Pros: Protects Lens
Cons: Only 1 function, Price
Review: I think I got hosed, I don’t think that an extra expensive HMC UV filter can be that different from cheap ones. Erring on the side of caution, you can expect that it doesn’t add any color cast, or vignetting, but com’on, its a piece of glass.
Rationalization: Tell yourself that Canon/Nikon/Zeiss etc. would only choose the highest quality UV filter, and if you already spent 300+ dollars on a lens, why risk messing up the IQ or the lens itself? Penny wise, pound foolish? – seriously though, is 50 dollars reasonable for a round piece of glass? I don’t think so, but I’m not willing to learn the hard way.

It looks good…came in the mail 6 days later on first class USPS. I was juiced when I got it but now I see that it doesn’t fit my two lenses. I’m sure this is my mistake. I tried to called Cameta camera but they are now closed at 7pm. I got it for a gift; I have a birthday wishlist on here, so hopefully returning it won’t be too hard.
***** Couldn’t return it. Cameta camera said they don’t do refunds when purchased from the amazon website which is lame. Oh well, it’s still sitting here. Hell, if anyone wanted it I’d sell it for $5 bucks just so they could have it. I ended up purchasing something else… another brand and got 3 rings with different tints for a little cheaper and works well.

This is THE most comfortable and well made bag out there (i.e. Kata bags in general, but especially this one). I recently attended a photo-shoot with advanced amatures and a few pros here in Sweden. The 3 Americans that attended all used this bag… It cracked me up, but seriously, this is a great bag to have and highly recommended. Not waterproof, but it was down-pooring and none of us had any problems (we all used our rain shields). The “canon” and “Nikon” bags scream “steal me”. Kata bags say in a gentle way that you’re serious about photography (but only to those who know…).

I had this filter for about 2 months and the glass just popped out. Not sure why, but it did not seem to be well seated in the filter. I am not particularly happy about this and probably will not by a Hoya filter again.
