The Tiffen 86mm UV 17 Filter - Coarse Threadis 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. This filter attenuates approximately 97% of UV radiation, slightly less than a UV 2A filter.

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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. I just purchased the Nikon 10-24. Any vignetting issues with wide angle lenses? Is ring thin enough?

A: For a super wide-angle lens like your Nikon 10-24, you'd be better off with the more expensive B+W XS-PRO UV Haze because it's slimmer. Mary B's response is utterly irrelevant because she's referring to a telephoto lens.

Q: 2. Will this fit Tamron SP 150-600mm F5-6.3 Di VC USD G2T?

Q: 3. Is the single coating on one side of the filter or both sides?

A: This coating is on both sides of the filter. Each glass surface includes one layer of anti-reflection coating.

Q: 4. 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: 5. Is the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter thin enough to allow you to mount the Canon Lens Hood ET-101 on the Canon RF 800mm lens without unscrewing the filter?

A: While the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase at B&H Photo, and has not been directly tested on the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens, it should be possible to use the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter on the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens while using the Canon ET-101 Lens Hood.

Q: 8. Will this filter work with the Nikon 500mm f/4.0P IF ED manual focus lens? Thank you

A: If any filter would work, the B+W would as they are the best make of filter available. With a brass black mount and optically perfect glass, you should not have any problems.
