Amazon Basics 72 mm Circular UV Protection Filter for Clearer Pictures, Protects from Dust, Dirt and Scratches

Before getting this Amazon Basics 55mm Circular UV Protection Filter, my camera lens would get dirty often, and I was almost about to scratch it. Since replacing a camera lens is far more expensive than buying a UV filter, I decided to get this one—and it was the best decision! The filter fits perfectly on my Sony DSLR lens and provides great protection against dust, dirt, and scratches. It also helps reduce haze in bright outdoor conditions, and best of all, it doesn’t affect image quality—my photos remain sharp and clear. The build quality is solid, and it screws onto the lens smoothly. For just £8.54, this filter is an absolute bargain. It’s a small investment that saves a lot of money in the long run by protecting my lens from potential damage. I would highly recommend it to any photographer.

Great filter at a very reasonable price

Good quality UV filter — fits perfectly and doesn’t affect image clarity. Also gives great protection against dust and scratches. Ideal for everyday use to keep your lens safe. Great value for the price.

Good UV filter, works as intended. I use it easily as a lens cap to protect the lens, does not interfere with colours or image quality. Bargain.

Very affordable and does the work it supposed to. Satisfied

An essential purchase for you lens, to protect the front element from dirt, fingerprints, smudges or impact, if nothing else. This Amazon basics filter arrived in a plain cardboard box, with an unmarked plastic case inside that should fit a variety of filter sizes. Fits the front of my lens easily and securely and allows the lens cap to fit normally as well. No noticeable effect on optics, just an added layer of protection for the front of the lens (and you don't mind giving it a good scrub if it gets dusty).

Does exactly what it says.

Even after watching videos and hearing what people had to say about these filters, I was really unsure about buying one, I didn’t know if it was really necessary and if I’d be wasting money. The main reason I wanted one was to prevent dust from getting on the camera lens and also to protect it from any rain drops that might get on it. I’m glad I bought one, it does protect the camera in the ways mentioned. It could protect from other damage, but I do know these filters are quite fragile and if broken could possibly end up doing more harm than good, but if you’re careful I think it’s a good thing to add on to the camera lens. I like that you can still put your lens cap on too, I thought I would have to remove the filter to do that. The 55mm is a perfect fit for my lumix fz82 and if it makes any difference to picture quality I haven’t really noticed. As for the UV protection, I will have to try it out in different lighting conditions to see if it makes any difference... So 4 stars for now.
