Tiffen Protector

The Tiffen UV protection filter 58 mm protects your valuable lens from scratches while simultaneously absorbing incoming UV light. This is particularly important in analog photography, where UV light can negatively affect your images by causing a blue tint. This is even more relevant if you have taken photos and videos at high altitudes or captured large bodies of water. In addition to improving image quality, the protective function of UV filters makes them some of the most commonly used filters by photographers. Using lenses without a protective filter can quickly lead to scratches on the lens, which can adversely affect image quality. Since using the Tiffen UV protection filter on your lens results in virtually no reduction in light, its everyday use is highly recommended. And should your filter get scratched, it can be replaced at a significantly lower cost than your much more expensive lens.
