Tiffen 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter

Do you want to take great pictures with no optical problems? Do you want your images to come out crisp and clean no matter where you shoot? If so, then the 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle Lens Filter from Tiffen is just the item you're looking for! Designed for exemplary performance and ease-of-use, the UV filter protects your camera lens from damage and safeguards your image against a whole range of visual issues. Because film is more sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light than our eyes, UV rays often create a visual haze or bluish cast, particularly when shots are taken from high altitudes, long distance or over bodies of water. The Protector Filter absorbs ultraviolet light and reduces blue daylight haze. The UV is manufactured with ColorCore technology, which involves laminating the substrate of the filter between two pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to 1/10,000th of an inch and then mounting it to precision metal rings. Because of this exact production process, the lens filter precisely performs many functions that enhance the quality of your pictures. In addition to improving picture quality, the filter reduces damage from dust, moisture and scratches. Because the protector filter does not provide additional coloration or contrast, it can be paired with other filters to create even more image details. And since it absorbs no normal light, the UV can be kept on your lens at all times. With the Tiffen UV 77mm Protector Filter, you have everything you need to make precise and beautiful pictures! The 77mm UV Protector Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter from Tiffen is a wise initial investment. It can help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. A UV filter not only minimizes the bluish cast sometimes found under daylight conditions, but is also the best available protection against accidental damage to the front element of your lens. A UV filter is the best available protection for the front element of your lens. A lens that accidentally gets dropped on its front element while hiking can potentially be saved by purchasing this item. Some people refer to them as cheap insurance. Aside from that more-than-significant benefit, UV filters cut through some of the haze in the atmosphere rendering your photos clearer, sharper and more contrasty. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a UV filter can produce a more distinct image by removing much of the blue tint normally associated with atmospheric haze. A UV Protector is probably the most popular UV filter people use. As a lens protector, it should be left on at all times to guard against front element damage but also adds the benefit of rendering your images clearer. Tiffen's ColorCore glass is produced through a process that entails permanently laminating the filter material in between two pieces of optical glass that are ground flat to tolerances of a ten-thousandth of an inch, then mounting them in precision aluminum rings. This filter uses a Wide Angle (Low Profile) mount. Wide Angle filters are only 3mm thick and are specifically designed for use with wide angle lenses. In order to help eliminate vignetting (darkening of the corners), it does not have a front thread.
