To be frank here, I'm not a professional photographer, however, I have managed to buy a decent SLR camera. With me travelling all the time, I take enough time to click pictures.However, on my recent trip I learned that if you take pictures in bright sunlight the pictures won't come that well and one of the professionals thought me that we need to use this type of lens to help prevent the lens as well as give a good effect for your pictures. Initially, I thought this lens was expensive for me, then later on reading some blogs, I realized that if direct sunrays falls on your camera lenses, there are high chances you might need to throw away your camera, so considering those factors, I guess this is a good deal I would say.When considering the quality of the lens, it's amazing, it's thick and perfectly prevents the sunrays, I realized that I need to get a holder to have this while taking pictures, but you can hold it in hand if you have sturdy hands. You also get a small cloth for cleaning up the lens and good packaging too.Overall, I like the lens considering the price and the things that it covers.
