The Tiffen UV 17 95mm Coarse Thread Filter is a general-use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is especially useful when photographing at high altitudes or near bodies of water. It does not add any colouration or additional contrast, making it possible to pair with other filters. This filter attenuates approximately 97% of UV rays, slightly less than a UV 2A filter.

The UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture that could reach your lens and provide additional protection in case 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 to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting it in precision metal rings.
