Tiffen 82mm UV Protector

For photographers seeking to enhance their image quality and protect their camera equipment, the 82mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is an indispensable tool. This high-quality filter, crafted by the reputable brand Tiffen, is designed to safeguard your camera or camcorder lens against common threats such as dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches.

The primary function of this durable UV filter is to absorb Ultra Violet light, a type of light to which film is more sensitive than the human eye. This sensitivity often manifests as a haze or bluish cast in your photos, particularly when shooting from high altitudes or over long distances, especially over water. By effectively blocking UV light, this filter helps to reduce such distortions, thereby improving the overall image quality.

In addition to its UV-blocking capabilities, this filter also serves as a protective barrier for your lens, warding off dust, moisture, and damage from cleaning. Since it does not absorb normal light and has no effect on color or contrast, it can be kept on your lens at all times, providing constant protection without compromising image quality.

Tiffen offers a range of UV filters with varying absorption levels, including the standard UV filter, the multi-coated UV MC for extra flare protection, and the UV Warm that combines UV filtering with Tiffen's '812' warming filter. There are also several Haze options that absorb different percentages of UV light, and a UV Wide Angle Thin filter specifically designed for use with wide angle lenses.

In summary, the 82mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is an easy-to-use, effective, and affordable solution for both enhancing your photography and protecting your valuable equipment.
