Protect Your Camera with a Tiffen UV Filter or Polarizer Filter

Tiffen 58 Millimeter UV Protection Filter

I've written a lot of reviews on digital cameras, some expensive, some not, but (in the most expensive cameras) an overriding concern I've had with them is that there's a lot of money invested in the lenses but very little in the way of protecting those lenses. That's where a good Tiffen UV Protection Filter or Tiffen Polarizer glass filter comes in handy!

If you are searching for a great, cheap way to protect your lens from scratches or even from breakage, then a Tiffen UV protection filter is your best choice. Originally designed to protect the lens from harmful UV rays, most modern lenses are coated to protect from UV damage already.

But the Tiffen UV filters come in handy as a protection unit because they are clear and should not affect the picture quality at all (as long as they are clean). If you choose to leave the Tiffen UV filter on at all times, they also serve as an additional layer of protection from dust and dirt that might accumulate on the lens itself. Tiffen UV filters are the top choice for photographers, as they are known as one of the better made filters, plus they are extremely cheap: far cheaper than needing to purchase a new lens for that expensive camera!

For extra protection plus the removal of glare or to increase saturation, you'll want to check into a Tiffen Polarizer glass filter. Just like a Tiffen UV filter, you can leave the Tiffen Polarizer filter on around the clock (except in extremely dark locations) and use it as an additional layer of protection against scratches or the chance of breaking your expensive lens.

Where the Tiffen Polarizer is different is that it also can reduce the glare associated with wildlife or landscape photography where the sun causes too much glare on your subjects. A Tiffen Polarizer filter will also saturate your photos with more color, bringing out the reds in your subjects, darkening the skies behind clouds, and just giving more life overall to your photos.

A Tiffen Polarizer filter does tend to cost a bit more than a standard Tiffen UV filter, but that's obviously because it is expected to do more to enhance your photos than the UV filter, which is mainly to protect the lens from UV rays.

If protection of your expensive camera lenses is your most important priority, and you want to save money, then we strongly recommend the use of a Tiffen UV filter. Depending upon the size of lens you need the filter to fit, the cost can be as low as $9 each for a 52mm filter or as high as $50 for the largest filters such as an 82mm filter. Tiffen Polarizer filters, on the other hand, are more expensive with a starting price of around $20 for the smallest filters and increasing up to $200-$300 for a titanium 77 millimeter filter. Of course, based on materials used, you can go just about as high as you could want to get better quality materials for both the UV and Polarizer filters, but if we're into saving money, then the standard filters should suffice.

Tiffen filter kits are also available which usually include not only a UV filter and a Polarizer, but also a warming filter. If you need both of the filters we've discussed, you might just want to swing for the Tiffen filter kit and get all three at the same time.
