Product Information
Full details
The Tiffen UV Protector Filter is an essential accessory for professional and amateur photographers who want to safeguard their expensive glass while improving image clarity. Ideal for landscape, travel, and everyday street photography, it excels at reducing the bluish haze caused by UV light at high altitudes or near water. While it provides excellent protection, users should be aware that adding any glass element to a lens can potentially introduce minor lens flare when shooting directly into bright light sources.

FAQs
Can I keep this filter on my lens all the time?
Yes, the Tiffen UV Protector is designed to be a permanent protective layer that does not affect color or contrast.
Will this filter fit my lens?
This filter fits any lens with a 95mm filter thread size. Check the underside of your lens cap or the front of your lens barrel for the diameter symbol.
Does this filter change the color balance of my photos?
No, it is neutral and clear, meaning it will not introduce any color casts.
Can I stack this filter with a circular polarizer?
Yes, but be aware that stacking filters can sometimes cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
How do I safely clean the glass?
Use an air blower to remove dust first, then gently wipe with a clean microfiber cloth in circular motions.
Is the metal ring durable?
Yes, it is constructed from a precision metal ring designed for frequent attachment and removal.
Troubleshooting
The filter is stuck and won't unscrew from the lens.
Use a dedicated rubber lens filter wrench to gain a better grip and apply even pressure while unscrewing counter-clockwise.
Images appear blurry or soft.
Remove the filter and inspect the surface for fingerprints, oil, or smudges. Clean using a clean microfiber cloth and lens cleaner.
Increased lens flare in night shots.
If shooting bright light sources against a dark background, remove the filter to eliminate reflections between the filter glass and the lens element.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Protects expensive front lens elements from environmental hazards
- Reduces bluish haze in outdoor and high-altitude photography
- No impact on image contrast or color fidelity
- High-quality optical glass construction for lasting durability
Cons
- Can cause minor lens flare when pointed directly at the sun
- Large 95mm size adds a small amount of weight to the front of the lens
- Requires periodic cleaning to maintain optical clarity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, gently screw the filter clockwise onto the front filter threads of your 95mm lens. Do not overtighten, as this can make removal difficult. For maintenance, use a high-quality lens blower to remove loose dust before using a microfiber cloth to clean the glass. If smudges persist, apply a small amount of dedicated lens cleaning solution to the cloth—never directly to the glass. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use to prevent deep scratches. Ensure your lens diameter is exactly 95mm before purchase, as this filter is not compatible with smaller or larger lens thread sizes without a step-up or step-down adapter.
