Tiffen 52CLR 52mm Clear Lens Protection Filter

The Tiffen 52CLR 52mm Clear Filter is a straightforward protective accessory for any lens with 52mm front threading. Its purpose is simple: place a layer of optical glass between your lens element and the outside world. Dust, dirt, sand, moisture, and accidental fingerprints hit the filter instead of your lens, and a filter is far cheaper to clean or replace than a front element. The clear glass introduces no color cast, contrast loss, or light reduction, so it can stay on your lens for every shot.

The 52mm size is one of the most common filter thread diameters, found on a wide range of prime lenses, kit zooms, and compact telephoto lenses. For photographers who shoot in dusty, wet, or unpredictable conditions — or who simply want the reassurance of knowing their lens is protected — the Tiffen 52CLR provides that security with no optical tradeoff. It is manufactured in the United States using Tiffen's standard optical glass production process.
