Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter
Film, as well as video, often exhibits a greater sensitivity to what is to us invisible, ultraviolet light. This is most often outdoors, especially at high altitudes, where the UV-absorbing atmosphere is thinner; and over long distances, such as marine scenes. It can show up as a bluish color cast with color film, or it can cause a low-contrast haze that diminishes details, especially when viewing far-away objects, in either color or black-and-white. Ultraviolet filters absorb UV light generally without affecting light in the visible region. It is important to distinguish between UV-generated haze and that of air-borne particles, such as smog. The latter is made up of opaque matter that absorbs visible light as well as UV, and will not be appreciably removed by a UV filter.The UV Protector shields lens from dust, moisture, scratches, and breakage.
Protects lenses from dust, moisture, scratches, and other damage. These filters can be kept on the camera at all times.

Tiffen 77mm UV Protection Filter Reviews
Definitely a must have. So far I removed it only once when it was causing a flare that I did not want in the picture. I have it mounted on my tokina 11-16/2.8 to protect my investment. It is not the best UV filter you can buy, but definitely good value for the money.
They shoot clear pics. Great buy for the money. For 70$ or so you get three 77mm NEW Name Brand Lenses.
Beware that these filters DO NOT fit the Canon 24-105 Lens. I have yet to buy new filters, but I suspect the only ones that will fit are the Canon brand filters. The UV and Color filters touch the glass of the lens when screwed onto the lens.
It works great in fog and dust. It works so well, that when I'm in a situation that I NEED to show the fog or dust, I must take the filter off because the filter cuts through so well. The little ring that holds the glass to the metal ring has come loose on occasion, but I just tighten it and the problem goes away for several months. I have several of these filters. I keep coming back to this filter because I keep buying new lenses. Keep in mind that I'm a professional photojournalist and I use my gear heavily (daily). They are good filters, but in time (several years), they can get tiny scratches if I'm not careful. I would also recommend the Skylight filter too.
My copy seems to be fairly tight and easy to adjust. Haven't used any filter for lens protection for 30 years, and all my lenses are in perfect condition.
After reading good and bad reviews, I decided to order a set on a gamble I guess. I may attach one when taking very long shots to cut through some of the haze.
I kinda like the haze in some landscapes. I use this filter with my Tamron AF 17-35mm F/2.8-4 lens and have no problems that others have mentioned.
I do Wish I could have purchased the Polarizer seperate as I hardly use a UV Haze filter. Well, I took some Fall pictures with the polarizer and am happy with the results.
Again, if you need a 77mm Polarizer, this one will fill your needs and it's rather inexpensive.
