking. No movement of the glass and no scratches or other signs of use as mentioned in some earlier reviews. The glass is pristine and, in addition to giving me protection for the lens on my Panasonic FZ18, it appears to add some clarity and sharpness to the pictures, especially in bright light. I am not a pro photographer by any means, just an enthusiast. This filter gives me the protection I desire at a lower price point. Adorama's shipping and product was great!
