Exactly as they are supposed to work. Used to take solar eclipse. Worked perfectly.

Bought this and a solar filter and iPhone holder for the 8/21 solar eclipse. Served its purpose very well.

I really liked this filter. I got this filter with the intention of the Solar eclipse that just occured. I am very happy that I got it and will be using again.

This UV filter has been a great addition to my Tamron 35mm for my sony. This filter is definitely more of a protector than a modifier at least in my use case, it helps to protect the exposed focusing mechanism of the lens and makes sure that no dust or particulates get into the lens. Overall I would say that this is a great filter to put on any lens as it adds a barrier between the front element and the world, and I didn't notice any negative effects on image quality by having this filter on the lens.

I was specifically looking for binoculars for the eclipse and somehow got routed to these without realizing that they are NOT solar safe binoculars. My bad for not reading the description well enough. They seem to be pretty decent binoculars, though, even if I have no use for them. Maybe I'll take up bird watching or something...

Finally got to use my new filter. Purchased specifically to take pictures of the solar eclipse. Worked as expected and couldn't be happier. Would definitely buy again.

I do not use these for the UV filter but as a good quality, low cost lens protector. That said:My 1st Tiffen was a 55mm UV Protector I got for the kit lens that came with a Sony a7ii; an FE 28-70. I was so happy with the purchase that I have since purchased three additional Tiffen UV Protection Filters. One is on a Sony E 55-210 I bought used and one is on a Samyang 35mm I bought new. The one I am writing this review for I assume is still on the Sony FE 50mm I bought new but returned and forgot to remove the filter.The point? I treat my lenses, new or used, like I treat a cell phone. That being the phone stays in the box until I have a protective case for them and lenses stay in the box until I have a protective filter to pair them with. And the one I forgot to remove from the returned lens? That is how confident in the Tiffen filters I am. Once I put one on a lens, I never need to think about it again.I have used several brands in several sizes ranging from the cheaper Altura and Polaroid to the mid range Hoya and B & W.Where does Tiffen fit? Well they are no Hoya or B & W but I am no professional photographer. I am an amateur who mostly enjoys street photography when I travel and for my money Tiffen is the best. Yes, you can spend more and get better glass and if you really have reason to worry about ghosting you should look for a higher end lens. That isn't me saying ghosting has been a problem for me. I normally use a lens hood and I think that helps cut down on light reflection. I have noticed some minor issues with it on some shots I have taken in direct bright light conditions but not enough to justify the higher price.I do not stack filters as I haven't had a need to so I can not give an opinion on that topic. I would assume that the risk of ghosting would increase.The short version is this. The Tiffen UV Protection Filter is well made with good quality glass and a metal ring with threading I do not worry will cross thread or strip. They do what I need by protecting my lens. If I was buying a ND or polarizers I might buy a more costly brand but for everyday protection, Tiffen is all I need and the best for my money.Tiffen say it best in their own product description; A small price to pay to protect your investment.

Great filter but I was looking to use it for last years eclipse and read everything that was on the site about using for the eclipse. Fortunately an astronomer friend kept me from burning out my equipment but showed me other uses for this filter.
