The Tiffen 86mm UV Haze 1 Coarse Thread 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, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting to precision metal rings.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this filter work with the Canon RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM? It's a 77mm lens but extremely wide. I'm concerned about vignetting. I know I could always use an 82mm filter with a step down ring but that is an awkward way to go and the EW-83P wouldn't fit. Are there any UV filters out there that are designed for ultra wide lenses? By any manufacturer?

A: Yes, the B+W UV-Haze #010 MRC MASTER Filter (77mm) has a thin mount and would work on the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM Lens without vignetting.

Q: 2. Any major difference between this one and XS-Pro UV Haze MRC-Nano 010M Filter?

A: Yes, MRC means its multicoated and gives you more resistance against flare, ghosting, and chromatic aberrations just like a multi coated lens would. The nano coating assists in a beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.
