Canon UV 1 58mm Haze Filter

58mm Haze (UV-1) filters are used by many photographers to protect the front element of their lens from abrasions, dust, and moisture. They also have a very subtle warming effect, which can be useful to counter the “cool” colors you sometimes get in bright sun or in shade.

3 Stars Canon 58mm Haze Filter
i wanted a glass lens, but for the price i should have known that this one is made of plastic. otherwise it seems to be a good product for the price.

5 Stars top of the line eqpt & best price I found.
What can you say when the product does what the mfg/supplier says it will do. very pleased.

5 Stars Cheap but good
I didn’t want to spend a ton on a filter and this canon filter seems to be the best bet for that.

1 Star Cracked
I got this with a dent. Can’t use it and don’t want to be bothered to ship back.

5 Stars Well made & feels solid
Smooth threads which turn like silk. No complaints here. Seems like a well made product.

This lens hood shades the lens from stray light, improving your contrast and image quality. In inclement weather, it can assist in keeping moisture or wind-blown debris off the lens, and protects the front barrel from the inevitable impacts against walls, door frames, and other real-life obstacles.

5 Stars good buy
This type of lens protector is very good and looks greeat with the fujifilm s5000. It does its job flawlessly

5 Stars Great Lens Hood!
Whenever using my wide angle at 18mm you can see the edges of the hood slightly, however anything zoomed in at 25mm or more this lens hood proves efficient! And it’s very strong and sturdy (will definitely protect your lens!).

3 Stars Generic 55mm and all plastic
This is reasonably priced for what it is, but it’s a generic threaded hood. The hood ring for a Sony Alpha / Konika-Minolta lense won’t be used.

Since the threads are so fine, the coupler REALLY should be aluminum rather than plastic. You need to be very careful when screwing this on so as to not strip the threads on the hood.

There is an adjustment ring on the back which, once you’re lined up, you can use as a positive stop for future remove/adds and to help keep the hood from spinning loose.
