Query: Good for PROTECTION only

If you're looking for a filter that successfully filters UV light to get those wonderfully contrasted images you might be imagining, you're better off getting something else.The product description here and on Tiffen's website can be a bit misleading for someone who doesn't read it carefully, but essentially this filter is just another piece of glass made for protecting the main lens. After a few test images taken against a desk lamp I did find that the filter did produce more glare at *certain* angles BUT for regular shooting in a moderately well lit area it did just as fine as the lens by itself.Ultimately, I did buy this for protection purposes, as I would much rather have this ten dollar-ish filter break than spend $400+ to replace my lens if it ever gets scratched. For THIS purpose, this filter is sturdy and sufficient. Nothing special, nothing much to complain about. 4 stars.
