Tiffen UV 17 Filter 4.5" 114mm

The Tiffen UV 17 Filter is a 4.5 inch (114mm) camera accessory that absorbs ultraviolet light to reduce haze and improve clarity. It also acts as a permanent lens guard against dust, scratches, moisture and fingerprints. The filter is designed for photographers who want sharper images and long-term protection for valuable glass.

Standard thread mount installation

The filter screws onto the front thread of any lens with a matching 114mm diameter, requiring no tools or adapters. Ensure the threads are clean and align carefully to avoid cross-threading which can damage the lens barrel. Over-tightening may make removal difficult, so secure it firmly by hand only. The slim profile helps prevent vignetting on most wide-angle lenses.

Check lens thread diameter first

Verify that your lens has a 114mm front filter thread before ordering, as this size is specific and not interchangeable. Confirm the thread pitch is standard for photographic filters to ensure a proper fit. This filter is not for shooters who need a different diameter, a square filter system, or variable ND functionality.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the Tiffen UV 17 filter is reducing haze as intended after mounting it on my lens?

Shoot a distant landscape or water scene in bright daylight and compare images with and without the filter; the version with the filter should show less atmospheric haze and a more neutral colour balance.

What comes in the box with the Tiffen 4.5" UV 17 filter, and do I need to buy a filter holder or step-up ring separately?

The filter ships as a single 114 mm screw-in unit; no holder or adapter is included, so purchase a step-up ring only if your lens thread differs from 114 mm.

Which absorption level should I choose among Tiffen UV filters if I want the standard strength for general outdoor photography?

The UV 17 designation indicates the standard absorption level in this range, making it the default choice for everyday haze reduction and lens protection.
