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.

Works perfectly:
Not a lot to say, it is a UV lens filter. I have used Tiffen filters for a couple of years now no complaints and Amazon has good pricing.
Well constructed, fits perfectly:
Like all Tiffen filters this one is well constructed and fits perfectly. I've found that it can cause some glare if you aren't using a lens hood.
Worthless:
This filter is not coated, and the reflections are awful. It wasn't worth returning it, so I use it as a lens cap and take it off to shoot pictures. I got a Hoya coated filter and it was well worth the extra money.
Good Stuff, Cheap:
What's to say? Tiffen produces good quality stuff for every product line - at reasonable prices. Unless you're in the market for ultra-elegant filters, click on through to Tiffen.
