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. This filter can be kept on the camera at all times.

Well constructed, fits perfectly:
Like all Tiffen filters this one is well constructed and fits perfectly. I've found that it can cause some glare if you aren't using a lens hood.
Worthless:
This filter is not coated, and the reflections are awful. It wasn't worth returning it, so I use it as a lens cap and take it off to shoot pictures. I got a Hoya coated filter and it was well worth the extra money.
Good Stuff, Cheap:
What's to say? Tiffen produces good quality stuff for every product line - at reasonable prices. Unless you're in the market for ultra-elegant filters, click on through to Tiffen.
