Review: Top quality product, essential to block UV, improve colorimetry and protect your valuable lens. - Its Hoya, so its certain to be of excellent quality and it comes in a very smart storage case. I've used Hoya filters for many years, they are the best. Great thing about a UV filter is that if there is no UV it will do nothing - if there is UV it will reduce the blueness of the image. UV is always higher near the sea and at high altitudes, so this filter is essential for taking photographs on the beach, near lakes or in the mountains. It will reduce the blueness and make the colorimetry more natural. And, equally important, it provides cheap, permanent protection for your valuable lens. Just leave it screwed on at all times and your expensive lens will be protected from the damaging acid in fingerprints as well as scratches and dirt. For these reasons I have always kept a UV filter on every lens on all my cameras.
Review: VERY FAST delivery. Competative price. Quality HOYA filter. - Arrived VERY fast; ordered evening and arrived the next morning, well done desertcart :-) This is the 'basic' end of the Hoya range. There are pages and pages of photographic reviews, and too be honest I would expect the far more expensive ones to perform better, however, as an excellent quality 'lens protector' and UV filter this one is very good. I have not noticed any light flare or lens aberration, so one would assume this is how well it mounts to the lens (the lens design) it works very well on my Sony Lenses without any issues. Much thinner than some alternatives, so the lens cap etc still fits. With the High Quality HOYA brand, it is easily worth just a few pounds more than any other cheaper filter rubbish. *TIP* be aware there are LOTS of fake ones out there; this one is genuine; sold, and fulfilled, by desertcart direct so worth the assurance. I WOULD recommend this filter.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ good for canon
*by J***Y on 30 April 2014*

I bought a 'nifty fifty' canon lens and these items fit is just nicely, not all items arrived at the same time, the hoya lens took a long time to arrive, think it came from Germany, since putting this on my camera & with the lens hood & lens cap I do have to be more vigilant as the camera lens cap tends to just 'pop' off. The hoya lens is a good lens and does a very good job of protecting my main camera lens. I'm fairly new to Canon and photography at this level, I would forsake the lens hood in favour of this lens cap. I've heard all good things about 'hoya' but as a novice I'm still finding my feet on this product. Whilst I believe I have the best product I'm happy to keep using it.
