It's a question which seems to provoke plenty of aggravated debate on discussion forums : should you use a filter to protect a lens ?Those who say no argue that an extra layer of glass inevitably degrades the image, which is true.Those who say yes claim that the degradation is minor and unnoticeable in practice, which is also true IF the filter is well made.My opinion is that I'd rather have some tiny loss of image quality in return for the protection afforded by having a filter which helps the front element of a £400 lens stay safe, dust free and defended from any fumbled lens change fingerprints: in the field, I can quickly wipe the filter clean with my t-shirt (or whatever)

I don't think you can really go wrong with Hoya filters. I only use UV filters as a layer of protection for the lens as I often forget the lens cap is already off and invariably touch the filter instead of the lens itself. As with most filters, ghosting does occasionally occur with light sources in frame and dark backgrounds.If you're slightly OCD with lens caps, or find yourself in dusty/water-spray environments, then I do recommend a good UV filter, like these from Hoya.Note:UV(c) = multi-purpose fine-weather filter (Slim Frame, i.e. Thinner profile, 97% light transmission)UV(0) = multi-purpose fine-weather filter (Normal Frame, i.e. Thicker profile, 99.7% light transmission)Now I know the difference,

I've been buying Hoya filters for my lenses since 1999 and never been let down. I use the filters to protect my lens rather than filter out UV rays. Hoya's filter is excellent value compared with some of the other brands. I thought about spending twice as much on Gobe UV 43mm SCHOTT 16-Layer Multi-Resistant Coated Ultra Violet Filter, but decided against as the difference comes down to glass (German versus Japanese) and coatings (UV versus UV+hydrophobic and anti-scratch). In my experience, Japanese glass is as good as German and the extra coatings aren't that important my camera isn't weather-sealed so I don't use it in the rain anyway.

As with other reviewers, I have been convinced to use simple UV filters as protection for my lenses. I have a 52mm and 58mm, both the UV(C) type.This has a slim metal bezel, and hard multi-coated glass, and is well manufactured. It fits nicely on my 50mm lens, and offers a degree of dust and dirt protection, without noticeably affecting the quality of my images. Lots of commentary on the web as to why the UV aspect is probably redundant (UV light doesn't have the same effect on digital sensors as it does on film), but I find the filter works as a lens protector when out and about so I don't need my lens cap all the time and am ready to capture the moment.It is a personal choice as to whether to use a UV filter,

I took the advice of the experts and ordered a filter for my new camera lens. Whilst the improvements to photographic quality are negligible there is certainly no noticeable deterioration in images. Where this particular type of filter scores points is in the protection it offers. As the experts state. "Would you rather spend out on a new lens or a new filter". By fitting this filter your expensive lens won't be getting scratched. This is not the cheapest filter but it is a quality branded product and as I've said it does not detract in any way the image quality. These same Hoya filters are available elsewhere but at a higher price than Snapshots UK is selling. Overall a sensible addition to any camera bag.

Hoya filters are excellent, and if you go to their website, you will find that the HMC (Hoya Multi Coated) series are a step up from the "standard" range. It is very easy to pay more than this for a standard filter, so shop around for the HMC level, which reduces the reflection given by the glass.The visual effect given by a UV filter is very subtle but still clearly visible, especially in sunny landscape shots. They certainly never seem to have an adverse effect, and so are ideal to leave on a lens permanently as a means of protection. If you want to really visibly enhance your outdoor shots, go for a polarising filter, which can be fitted on top of this if you want to,

For once I resisted the obvious temptation to go for the more expensive, 'pro' option. That's the hype as far as I'm concerned and we all swallow it hook line and sinker...don't we?Admittedly, sometimes choosing the cheaper option can be a mistake, but I don't profess to being an expert, or reliant on the product to make me a living. The subtle differences between good and top quality are sometimes so minimal as to be totally lost on the layman. Which is why I went for the cheaper filter, rather than giving in to the blurb.The difference, as I say, is minimal. Its a UV filter and, as far as I'm concerned, does its job and does it well. It protects my lens and makes a significant difference to the quality of shot.

