The Tiffen 43mm UV Protector Filter is an essential, general-use clear filter designed for photographers and videographers who need to protect their valuable lens elements. Its primary function is to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast often present in daylight photography, particularly at high altitudes or near bodies of water. However, its most common application is as a permanent protective layer, shielding the lens from dust, moisture, fingerprints, and scratches without adding any coloration or contrast to the image. Crafted using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology, the filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of precision optical glass and ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, ensuring consistent color and optical accuracy. The durable yet lightweight anodized aluminum ring is designed to fit lenses with a 43mm filter thread. This complete package includes the filter housed in its own protective Tiffen case, offering a practical and reliable solution for lens safety and image quality maintenance. Read more
