Features Reviews
 
Multi-Coating improves overall quality of filter by correcting for refractive properties of the filter glass. With multi-coated glass your photos will look sharper and have more contrast. Though most people use the UV Haze to protect their lens from dust and scratches, it also absorbs ultra violet and blue rays without affecting exposure or color.

Comments about Quantaray UV Multi-Coated Filter:

For years I've been reading about the pros and cons of leaving a UV or skylight filter screwed on the lens full-time as a means of protecting it. Yesterday I got a graphic demonstration. I casually tossed a travel bag down a flight of stairs. Before it hit the ground I remembered, with a feeling of intense nausea, that my Pentax K-10, with its $400 16-45mm zoom lens, was inside the bag.

The Quantaray UV filter took the impact on its forward edge. The glass shattered, and the metal rim bent so it couldn't be screwed off.

After loosing an appropriate stream of profanity and beating myself up about it for several hours, I picked out the remaining glass shards, clamped the lens in a vise, and, using a miniature hack saw, made a couple of cuts in the rim. A little wiggling with a pair of pliers broke the ring loose from the lens, which, to my immense relief, was undamaged. Apparently the threaded ring at the front of the lens is made of a much harder metal than the filter ring; the threads on the filter were wrecked, but those on the lens are fine.

Tomorrow I buy a new UV filter - and it will stay on that lens permanently.
