82mm Super Clear 24 Layers Multi Coated Ultraviolet Protection Lens Filter for DSLR Lens (Nano-D Series)
SKU: KF01.1780
UV filters don't do very much from an optical standpoint, but I sometimes use one to add a layer of protection for my camera lens.
If I am in a windy or dusty environment, I pop on a UV filter. I also like to use one when it is rainy to keep water droplets off my lens. It is much easier to remove and clean a not-to-expensive filter than it is to clean an expensive camera lens. I try to carry UV filters of appropriate diameters for the lenses I use.
Mechanical and optical quality are good as far as I can discern. The filter threads smoothly onto my Nikon lens.
This vendor offers wide variety of filters. Pricing seems very reasonable

If you look at the photos you can see my Canon lens with major scratches. This is what happens when a guest hits your camera with a big ring! The lens still works but the value is gone. This is why you need a little extra lens protection when shooting. I can't believe I never purchased a filter for this lens. Just like driving, it's the other guy that will cause an accident and you end up paying the price. In the other photos, you can see a side angle of the new filter. It is thin and fits this, Sony, 24-105 just fine. The Lens hood fits over the filter and the lens cap works without any issues. The filter itself looks like very high-quality glass.

I have a number of these filters for various size lens… not expensive but also nicer than the cheapos…

I put something on all my outdoor lenses to protect them, and I like to use a UV filter to cut a little of the normal haze shooting in beachlike settings. I usually use something pricier, but decided to try the K&F Concept 52mm MC UV Protection Filter.
It arrived in a slightly wider than normal filter box. The box was slightly larger because the filter was packed in a latching plastic box with foam protecting the filter from damage. I looked at the filter under a magnifying light, and it was flat and smooth with no scratches or oddities. It fit my 45-150mm lens perfectly, and it really is a low profile filter. It doesn't seem to affect lens sharpness, doesn't affect clarity, and I'm pleased with it.
I'm quite happy with this UV filter. Is this filter as good quality as one of my $50 B+Ws? Possibly not, but on the other hand, the B+Ws cost over twice as much, and you'd have to be a pixel peeper to notice the difference in image quality. Viewing my pics at 100%, I'm satisfied.

Thin, light and no interference with af. Protects my expensive lens from careless mistakes and improves picture sharpness on hazy days. Mounted on a telephoto zoom, so can't say if there's any vignette problems on wide angle or not. Threads are aluminum, be aware of that if you don't like aluminum threads on filters.

You never really know if something like a little filter can actually provide protection for your lens. My bag holding my camera fell. I checked it out and the filter was shattered but the lens seemed perfectly okay. Don’t know if it prevented any damage to the lens but I’m very happy I had it on! Whew!

Great UV protection filter that doesn't add anything to your photos. No color shift, no blue cast, no blurring ... nothing. Just a crystal clear UV filter to give you piece of mind that your lens is protected. The slim design is nice because it doesn't produce any vignetting. Can't beat this quality!

I'm a believer in protecting your lens. This is a great value that does not introduce any distortion. Highly recommended.

I have a Black Mist Pro 1/8 filter that I use quite a bit, but wanted to try a 1/4 for a more pronouced "bloom" in connection with a dream sequence I was shooting. I saw the K&F 1/4 black diffusion filter for about 20% less than the cost of a Black Mist Pro, so I thought I would give it a try. I've used K&F filters before and have always been pleased with them, even though they are perceived by some "pros" as lower-quality filters. I'm happy to say that the K&F 1/4 black diffuser is every bit as good as the Black Mist Pro equivalent, achieving exactly the effect I was after with no distortion or color cast. And if you take into consideration the magnetic docking system, I would say it's even better than the Black Mist Pro filter (this is the first magnetic filter I have used, and I'm hooked). The price to value ratio for this filer is excellent.
