Nikon 52mm Screw-on NC Filter

I'm not sure why I feel compelled to spend $35. Nikon's glass was valued at 00. But I do. My Nikon lenses are all expensive, and the glass protects them from dirt, smoke, sand, and other contaminants. I buy them because of this. br>br>An alternative to the Nikon is to use a cheaper lens. However, for the money, Nikon provides clear, nearly optically perfect glass. br>br>What you pay for is exactly what you get. I read a reviewer's comment that his photos look the same with and without the filter. It's a piece of finely ground and polished glass, and that's exactly how they should appear. The lens is safeguarded by it. There are no other options.

This filter is perfect, and it gets 5 stars. I purchased the Nikon clear filter because I was skeptical of the offbrand options based on reviews. So far, I've purchased three of these, one for each lens, and they've all produced excellent results. I'm using it with Nikon D3300 lenses, for those who are curious. br>br>If you're going to buy a lens, I strongly advise getting one for each lens to use as a permanent protector. I've heard both sides, and I'm glad I did because it was a relatively low-cost insurance policy for a much more expensive lens. Maybe you don't need one if you're very careful and don't do much outside, but we like to leave the lens cap off for long periods of time when we're taking intermittent photos while out and about. We've gotten a lot of smudge marks on the lens as a result of constantly taking the lens cap on and off, and the lens cap is much easier to clean than the lens itself. You also don't have to worry about damaging any of the fancy lens coatings by cleaning too much. br>br>It's very simple to set up. The only real tricks are to work quickly to avoid dust and to thread backwards first. I prefer to work in a quiet room at home, quickly opening the filter and placing it on the end of the lens. Then I back-thread the filter onto the lens until the threads line up with a slight click. After that, I thread the filter onto the lens, and I've never had a problem with cross-talk. This method is used for threading.

I have three Nikkor lenses as well as three of these filters. The Nikkor 18 - which I own - is an excellent camera. Nikkor 55mm f/55mm f/55mm f/55mm f/55mm Lenses with a focal length of 200mm and a focal length of 35mm Every time I buy a new lens, I also buy this filter to go with it, and I never take it off. The purpose of having a filter for each lens is fairly straightforward. What good is a filter for protection if it exposes the lens every time you switch filters during a shoot? When the filter is removed from the lens, it is exposed to the elements of your surroundings, even if only for a short time. Once the filter is removed, the lens is exposed to dust, lint, sand, or any of the thousands of other things that can damage a lens, such as finger prints, scratches, and so on, regardless of how quickly it was removed. br>br>After reading all of the reviews, I'd like to clarify a few points. To begin with, it is true that when you remove the filter from its packaging, it is so clear that it appears as if the glass was left out. I'm very particular about my gear and prefer to get things right the first time, so I've taken a lot of photos with and without the filter, with only a few instances of minor lens flare when using the filter. Those few instances were insufficient to convince me to forego the filter and risk scratching or otherwise damaging my lens. br>br>Another thing I keep hearing about is the high cost, which perplexes me because I usually use B. I was hesitant to buy this filter because of the low price, but after reading the reviews and relying solely on the Nikon name, I decided to give it a shot, and I'm glad I did. The cost of this filter is lower than the cost of the B filter. W and, in my opinion, works just as well as, if not better than, the aforementioned brand. br>br>The old adage "penny wise, pound foolish" applies here, as paying $200 for a lens and not spending the extra $20 to protect it is a very foolish decision. br>br>The last point I'd like to make is that clear/neutral, UV, Polarizing, and other filters are not the same and will change or not change your photos depending on which you use. These days, most lenses, especially higher-end lenses, are multi-coated and do not require a UV filter, as they did in the days before digital cameras and early digital cameras. The clear/neutral filter, such as this one, serves a single purpose: to protect your lens investment. The filter won't save your lens if you slam it against a wall or drop it from the third floor of a building, but it will protect it from dust, dirt, sand, finger prints, and other contaminants that come with everyday use. br>br>These are merely my personal opinions, so take them as such.

This Nikon 77mm Screw-in Lens is exactly what you'd expect from a Nikon product. Lens Filter is a high-quality filter that can be used on a variety of lenses. quality that accomplishes its goal without degrading the quality or color of my photographs However, after almost exclusively using Nikon filters for the past few years, I believe I prefer the look and durability of German-made filters. BW lens filters were created. The Nikon lens filter is perfectly adequate, but the B W has a more elegant appearance and "heft," as well as better "finger feel. " From the moment I screw them on my Nikkor AF-S, I can tell they're well-made. S lenses. You also save a few dollars compared to the Nikon brand filter. Overall, the glass quality of both brands appears to be comparable, but as I build up my Nikkor AF-S lenses, I'm gradually migrating to B W. To go with my new Nikon Df camera, I've purchased a set of S lenses.

I've had a number of 3-year-olds in my life. rd party, much less expensive NC type filters that aren't optically flat, aren't properly coated, or have other issues. Many of them have a thick bezel, which adds to the vignetting. Nikon filters have a razor-thin bezel and excellent optical performance. Adding another layer of glass to a lens degrades the quality, but with a good filter like this one, the degradation is minimal to almost unnoticeable, and the protection from dust, scratches, and damage is well worth it.
