AGFA 62mm Heavy Rubber APSLH62
I purchased this filter for my 2006 Christmas vacation in Hawaii. I knew that I was going to take a lot of outdoor photographs and wanted to try using a UV filter to make them more crisp. I have a Canon S3 IS which is not a traditional SLR so in order to use this filter I purchased the Canon LAH-DC20 Lens Adapter and Hood Set. Not only is this a great filter for cutting out haze in my photos, it's an affordable protective layer between the built in lens and the real world. I have many cameras with sand and fingerprints all over the lenses. It's impossible to keep them clean. Anything that gets onto this filter cannot harm the built in lens and is easily cleaned by simply removing the filter and wiping with a lens cloth. I have noticed a great improvement in my outdoor photography in clarity.
One caveat:
I was fortunate enough to get some expert advice concerning how tight to screw on filters and lenses. JUST BARELY FINGER TIGHT! Those little buggers have a nasty tendency to go from "kind of loose" to "how do you get this d@mn thing off" very quickly!
Fold far enough back when stored in your bag so you can still use a lens cap. I am using this on an 85mm lens.

BalasHapusThis has replace the hard lens hood for a Nikon 35mm 1.8G used on a Nikon D7000, I prefer this to the hard hood
BalasHapusVery nice hood. It folds into three positions so that you don't get black corners in the image when you shoot at shorter focal lengths.
