The Tiffen UV 17 94mm thick thread filter is a general-purpose clear filter that helps absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is particularly useful when shooting at high altitude or near large bodies of water. No additional colouration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others. This filter reduces approximately 97% of UV radiation, slightly less than a UV 2A filter.

The UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave permanently on lenses. Filters help reduce dust and moisture that could reach your lens and provide additional protection in the event of drops or situations where scratches could occur.

Tiffen filters are manufactured using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding it flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting it on precision metal mounts.
