SO) CANON 58MM UV FILTERAmazon.com Product Description
The Canon UV-1 filter for 58mm lenses absorbs harmful ultraviolet rays without increase of exposure, thereby preventing haziness and foggy effects in distant landscapes. It also has a very subtle warming effect, which can be useful to counter the "cool" colors you sometimes get in bright sun or in shade. It can be left on the lens at all times for protection of the camera's lens.SimilarProduct

Customer reviews
I BOUGHT TWO - No Problems 
by .. A. Stagg (Virginia, USA)
I was concerned when I ordered this filter about the previous problems reported here. But, I was in a hurry and needed two of these for vacation. There was absolutely no problem with the product. Both filters were sealed and in perfect condition. Could have been packed a little better in the shipping box, but arrived in good condition. No problems with photos taken with this product.
Update: Have used these extensively on my Canon XT during the past year. No problems with this product at all. Great protection for my lenses!
No Degradation by .. K. Shaw (Las Vegas, NV)
I took a few identical photos with and without this filter, and saw no difference in sharpness nor contrast. So, if you're looking to save damage to your lense, this is the way to go. I like being able to clean this filter quickly. Otherwize I would spend 10-20 minutes cleaning the lense being so very carefull not to scratch it. Also, it can minimize UV haze... but I havn't compared with/without for that type of situation. (PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION ... (BRAND))
A Top Product Recommended by Pro's! May 2008 by .. David Michael (Hawaii)
Thru the years, I have used UV filters on all of my photo equipment, including my newest Digital Canon, (READ my Review) for the following reasons, which may help you in several ways:
The Canon UV-1 58mm Haze filter -
* A 'Physical Protection barrier' for the front element of the lens. (Probably the Most
Important Reason), and here's Why:
* Protecting the Front Lens unique "Chromatic Coating". This 'coating' is what separates all
lenses, if the Glass is all equal, even within the same manufacturer, into categories from a
Good lens, all the way to a Superior one. Example - Minolta's Celtic vs Rokkor lenses
* Protection from dirt, dust, abrasions, and moisture. (The front lens is where all light &
images come thorough, that's recorded on film or microchip, so any Lens scratches,
abrasions, or smudges, all get recorded too). This ALSO keeps you from Damaging the
Chromatic Lens Coating!
* Easy Screw-in type, Easy to Change & Easy to Clean. That's 3 Easy's, People!
* Produce a very subtle 'Warming Effect', useful to counter the "Cooler" SHIFT and/or Colors
you sometimes get with some 'Lenses' or in bright sun or in shade. Example: Panasonic &
Pentex and some others have produced lenses with a 'Cool-Shift' lens coating and/or
microprocessor. - What this also means is that your Images will have to be 'Hue Corrected'.
* Very affordable with Excellent Benefit's. I usually buy in Pairs, so that I might have a spare,
just in case, and all pro photographers, bank on it. Just part of the 'must-have add-on's'.
I'm not disappointed by .. M. Benson (Carthage, NY USA)
I mainly bought this to go on the end of the lens adapter for the S2 IS. It does well to protect the lens, but you can't put a lens cap over it. It ends up being easier to use without the lens cap...and quicker when taking pictures.
The pictures are very good through it.
No complaints by .. W. J. Regotti (Silver Spring, MD United States)
Ordered one in March and its came in fine (not used or abused like others have mentioned).
Amazon.com was the retailer.
I use it mostly for the lens protection aspect and it works great, in fact I'm ordering another right now.
