55mm UV Lens Filter HD MCUV Ultraviolet 28 Multi-Coated Filters (Nano-x series Toughened Glass)
SKU: KF01.1863
Very good quality It fits exactly. Nothing sticks out. Lens hoods can also be used as before. I bought the filter to protect a lens. The filter works as in the description and does what it is made for. Simply outstanding.

First time out with the filter got caught in the rain at a soccer game. The rain was not forecasted and thus I didn’t bring rain gear for my cameras. I was amazed how the water beaded up on the filter and I was able to shake it off most of the time. As for image quality, I couldn’t tell the difference between this filters and a much more expensive B&W filter. I bought several.

Thoroughly enjoyed adding an extra layer of protection to my lens from the elements. The protector didn't effect my image quality or auto focus. It provided a high quality image.

In modern DSLR cameras, there is a huge argument whether UV Filters provide any benefit. I’m in the camp that says there are definite benefits. First, there are arguments that the UV filter can protect the sensor in your camera from long term deterioration caused by UV exposure. Second, a high-quality filter provides a layer of protection to the front of your camera lens. I was taking pictures at a very windy venue, and a door was caught by the wind and smacked the front of my lens before I could catch it. I was lucky that the hit wasn’t worse, but the lens did receive a small chip to the front plastic. This filter is made out of metal, screwed right on, and will protect the front of the lens from this kind of damage in the future. The lens could still get damaged in other ways, but it is a layer of protection from these unexpected bumps. In the future, if the lens gets bumped and the filter gets destroyed, I’ll be grateful that the filter took the hit instead of the lens. The filter is much cheaper to replace!

While a clear filter may not be the most exciting bit of camera gear, it can prove valuable in protecting your expensive lens investment. This filter seems optically clear and does not add any color cast. From my readings I barely see any light loss, nor have I run into internal reflections. The filter has some grip indents on the outside which make it easy to install and remove. Many of my older filters would become stuck and difficult to remove, but I don't anticipate that with this one. It is not overly thin, but I have not discovered any vignetting with this at the wide end of my 24-70 Lumix S Pro lens.
If you tend to shoot in harsh environments, or anywhere that may cause contact with your front lens element, seriously give this some consideration. It's affordable protection worth having.

This is a basic UV filter. It seems to do a good job at protecting the camera sensor from UV rays and doesn't mess with the image quality

This makes the pictures somewhat more vibrant and clear. My daughter, who is the photographer, loves it.

The filter is very well made, easy to screw in and does not significantly impair image quality! The packaging, although oversized for a 49mm filter, is also very neat and of high quality.
Unfortunately, the lens hood can no longer be put on because the filter edge is a bit too thick; this is the case with my Sony FE 28mm f2.0. It is therefore useless for me and is returned with a heavy heart.
