  I bought one and am very disappointed with it. My older filter on a film camera gave a very nice dark blue sky on almost every single shot I took. This filter does not give the same quality, nor the dark sky effect I hoped for on my EOS 30D DSLR. Extremely disappointed.

• Very poor quality, do not buy this (see below) | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-14

  I purchased this filter from Amazon based on positive reviews I read here. The filter is very poorly made, I am shocked that so many rated this highly. Normally the reviews on Amazon are accurate indicators of quality. The glass in this filter is not fixed, in fact it doesn't fit properly. The glass moves back and forth in the casing,it is as though the filter housing was made for a much thicker piece of glass. As others have written it was also very dirty as though it had been handled. I'm guessing somebody else was unhappy and returned it.
  
  I have experience with Hoya filters and have always been pleased with their build quality. I have returned the Tiffen filter as of today and ordered the Hoya. I find the filters great for both the protection they provide and function they serve.
  
  

• Ti 72mm UV Protection Filter a Great Buy! | Rating: | Date: 2008-08-03

  I purchased this UV filter for use with my Nikon D300. I am very satisfied with the results. I recommend this seller and would purchase again from the seller due to great pricing, accuracy in product description and quick shipping.

• UV Protection Filter does it's job | Rating: | Date: 2008-07-12

  Ordered this filter from Amazon after I bought my camera. Wish I had purchased it when I bought my lens. The nice thing about a filter is you can worry more about taking pictures and less about protecting your lens. Good price and no noticeable picture degradation when using this filter. Just used this filter in Hawaii and it protected my lens from the salty sea air near the beach. Definitely recommend getting a cleaning kit to accompany the filter.

• 6 point star filter | Rating: | Date: 2008-07-06

  This filter I use for special lighting effects, (like christmas lights and have tired sun rises).. I have work with a four point star filter however the six point works better...You can do alot with these specialized filters
