Pros

Filters fit securely in the plastic cases and didn't move around. Came clean with no scratches. Lenses need a replaceable filter to protect them from scratch.



Cons

The filter causes a yellow tint to all your images. It also causes a noticeable blur. Optically it's a fine filter but the qc on these are lack luster.

Amazon is refunding the purchase price without requiring me to return the filter. Your lens deserves a better uv filter. Don't try and save a few bucks with this one.

Some argue against putting a cheap uv filter on a canon l lens (with the red ring) as it can reduce image quality.
