Product Description
Black and white imaging records only tonal differences between colored objects, which appear as black, white, or different shades of gray. Proper rendition depends on your own desires, and, for film, the differences between film sensitivity to colors and that of the eye. The latter is due to the fact that most panchromatic emulsions used are more sensitive to blue, violet and ultraviolet than to other colors. Therefore, blue appears as lighter on film than it does to the eye. This can make a blue-sky light enough to appear a similar shade of light gray as the clouds that are in it, making the clouds "disappear."The Yellow 15 enhances landscapes, marine scenes and aerial photography with more dramatic effects than Yellow 8.

I have taken some awesome pictures with this...My outdoor action shots are soooo good that people are offering me more money than what I'm asking for them...Thanks Tiffen for protecting my SIGMA 24-70 F/2.8 82mm lens and providing another good product for me to bragg on.
Tiffen 82mm filter good deal August 16, 2007

The price on Amazon is what makes this Tiffen 82mm filter a good deal. Most professional photographers were not pleased to learn that Canon had upped the diameter of its relatively new 16-35mm f2.8 lens to 82mm, which makes it incompatable with the mostly 77mm diameter L-series lenses in the Canon lineup in terms of filter use.
Bottom line: Buy this product so that you protect the glass surface of your expensive lens, which will cost a heck of a lot more to replace than a filter.
 Excellent price, good quality January 3, 2007

Tiffen offers better than average quality at a decent price. This is no exception. This same filter would have cost me twice as much if I bought it at a local store.
Surprisingly good (except in one situation, which it will create internal reflection) October 8, 2006

This UV filter does it job to protect the lens well. The build is solid (metal construction). The glass is also descent quality.
About the performance, it absorbs some UV light. The UV light absorbtion is hardly noticeable, probably the sky 1-A and the haze filter version will absorb more UV light than this lens which is fine for me.
Now, about the one problem which is the internal reflection. I've heard many people say that it mostly happens during night or low light shooting. I found out that it is not caused directly by the low light/night situation. The internal reflection will appear when there is a strong/bright source of light in comparison to the overall exposure (the surrounding environment). To put it in example (which hopefully is easier to understand), when you take a picture of a lamp during nightime and the light is much brighter than the surrounding area then you will see the internal reflection. as you move the position of the light to be closer to the sides/corner of the picture (and not in the center of the picture), the internal reflection reduces and finally dissapear (if you move the light far enough from the center). And if the light isn't too bright/contrast compare to the surrounding environment then there will be no internal reflection. but of course most of the time, a lamp at nightime is often very bright. But the point that I'm trying to make is that the internal reflection doesn't happen all the time during low light or night time.
Additionally, the internal reflection isn't only happening at night. it can also happen in the afternoon if you are taking a picture of a sun for example. basically same rule as above, on how bright is the light source compared to the surrounding area, and as you move the sun from the center of the photo and near the side the internal reflection will move to the side/dissapear (also depending the angle). But the best way is just to remove the filter during these situations.
Hope this explanation helps you to reduce the occurence of internal reflection by identifying correctly when the internal reflection will occur and then remove the filter during those situation (which is not hard to do).
I'm actually not a fan of lens filter (any filter) as I think it will only degrade picture quality as we added another layer between the sensor and object, but I decided to use them anyway for all my lens. And I would recommend everyone to get one of this filter if you don't have any filter for your lens yet.
Excellent value for a reasonable price July 16, 2006

I bought this filter to keep sand and dust out of my Sigma 20mm 1:1.18 EX DG Aspherical lens. It does a great job of that and has slightly improved the clarity of full sunlight shots to boot.
I'd buy a Tiffen lens filter again in a heartbeat.
