The Tiffen 5x5 UV Haze 1 Filteris a general use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is especially useful when photographing at high altitudes or around bodies of water. No additional coloration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others.

The UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass and grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. This filter measures 5 x 5" / 127 x 127mm.

Q: 8. Thia filter absorbs all UV light. What are the advantages and disadvantages of absorbing all UV light.

A: UV 2A rated filters are recommended for photographers who are going to be doing shoots at higher elevations such as mountains etc, where the UV Haze that is present in the atmosphere has a different level of effect than it does closer to sea level. Essentially at higher elevations there are greater amounts of UV light present which need to be filtered out for clearer images. They remove the bluish cast caused by UV light. In general there are no disadvantages to this filter.

Q: 9. will this filter work on a televue 85 scope and not affect sharp focusing of nature subjects ?

A: It would be almost impossible for this filter to affect sharpness. Your light is already traveling through huge amounts of glass. The idea that one tiny extra layer will make any difference is simply wrong-headed, yet many "pros" will tell you they never want to add another layer of glass. This is especially wrong when dealing with B+W, whose glass is made by Schott. Schott in Germany and Hoya in Japan make the finest laser optical glass in the world. It will be virtually perfect in every regard.

Q: 10. Would this be recommended for use indoors?

A: Yes, UV filters are generally used these days as protect filters. Usually people leave them attached at all times.
