Summary: Flare on strong light source, fine otherwise
Comment: I have owned this 67mm UV Protection Filter for about a month, being used with my 18-105mm Nikon lens.

The protection filter works as advertised (from Tiffen's own words: "It protects the actual lens from dust, fingerprints, and other small substances that can harm image results. The filter is also easier to keep clean. That's why it should always remain on your camera.") and has so far protected the actual lens from any dust or smudges. I am also less fearful of wiping any dirt on the filter (compared to where the dirt was on the lens itself); the filter is cheap and can be replaced easy.

It mounts on lens via the filter thread very well; it is neither loose that it will fall off nor too tight that it is difficult to remove. The filter also has threads so you can stack other 67mm filters and it works just as well---I have tried it with a 67mm Neutral Density 0.9 filter. The texture and finish of the filter's metal ring is a bit strange to my hands, though, but only because it did not match the texture and finish of the lens. The Tiffen 67mm UV Protection filter also accepts the original lens cap that came with the 18-105mm Nikon lens with not much issues.

I am quite happy with the filter if not for the fact that it gives an unsightly flare when pointed to a strong light source and not just the sun. If this is not an problem for you then this filter will serve you well. Otherwise, I would recommended a multicoated (and more expensive) 67mm UV Protection filter instead, which prevents (or at least minimises) flares.

Happy shooting.

Summary: Filter Kit
Comment: Unfortunately, the filters didn't fit my Nikon D80. I was little disappointed since in the product description Nikon D80 was one of the camera for this product. However, I had no problem returning the product and receiving refund. The photo company was very helpfull.

Summary: Don't buy this for your L lens!
Comment: People- please, think! If you're spending over $1000 on a precision piece of optics, why would you put an cheap window pane in front of it? It sucks that filters cost a bit of money, but seriously, you need to get something that's at least multicoated, and preferably B&W or Heliopan or some other good brand. For a $200 lens, this is fine. But it breaks my heart to see this "bundled" with an $1100 L lens.

Summary: Good filter for protection
Comment: This is a handy filter just to carry around. I use it on my Tamron f/2.8 28-75mm for protection. I use it for day and night shot, and there are no significant reflections. For the price, it is a great deal. It has protected my lens from harsh conditions of traveling around Europe and South Africa.
