What does this mean?Pros & Cons
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.

Price
As an aside, bh photo has a 127mm filter that costs $930 (musashi optical system 127mm super water repellent filter).

Competitiveness
Perfect lens cover for my lens :) and a much more affordable price than the name brand.
I purchased three of these amazon basics uv filters (72mm, 77mm, 82mm) after failed attempts with other name brand ones like ti... Read More
