Vivitar 72mm Multicoated UV Protective Filter

I was pleasantly surprised at how slim this filter sits on the lens—no vignetting even with my wide-angle. It’s already saved my front element from a couple of dust storms on a recent hike.

The coating really does its job—I’ve bumped my lens against a zipper twice and the glass still looks flawless. Screws on snug without any wobble, and the price feels fair for the peace of mind it gives.

I was worried about dust getting on my glass during outdoor shoots, but this filter fits perfectly and the multi-coating really does cut down on reflections. It’s a solid, simple way to protect my lens without affecting image quality.
