Overview
Key Features
Protective 55mm UV filter: Guards your camera lens from scratches, dust, moisture, and impacts while maintaining full image clarity during everyday shooting. Especially useful for high altitude and outdoor photography where the sun's UV rays are especially prominent.
Made from Premium Optical Glass: High-quality optical glass ensures excellent clarity, durability, and consistent performance for professional and enthusiast photographers alike
Slim Aluminum Filter Ring: Low-profile frame prevents vignetting, even when used on wide-angle lenses all the while remaining lightweight and secure to your lens.
Clear Color-neutral Performance: Ideal for continuous use as a protective filter without affecting exposure, contrast, or color balance. You can add another filter on top without worrying about any loss in image quality.
Confident Compatibility : Before adding to cart, confirm your lens thread size by checking the front rim of your camera lens for the “Ø” symbol followed by a millimeter measurement, such as Ø58mm. Make sure you are checking the filter mm size, not the lens focal length, as not all modern lenses display the filter symbol Ø size on the lens. Select the filter with the same mm size as the lens filter mm size to ensure the proper fit to your lens.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this UV filter affect image quality or sharpness?
The Tiffen 55UVP is made from clear optical glass designed to be optically neutral. Under normal shooting conditions, it should not produce any noticeable loss in sharpness or contrast.
How do I know if this filter fits my lens?
Check your lens for the diameter symbol (Ø) followed by a number. If it reads Ø55mm, this filter will thread directly onto your lens. The filter size is not related to focal length.
Can I leave this filter on my lens all the time?
Yes, many photographers keep a UV filter permanently mounted as a protective barrier against dust, fingerprints, and accidental scratches, since replacing a filter is far less expensive than repairing a lens.
Does this filter reduce lens flare or ghosting?
This is a basic UV protection filter without multi-coating. It will reduce ultraviolet haze and bluish color casts, but it does not include anti-reflective coatings specifically designed to minimize flare or ghosting.
