Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The filter is a good quality filter as it is multi-coating. The glass is pristine. That includes my several b&w filters which are also of the highest caliber materials and manufacture.

This filter fixes all the shortcomings of the targus. Worth buying and trying. Would recommend it for someone looking for an inexpensive filter.

Lumix dmc fz200 filter. Good protection for my lens and no noticeable distortion. Protects against scratching the expensive lens.

Bought it for my pentax wr lens 18-55. Fits perfectly on all of my nikon lenses for my d3100. Works with the standard nikon lens-caps on my lenses.

Sigma filter has made a huge difference in the lens' ability to reproduce colors closer to what the human eye sees. The colors reproduced are true and there is no haze or bluish tinge as previously experienced.



Cons

This is my first and last sigma product i buy. All these cheap filters all have * on the glass that shows up in your photos. Spend the money and buy a good uv filter.

Uv filters aren't supposed to do anything for image quality.

This is a great uv filter for the price.


Price is good and seems to go on sale from time to time so a nice bonus over more expensive filters.

I've compared them with other $5 ones and man, sigma's are so clear and non reflective.


I previously had an uncoated uv filter on one lens and a sigma muti-coated uv filter on another.

    If you’re into photography you’ll know it’s better to get a good quality multicoated uv filter than any cheap one


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    But under a white light there is a slight green reflection which is the multicoating whereas on a cheap filter there is a much stronger white reflection


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I wanted a good filter to at least protect the lens and found this one which had good reviews so decided to order


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I should say i am not an expert in filters and havent used it long so it will be hard for me to evaluate it but will say i havent so far noticed it to change the picture in any way under normal conditions


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    When shooting against the sun however i did see a few colored as well as white glares in the pictures and videos but cannot tell if they were introduced by the filter or not


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    One might think that uv filters for camera lenses are basically the same
