Buying a decent quality filter to protect a good lens can be an exercise in how much one feels like reading often-conflicting reviews and opinions. It's sometimes as bad as reading reviews with comments as to why one DSLR may be better than another, or why one zoom lens may produce 0.2% more barrel distortion than another. But this 

Marumi 52mm DHG MC Lens Protect Slim Filter









 seems to be one of the less pretentious filters in a competitive market.Years ago it was the UV vs. skylight filter argument, and then multicoated filters arrived on the market, and that seemed to change everything. Photographers bought these arguments in many cases, and were often caught up in the maelstrom of getting rid of perfectly good filters for the sake of having the latest and greatest piece of glass on the front of their lens.But along the way something was forgotten, an even older point that was forgotten over the years: drop your lens and the chances are slim that the front glass element will get damaged. It's the filter threads on the front of the lens that usually gets the impact, and as any camera repairman can tell you, this can get costly to the point of being prohibitive in some cases. One good way to protect against this is to use your lens shade; the other is to use a UV, skylight or protective filter. Just because a lens may be reasonably priced is no reason to put a cheap and possibly inferior filter on it. I fortunately have a small supply of the older Nikon 52mm L37C UV haze filters that have been in use for years, but the

 is its multi-coated replacement, and does not affect color balance. It's a protective filter that also reduces glare for outdoor shooting. If you explore here, you'll find others, such as some from Hoya, Sigma and others. It's a subjective choice, but be sure to get a good one.The 

Marumi 52mm DHG MC Lens Protect Slim Filter









 was made in Japan, and came packaged in a rectangular clamshell package with nothing touching the filter surface. Some filters come in soft plastic pouches where the plastic rubs against the surface, which isn't good. It's well made, with no play between the glass and the metal ring. The six-layer low reflective multicoating on this DHG (Digital High Grade) filter keeps reflections from bouncing between the back side of the filter and the front element of the lens. The black non-reflective satin metal frame helps to eliminate reflections, and Marumi notes that a black ink process has been used on the glass edge to eliminate flare. The frame has some slight ribbing on the edge of the metal frame to make it easier for removal when necessary. This is considered to be a low-profile filter, and exhibited no edge vignetting even when stacked with a polarizer.Giving credit where credit is due, I had read various blurbs about the Marumi Super DHG Filters, but a friend who is a sports photographer had personally recommended them highly, noting that they were excellent for guarding against oily smudges and water spots, something that he encounters regularly. Using my 

Nikon MicroKlear Cleaning Cloth









, I found the same, and my review of that cleaning cloth explains a bit more about cleaning techniques used from experience.Bottom line: this is an excellent filter for basic lens protection, and it's more reasonably priced than might be expected. This was purchased to protect a new Nikkor lens that I own, and even though I already have an array of Nikon and Hoya 52mm filters, this seemed to closely resemble the Nikon NC Filter in terms of being color neutral. You may have to search here for your size, but this is a highly recommended 5-star product, and I'm glad that I listened to the advice of my friend.6/4/2012

For my Nikon 50mm. this is best polarized filter i got

"Love at first sight!" That's how I seen and described the item even before opening the safe plastic cover. All the required literatures and information about the product are one that make me fascinated to open it emmediately just to say "wow!" Breakthrough photography is doing their job very well. The 72mm 6-stop fits nicely and evenly with my Fujinon 10-24mm lense. I can attached or detached the lense hood easily with the filter attached because it's so thinly made unlike other brands. I was so much more excited when I doubled check the entire product from side to side, from inside to outside and the overall details were amazingly a good piece of work. I have little info right now as I wrote this review when it comes to the end products with my Fujifilm xpro2 and fujinon 10-24mm and the breakthrough 6-stop ND filter, but as soon I got time to shoot and got some end products (photographs), if time permit, I'll came back to make another review on how the filter works.

Have been searching for a dedicated 112mm filter case ever since the release of the Nikon Z 14-24mm Lens. The case is well made, compact and lightweight, I use Nisi filters, but so far Nisi have not released a dedicated case for 112mm so this will be fine.

This is a great filter, I use it on a Nikon D5600 w/Tamron 10-24mm lens. The only downside is I have to remove the lens hood to use the filter. Typically if you are using a filter it is because you are working outdoors and a good is necessary. I use it strictly for video to maintain a 1/100 shutter speed while shooting exteriors for motion blur accuracy’s. The filter does a great job! Being adjustable has its good side and it’s bad. The bad is sometimes you will adjust for other areas of an outdoor event and the color changes when it should remain fluent. I’m thinking that maybe I should get a fix filter instead of an adjustable. The positive side is, I don’t have to take it off to shoot interiors. I just adjust it down to 0 again. I’d buy this product again, but I’d also like to try a fixed ND filter.D5600Tamron 10-24mm 77mm thread size

Have had my previous ones for.10 years so was afraid to.purchase. these are better than the first

Nikon D700とD7000の２台で風景写真、花のマクロ写真などを撮っています。ポートレイトなどのバウンス用に購入。何より小さくて軽いことと24mmまでカバーされ大変良いです。スナップシューターとしてはこれで十分です。

If you are looking for a polarizing filter, this one works well for the kit lens on a Nikon D90.
