Tiffen 62UVP 62mm UV Filter - Lens Protection

The Tiffen 62UVP is a 62mm UV protection filter built to serve as a permanent, low-profile shield for your camera lens. Its primary function is twofold: it absorbs ultraviolet light that can cause a bluish cast in outdoor and high-altitude photography, and it acts as a physical barrier between the elements and your lens's front glass. The impact-resistant glass surface can take minor bumps and contact that would otherwise risk scratching or chipping an expensive lens element, making it a practical form of insurance for photographers who shoot in the field.

The filter ring is constructed from anodized aluminum, keeping weight to a minimum while resisting corrosion from moisture and handling. At just 2.08 ounces, the filter adds negligible heft to your setup. It threads directly onto any lens with a 62mm filter diameter — simply look for the Ø62mm marking on your lens barrel. While the Tiffen 62UVP uses uncoated glass rather than multi-coated optics, it provides a clean, optically neutral result for general-purpose photography. For shooters who frequently encounter strong backlighting or need the highest flare resistance, a coated filter may be preferable, but for day-to-day lens protection and UV reduction, the 62UVP is a dependable, affordable choice.
