The Tiffen 58mm Black Satin 1/2 Filter for Photographyhelps to reduce the overall contrast of an image and better control the highlights within a scene. In addition to rendering highlights with a grittier, more grainy appearance, this screw-in filter also helps to subtly soften facial blemishes and wrinkles for a natural, refined look.

This filter is constructed from water white glass and is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and mounting on precision metal rings.

Q: 10. I am purchasing 3 new Rebel SL1 bodies and EF 17-85 lenses. I want to put a cheap Tiffin UV filter (67mm) on for protection. Do I need the wide angle Tiffin UV filter (67mm)with this camera lens combo? If so, Why. Thank you

A: The Canon 17-85mm lens wont be overly wide on the Rebel SL1, so you wouldnt need to go with a slim/wide angle filter. You could go with a normal UV filter.
