   Summary: Great Filter, But It May Not Fit
I've used this filter with my Canon EF 50mm f1.4 USM Standard & Medium Telephoto Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and LOVE it. However, I recently bought one to protect the lens of my new Canon EF 24mm f/2.8 Wide Angle Lens for Canon SLR Cameras and it didn't fit properly. The lens is so rounded that when you put this filter on, the filter actually touches the lens. It creates a spot about 3-5mm in diameter in the middle of the lens/filter. I had to buy a more expensive filter that was thinner in order to work with the lens.

   Summary: Does what it is meant to do
The UV filter is not as strong as it could be, however, this filter is more meant as a protector for your lens and it does that perfectly well.

   Summary: Filthy, pitted filters
Both of the Tiffen filters I bought (2 separate orders, a few weeks apart) arrived smeared with some kind of greasy gunk.
It was extremely difficult to get them clean.
What ever the stuff was just got smeared around, and it took me forever to get it all off.
I still worry that there may be a film of it left on there that will degrade the clarity of my photos.
It wasn't worth the hassle to return them, but next time I need a filter, I won't buy Tiffen.

   Summary: Good filter for digital
This filter is used to balance the brighter areas of your picture to the darker ones, e.g. lighter sky with a darker landscape. It works well with digital because although you can't place the line of density anywhere (it's fixed in the middle but can be rotated), you can later crop in you're editing to get the desired composition. Filter is glass and better than Cokin which is plastic and scratches easily. Cokin filter holder has the advantage of complete adjustability because you slide the filter in and out as well as rotate it. By the way .6 ND is equal to one stop of light, something Tiffen doesn't explain in their marketing materials. They also have half stop, two stop and three stop grad NDs. There are high quality glass filters made for the Cokin system, but they cost 2x or more than the Tiffen.

   Summary: It does the job
The Tiffen 58mm uv filter does the job. My main purpose is to protect the lens, which it does fine , with no noticeable optical effect. Any improvement in picture quality is a plus.
