Lens protection and UV control

The Tiffen 55mm UV Haze 1 Filter fits 55mm threads and serves photographers and videographers who want a permanent safeguard for front elements. It absorbs almost three quarters of UV light to reduce the bluish cast that appears in high-altitude or long-distance shots, especially over water. The filter is designed for general-purpose UV control in most hazy conditions. It suits users who prefer leaving a single filter on the lens at all times.

ColorCore lamination process

The filter substrate is laminated between two pieces of optical glass and ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch before being mounted in precision metal rings. This construction maintains optical clarity while providing a durable barrier against dust, moisture, fingerprints and scratches. No additional coatings or software are bundled with the filter. The manufacturing method is intended to preserve image quality while delivering physical protection.

Slim metal ring mount

The precision metal ring threads directly onto 55mm lens fronts and accepts standard 55mm caps. Its profile allows the filter to remain mounted during storage in many lens pouches. The ring construction resists binding and cross-threading during frequent attachment and removal. No wide-angle specific variant is included in this model. Build quality focuses on consistent flatness and reliable thread engagement for daily use.

Questions about this item

Will the 55mm filter thread need any maintenance or replacement over time?

The precision metal ring is built to last, but the optical glass surfaces should be cleaned with a soft lens cloth and appropriate solution to maintain clarity.

What is the first optical limit reached when shooting through this filter all day?

The filter absorbs almost three quarters of UV light to reduce haze, so the practical limit is the remaining UV transmission that can still affect very high-altitude or long-distance shots over water.

Does the filter add noticeable heat, noise or power draw when left on the lens continuously?

No — it is a passive optical element with no electronics, so it generates no heat, makes no sound and requires no power.
