Tiffen 72HZE 72mm Haze-1 UV Protection Filter

The Tiffen 72HZE Haze-1 Filter is a 72mm UV protection filter designed to reduce the effects of ultraviolet light on your photographs and video. In practical terms, this means cutting through atmospheric haze and minimizing the subtle bluish color cast that UV light can introduce, particularly when shooting at high elevations, near large bodies of water, or in bright open-sky conditions. The filter is optically clear, meaning it does not visibly alter color rendition or require any exposure adjustment, making it suitable for permanent use on your lens.

Beyond its UV-absorbing properties, the Haze-1 serves as a physical barrier protecting your lens's front element from everyday hazards — dust, sand, moisture, fingerprints, and accidental contact. Replacing a damaged filter is significantly less costly than repairing or replacing a lens. Manufactured in the United States, the Tiffen 72HZE maintains the optical consistency and build quality that Tiffen's filter line is known for. It threads directly onto any lens with a 72mm front filter diameter with no additional adapters required.
