Product Description
These 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. They're available in sizes to fit most EF lenses. TYPE: Screw-in

Good but don't see much difference August 7, 2008
Photic (Stamford, CT)
I am using this UV filter for around an year along with my Canon G9. To be true don't see much difference in the output with the filter. The price of canon is always much more compared to the others. I would recommend you to explore other filters that would be cheap and would serve your purpose.

If your a newbie to DSL's like I am and you read to better your skill's, you can see it mentioned often "-to put on a protective filter over your expensive lense." I got one like this with a camera bag/kit and ordered up another one for my telephoto. It's glass/clear and has a metal ring. I'm not real sure about the haze part of this description but think Safety Glasses for your lenses. The price isn't all that bad, I don't think.
Canon UV-1 filter for the win July 28, 2008

The quality of this product is very good. Feels much nicer than some of the cheap alternatives. I can't really say for sure how much this helps reduce the so called "haze" but I will say that it's definitely reassuring to have a protective layer between the outside world and your expensive lenses. I would recommend this product for any one who has a lens that they value.

Thru the years, I have used UV filters on all of my photo equipment, including my newest Digital Canon, (READ my Review) for the following reasons, which may help you in several ways:
The Canon UV-1 58mm Haze filter -
* A 'Physical Protection barrier' for the front element of the lens. (Probably the Most
Important Reason), and here's Why:
* Protecting the Front Lens unique "Chromatic Coating". This 'coating' is what separates all
lenses, if the Glass is all equal, even within the same manufacturer, into categories from a
Good lens, all the way to a Superior one. Example - Minolta's Celtic vs Rokkor lenses
* Protection from dirt, dust, abrasions, and moisture. (The front lens is where all light &
images come thorough, that's recorded on film or microchip, so any Lens scratches,
abrasions, or smudges, all get recorded too). This ALSO keeps you from Damaging the
Chromatic Lens Coating!
* Easy Screw-in type, Easy to Change & Easy to Clean. That's 3 Easy's, People!
* Produce a very subtle 'Warming Effect', useful to counter the "Cooler" SHIFT and/or Colors
you sometimes get with some 'Lenses' or in bright sun or in shade. Example: Panasonic &
Pentex and some others have produced lenses with a 'Cool-Shift' lens coating and/or
microprocessor. - What this also means is that your Images will have to be 'Hue Corrected'.
* Very affordable with Excellent Benefit's. I usually buy in Pairs, so that I might have a spare,
just in case, and all pro photographers, bank on it. Just part of the 'must-have add-on's'.
