XU05 43mm MCUV Protection Filter Nano-Xcel Series - 28 Multi-Layer Coatings HD/Hydrophobic/Scratch Resistant/Ultra-Slim UV Filter For Camera Lens
SKU: KF01.981
nothing fancy about UV filters, you just don't want them to effect your shots, K&F's does a great job with their glass filters. When you invest 100s of dollars for a lens you want something to protect it without distorting and K&F filter do that.

This filter just helps keep the gunk off the front element. This protection helps keep the lens from slowly getting micro scratches and ruining the whole lens. Easier to replace a filter then a lens.

I bought this filter with no knowledge of the company. I still don't know anything but what I have observed: it seems to be quality construction and, most importantly, I took it out shooting and the clarity and visual performance of my favorite Nikon wide angle lens remains just as superb as ever. So, it's a quality filter at a very good price.

I first purchased the K&F Nano Series filter for one of my lenses. I believe it was for my Nikon 80-200mm F2.8 D ED lens. That lens produces really sharp images at distance and is not a close focus lens, even noted by Nikon. I bought the lens used and it came with a beat up UV filter. I was getting ghosting and when I removed the filter the ghosting was significantly reduced. I ended up buying several more for my other lenses. I also use B+W filters too. Well made filters as well, but a little more costly. The K&F is by no means a $100 filter, but for the price it does what I need. I especially like the nano-coating that resists grease and water. Worked well when I was photographing at the beach. Easy to clean the sea mist off without smearing. We really do not need UV filters anymore with digital since UV does not interfere with the sensor like it did with film. I simply use them to keep from having to clean the front elements of my lenses all the time. I feel reducing that to a minimum will prevent potentially scratching the element. I know there are a few schools of thought on this topic, but I just do what I am comfortable with. From what I read and can tell the filter is glass and not plastic, which is nice these days. I have them on all my lenses now and happy with them.

I bought it for my Canon EF 24–105mm f/4L IS II USM to protect the lens, it threads on and off rather easily and I haven't even noticed it being on. If it does degrade the image, it's not enough to be readily noticed.
