Product Description
People often associate sepia-toned images with "early times". This makes Sepia filters useful tools for producing believable flashbacks and for period effects with color film. Other colors are still visible, which is different from original sepia-toned photography, but appear infused with an overall sepia tint. Tiffen offers three types: #1, a mild version to enhance cool/bluish lighting such as outdoor shade, and overcast daylight; #2, twice the color density of the first, with applications for flashbacks and setting a "period" atmosphere; and the #3, which has the same sepia coloration as the second, but also combines a mild fog effect, which works very well together in many situations.

 No Complaints August 29, 2008
I had just recieved this for my Canon Digital Rebel XTi Camera and it works great! Just screw it into the lens and you are set and ready to go! The price I found on this was $6.99 and does not change often if at all when I have checked...For that price it is absolutly great because it saves a lens thats worth $500
Great value for inexpensive lenses August 1, 2008

At a range between $7 and $10, this is one of the best values and investments out there. What is it actually used for? A UV filter has two primary purposes: to filter out unwanted ultra-violet light and to protect the lens. For most general photography applications, you will not notice the difference in UV light. Only when you have intense sunlight at a specific angle will you start to notice the UV light. It will not alter your photos and their lighting negatively, so you can pretty much leave this filter on all the time. This filter doesn't do that great of a job in actually filtering out harsh light at the ultra-violet spectrum, but if you're an amateur photographer, you won't need that function. If you do encounter a lot of harsh UV light (you live out in the desert or in Alaska), then you should consider a different filter. As an advanced but non-professional photographer who averages 500 photos indoors and outdoors per week, I have not yet encountered any harsh UV light that this filter cannot block.
I use this on my Canon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, and I pretty much never take it off. This filter will protect your lens from scratches to the glass. When you get smudges (which you will) on this filter, you just wipe the filter or remove it and clean it. It's much easier to clean this filter than the glass on the lens. But the most important part is that this filter serves as insurance for your lens. If something comes flying at your lens, you have a choice of replacing a $7 filter or a $150 lens. It's a no-brainer!
Now, this filter is useful for either the amateur photographer or the advanced photographer who has a relatively cheap lens (a $150 lens is considered CHEAP compared to $950 for the Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS). If you own a more expensive lens, you'd want to go with a better filter, such as one from Hoya or B+W. But if you own the Canon Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 IS or an L lens, you know that already.
All in all, I gave this filter 5 stars because of its great value. If it costs $20, I would have reduced it to 4 stars. Considering its use, you cannot beat this product.

Tiffen is always a good call if you need filters. They consistently make good glass, and they are relatively inexpensive filters, especially on Amazon.

DO NOT BUY THIS JUNK... spend a little more and get better quality. I wish I'd read these reviews first. They mention that the threads on this filter are not well made... I put it on the camera and couldn't get it off. Took ten minutes to loosen it. I tried again...this time not tightening it. Same problem. It is in the trash. I wouldn't even give it away.

Everyone should have a UV filter screwed onto the end of each of their lenses. It's a lot cheaper to replace one of these when it gets scratched than a lense. This does what it's supposed to do.
