Ultraviolet (UV) Glass Filters Tutorial (HD)

This video is a short tutorial, covering the basics and additional information about using a UV (or Ultraviolet / Haze) glass filters for digital and film SLR cameras. Enjoy!

Oh, by the way, there are funny typos all over the place. It is Ultraviolet (UV), not Ultraviolent, hah.

Update: We forgot about Bower, Canon, Fujiyama, Hitech, Kenko, Marumi, Polaroid, and Sigma. Unfortunately, they fall under not-recommended brands category.

[Lilkiwiguy87]

Which 18-55mm? For the NEX (E-Mount) or Alpha (Alpha / Minolta AF Mount)?

[Boricuaso77789]

@superkiwizorro Oh okay. Please tell me which UV protector is available for a Sony Lens 18-55mm. I would greatly appreciate it!

Most "Local Photographic Camera Retailer" will want you to pay a premium. B&H and Adorama are New York based, which means... No sales tax for those cheapos! :D

Excellent UV Filters should have a Slight Samon-Pink colour to the glass, just a slight tinge. The best UV Filters I have encountered for the protection of my Lenses too, are "Toshiba" and "Hoya" but "Avigon" Ultra-Violet Filters are also Good. Mostly UV Filters Protect your Lenses!!

@SurfTheStreets01 Get your Infrared Filter at your Local "Photographic Camera Retailer" I do think you did know the answer!!

[Lilkiwiguy87]

B&H Photo and Video, Adorama, and Amazon. No eBay.

Any idea were i can get a infrared filter for a canon 50mm?

@Boricuaso77789 this question had been answered before: it's a crappy sony filter with "zeiss" on it to snatch the market. a lot of filter companies do that.
