Best Uv Filters

[UV] This is my go to for UV filters.

[0.475 lb] Great UV filters, use one on every lens.

[Rectangle] Can't go wrong with Canon UV Protector Filters!

[0.505 lb] This review for this Chiaro filter is pretty much the same I've given for their other filters I own. I've been using Chiaro Filters for several years now and I really like them. I ONLY use the UV filters to protect my lenses from the elements and the Chiaro 99 Series pass virtually 100% of the light. For the record.. With Digital Photography the filters have virtually no UV effect like they once did with film. The argument that they do is almost completely false. With film cameras it was necessary to use a UV filter because film is extremely sensitive to UV light. However, digital sensors are generally insensitive to UV, so the problem doesn't arise to anything like the same extent. The exceptions of course are Specialty Filters which do perform their function such as Polarizers and ND. I have seen some evidence that for certain lenses a UV filter can reduce the purple fringing caused by longitudinal chromatic aberration. The purple fringing of longitudinal chromatic aberration only occurs in particular circumstances and is not the same as the much more common colored fringing caused by lateral chromatic aberration (most noticeable in the corners of the frame). My personal experience and tests with and without a filter is that these effects are almost always insignificant and do not provide good enough reason for using UV filters on a regular basis with digital cameras except for why I do, Protection of the lens glass from the elements. It's certainly less expensive to replace a filter that repair a damaged front element.

[0.25 lb] Filters are cheaper than lenses if you have a problem, living in Florida UV is high

[5.6 x 5.4 x 1"] Sigma has some of the best filters and lens. This is my third filter and ordering 1 more. Great coatings. I always get the UV filters.
