 One out of Two isn't that bad August 27, 2010

Ordered two of these and they arrived very promptly and were well packaged.
However, one of them was a rattler!!! On investigation it was the seal on the filter. This is a circular 'locking' piece that screws down the inside of the thread at the front of the filter, locking the glass into place - this piece had been cross threaded when originally put together, so does not tighten correctly. I have kind of repaired it, but this one will be for emergencies only!
This item was purchased through Bargains2000 and what annoys me the most is that they must have known it was a 'rattler' as they packaged it - so very disappointed with their service.
Also, I have noticed that my Jessop filters are of a far higher quality with much better, clearer glass - so it does raise the question of whether these are genuine Canon or not.
 Disappointed!!!!! August 24, 2010

I have just received this item this morning purchased for my and delivery time was excellent, and unlike a few other people i have no problem with the fit of this item or the lens cap fitting again. My problems are however are firstly the condition, the amount of dust and general dirts on the filter is unreal, and secondly the cut of the glass, i feel i may have been able to actually cut the glass better myself, and i promise this is no exaggeration. It will have to suffice until i purchase a Hoya alternative. I have literally had to spend 30 mins cleaning it and it is still not free from dust. Also as stated in other reviews it does say made in USA and no Japan like the illustration. All in all not particularly happy!

This does what it says of the tin - uv filter. I purchased mine also as a lens protector.
would highly recommend

I bought two of these filters to fit my Canon EF-S 18-55mm IS & EF-S 55-250mm IS lens and they fit fine - I keep them on permanently & they look very professional. Also, I've had no problems attaching the original Canon lens caps to both UV filters. Although; I do agree that the photo should be updated to reflect `Made in USA' and not Japan. However, they are of good quality and well worth the protection they bring to otherwise expensive lenses.
 Beware - Looks like a non-genuine Canon Filter? July 30, 2010

Deeply disappointed to receive this in poor condition.
Filter box was scratched and battered. On closer inspection the box was not like all my other Canon UV filters of the same type and model, when looking closer the filter lens itself was loose within its frame and rattled when moved, when holding the filter up to the light it, it was covered in dust, scratches and smears, not what you would expect for a new filter!... Putting my existing filters next to this of exactly the same type and model (Bought from a retailer when I bought my Canon Camera) the biggest difference is that all the other canon filters are made in Japan, but this one is imprinted with USA, which is different to the supplied picture on the Amazon Website and as far as I am aware all Canon filters are made in Japan...
All looks a bit too dodgy to me, so have sent it back immediately for a refund using Amazons excellent returns process...