A coated screw on filter I use solely as a protective cover. I have shot a test image outdoors with a Nikon D7000 and a 70-300mm VR Nikon lens with a tripod toward (not into) the dierection of sunlight, with and without this filter and cannot see a difference on my standard computer monitor with the image at 100%. I can not vouch for it's Haze filtering ability It was clear outside. I have two of these now, with a wide lens stopped down you may notice vignetting as this is not a thin rimmed filter, but it does not claim to be, if you need to avoid all vignetting you know what to do. I recommend this as a standard protective filter, I see no reason to pay more with my needs or my equipment.Ordered online through Amazon from WorldTech UK,

On the recommendation that these UV filters were, if nothing else, a great way to protect your lens, I purchased the Hoya 37mm UV(C) filter for my new Olympus PEN E-PL3.These are my thoughts:1) At first I thought there was no glass in the disc because it was so clear. Impressed!2) It fitted the thread perfectly on my M.Zuiko lens. It did not stick or cross-thread. Beautiful engineering!3) When I took a sample photograph of the sky and garden, I am sure the colours were more natural and the definition slightly better with the filter attached.Whether you think a UV filter is necessary or not, I have to say that Hoya made a good impression on me with this first example of their products.

Having finally made the decision to commit to purchasing my first camera, I was encouraged to purchase one of these by a rather earnest Currys PC World employee who attempted to upsell every camera related item possible. He assured me that this filter would protect my expensive lens from damage and given the costs of replacing a lens, I was keen to get the necessary protection. Of course I ran a quick price check and saw that it was a lot more pricier instore so I opted for Amazon. I can't add more to the existing reviews here- the product arrived very quickly and it was very straight forward to screw it into my camera (Nikkon D33000 18-55mm lens) and does not obstruct the lens at all.

I received this item well packed and very fast delivery. Can't ask for much more and the product is what it is the best filter for lens protection. The only downside to using UV filters for lens protection is that if you do smash the filter depending on the angle and nature of the impact the UV filter can shatter and cause scratching to the lens. The glass used is not shatter proof so beware! It was quite time consuming and difficult to get all the small fragments of glass that get trapped in the mechanism removed. I still think this is a risk worth taking as the filter ring acted as a sacrificial corner protection to my lens.

I bought this filter mainly to protect the lens on my Canon EOS 1000D, it arrived very quickly and was in a small plastic box which can be used for storage when the filter is not on the camera. The filter was very clean with no marks or dust. Have only used the camera once so far since fitting the filter and have not noticed any difference in the pictures taken. I chose this filter because it was in the mid price range of those that I had looked at and was from a manufacturer that I was aware of, and the reviews for it were very good. The filter looks well made, fitting smoothly onto the lens and the lens cap fits securely onto the filter.

I like Hoya products, and have never found them to be anything but first class, this is no exception, protects the lens, and that is its main purpose for me, get this if you get a new lens, cause its cheaper to replace this than the £500+ for a new lens, all my lenses have a Hoya UV filter on them, would not go without!!Further to this using this permanently on my lens, it is a great protector and causes no problems in colour quality or sharpness, its big test will be the Australian Desert in a couple of weeks time, but not expecting anything other than the excellent protection it provides, I have also used it in conjunction with a Polarizer Filter and again no loss of quality etc.

I was worried about buying a lens cover as I'd read some bad reviews of them on Amazon but really wanted something to protect my lens. I went for the Hoya cover as the less well-known brands had some really awful reviews. I chose this one instead of the more expensive one as I was on a budget and could do with saving the money - I just hoped that the saving didn't compromise too much on quality! I'm glad I didn't go for the more expensive one as this lens cover seems to be just fine - it does screw on well to the lens but inexplicably has popped off once (I think that may have been my own fault).

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.
