Good filter...Great price [Posted on 2007-02-08]
The Super HMC UV filter is distinguished by the optical coating on both sides of the glass. This is a high quality filter and worthly of high end lenses. I have them on both an 80-200mm f/2.8 and a 17-55mm f/2.8 Nikon lenses. No demonstrable reduction to the image quality is visible on images taken with either lens. In my sports photography work, I am typically right on the court very close to the action and having the glass of a $1,000 lens exposed is too much of a gamble for me. The only downside of this lens is that it's a bit difficult to clean as streaks seem to stick to it if the lens cleaning cloth (microfiber)isn't wet enough with cleaning fluid. However, I've found that if I flip the cloth to a dry spot right and swirl from the center outward to the edge, away go the streaks. The price ($39) through the Amazon affiliated dealers is excellent.

I bought this as a protective filter for my Nikon 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S. It will probably never come off unless I scratch it. It is optically clear and I cannot tell in any photos that the filter affects the picture quality at all.

Versatile, fast, and sharp  [Posted on 2008-02-17]
The Nikkor 18-200mm 3.5-5.6 VR is almost a cliche in the Nikon circle for it's super zoom capability, versatility, quality lens, and not to mention VR. This lens is well built, not entirely metal casing, but a heck heavier, at 19+ oz, than the plastic 18-55mm kit lens.

I bought it based on the hype as the single lens solution, and it didn't disappoint with it's fast focus and ability to produce sharp pictures. Having said that, it's not going to replace your wide angle lens, your standard fast aperture lens, your telephoto lens, and your other specialty lenses.

In sum, if you can have one lens that covers most needs or can carry only one lens, this is it.

Great filter for the price [Posted on 2008-09-17]
I bought this to protect my 24-105mm F4 IS Canon L lens, fits well and protects my lens, does not affect the quality of my pictures. I also bought a 67mm to protect my 70-200mm F4 IS Canon L lens, same thing fits well and protects the lens and does not affect picture quality.
