 Nice UV Filter - Protects Lens without Distortion September 5, 2010
Frank Hagan (California)
I had this item in my Wish List for those times when I need a small purchase added to my order to get Amazon's wonderful "Free SuperSaver Shipping". A UV filter is wonderful for protecting your lens on your camera, and this one threads onto my lens just fine. The lens cap has no trouble clipping onto it. So form and fit are great, but what about function? I was concerned that an inexpensive filter would distort the image.
But it doesn't. I have yet to be able to see any distortion using this filter. To be honest, for the kind of pictures I take, I'm not sure I would be able to see if it was enhancing pictures as the sales copy claims; supposedly, UV filters will reduce haze and dust, but I maintain the main reason to have one is to protect your expensive lens. In any case, it lives on my lens now, and is removed only when I put a different filter on (such as my circular polarizing filter when shooting wildlife in water).
Inexpensive, good quality, and absolutely no distortion makes this an easy recommendation from me.
Completely satisfied. August 19, 2010

I use this with my Fuji HS10 as basic lens protection and it gets the job done without causing me any wonky results in the photos.

The ordering process was very good and I received the product on time. I would recommend this product to anyone.
 Junk, pretty much August 5, 2010
Andrea (Bowdoin, ME)
I use my UV filter mostly to protect my camera lens. Well, this filter does that. It also scatters light across it, creating a blurry, poorly lit photo if you are anywhere near looking into the sun. Granted, taking a picure into the sun isn't a great idea, but sometimes that's the angle you've got and that's that. In that case, unscrew this filter because you're going to ruin your shot otherwise. Like another reviewer said, you get what you pay for. This is junk.
 creates glare July 27, 2010
Nathan A. Davidson (Arizona)
I bought these filters in order to protect the front of the lens, but light is trapped between the front glass and the filter which is causing glare when taking photos of sunrise/sunset and moon. I really dont see any difference in the shots with them on or off - but they are a cheap way to protect your lens if needed. I would say that these filters actually cause glare to occur - not prevent it.
