I now have this amazing filter attached to my Olympus 60mm macro lens. The lens has no lens hood, a bad front cap and obviously no filter. This is now on board, along with a tidy front cap and third-party lens hood. 46mm is a little small and fiddly, but this one has a really good knurled ring that feels good in the hand. The thread is also very smooth and positive. The color balance is imperceptibly different, so it doesn't bother when shooting in well-lit close-ups. I love the improvement on this brilliant lens. ricky

It is a UV filter and like all filters of this type it serves more as a protection than anything else. Don't think that it will prevent flare or allow you to capture backlight in extreme conditions. Maybe you have a little more control over the cross lights, but I don't think it can replace a lampshade. Let's say if you put filters on expensive lenses it's already a success if it doesn't affect the images, and about it can I'm not complaining, on the contrary, it seems to me that the pictures are a little more contrasting and (for me) more pleasant. Very good thread. In short, staying in the real world, it's definitely a good filter, especially given the competitive price.

Surprisingly good for the price. Haven't noticed a negative effect in any situation. I use the filter as lens protection.

ran various tests under different lighting conditions. I didn't notice any chromatic changes or flair. Slim, light and the workmanship looks good. I suggest always using a UV filter, especially to protect the lens from dust, water and scratches. Given the price and first impressions I think this product is really good value for money. Amazon flawless as always in 1 day delivery. Recommended.

bought 4 filters: 3 of 67mm and 1 of 77mm. They came in a nice packaging (carton + a polypropylene box) Visually they all look good. To my eyes there is no visible drop in image quality with this filter compared to. The product looks good. I would give this product 5 stars if I didn't have major complaints about the mechanical part. The 77mm is almost perfect mechanically - a good match for the lenses I've tested it with. The first 67mm filter didn't fit my Canon 24-105mm F4 lens as well as my Fujifilm 18-135mm - it was impossible to screw it in due to the friction - just couldn't get into the thread. The second 67mm was almost perfect - a bit narrower than the Hoya HMC filter but perfectly acceptable. The third 67mm filter is narrower than the second, but I was able to put it on. I have decided to return the first 67mm filter and will keep the other 3 (2 x 67mm and 1x 77mm). Still, my thought is - was it worth the experimentation? I don't know it. The basic Hoya HMC is twice the price but is mechanically perfect. From another perspective, you could buy two of these and keep the one that fits...

High quality filter No distortion in my photos, which was not the case with the cheap filters tried before. I can just recommend her. Mikaël

Very well made and good value for money. But... Unfortunately I had to return this to the retailer as the filter was a bit too wide to accommodate a lens hood, which was a very necessary requirement. The retailer readily accepted the return and had a very good free system for doing so. Well done!

I was looking for a filter that would not be too expensive to mount in a case for the GoPro on the motorcycle. I've already lost a few filters due to the vibrations. This filter not only screws well and fits perfectly, but also surprised me with its quality. In the videos I get in 4K I don't see any distortions or aberrations or lack of sharpness... I recommend this brand.

That's 100% the reason to buy one of these. Think of it like a screen protector for your phone. scratched? throw it away, buy a new one. Dirty or watermarked by the rain? wipe it off The point is that your expensive glass stays safe underneath.

Fantstic does exactly what you need it to do — reducing glare and dust and object protection for the expensive lens behind it. Fits very well and feels quality which suggests about the price. The packaging of a product I doubt you'll ever need to remove is oddly luxurious, unless you use multiple filters. Very impressive
