Trusted by thousands of photographers worldwide, it’s the essential everyday protection that keeps your gear safe without compromising image quality. ## Description Safeguard your lens and absorb UV light. Film and video are more sensitive to UV light than our eyes are. This often shows up as a bluish cast in images, especially shots from high altitudes and long distances, particularly over water. Ultra Violet filters are available in a variety of UV absorption levels. Reduces excessive blue by absorbing almost three quarters of UV light. Best general purpose UV control Eliminates UV problems from most situations where increased haze tends to wash out color and image clarity Protects your camera or camcorder lens against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches and damage Can be kept on your camera at all times Review: Like a glove - I had a Hoya 1B HMC Skylight before, which broke over a pebble and saved my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (on a Canon 40D house) when I dropped the bag (a Soligor Classic Line, size M) from about 1m / 3.5ft. I decided on this filter mainly for the cost savings compared to a Hoya or Dörr etc, and am very pleased. I'm not a pro photographer, and use this filter mostly indoors (as mentioned above, it sits on the front of a 30mm f/1.4), so UV influx is rarely a problem anyway. That said, I haven't noticed any bad influence at all of this filter on the picture quality I get, and the fit (thread size and cap compatibility) is great and build quality seems all good so I'm a happy sailor. Review: Use Protection! - For a small price this well made UV filter could save you from disaster as it protects your lens from scratches and smudges. Of course it also does a good job in filtering out UV rays. It fits perfectly well and will stay in place for as long as i continue to use my small prime lens. Don't leave home without it. ## Features - Most popular protection filter - Provides basic reduction of ultraviolet light - Helps eliminate bluish cast in images ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00004ZCJL | | Best Sellers Rank | 23 in Photography UV Filters | | Brand | Tiffen | | Brand Name | Tiffen | | Coating Description | No Coating | | Coating description | No Coating | | Colour | black | | Compatible Devices | Cameras with 72mm filter thread | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 17,138 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00049383099447 | | Item Dimensions L x W | 7.2L x 7.2W centimetres | | Item Weight | 30 Grams | | Manufacturer | Tiffen | | Manufacturer Part Number | 72UVP | | Material | Plastic | | Media Type | ProductImage | | Model Name | 72UVP | | Model Number | 72UVP | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Photo Filter Effect Type | Ultraviolet | | Photo Filter Factor | 1 x | | Photo Filter Size | 72 Millimeters | | Photo Filter Thread Size | 72 Millimetres | | Photo filter effect type | Ultraviolet | | Photo filter thread size | 72 Millimetres | | Screen Size | 72 Millimetres | | Set Name | UV Protection Filter (1 Piece) | | UPC | 049383099447 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | | Water resistance level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Tiffen - **Coating description:** No Coating - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00049383099447 - **Material:** Plastic - **Photo Filter Size:** 72 Millimeters - **Photo filter effect type:** Ultraviolet - **Photo filter thread size:** 72 Millimetres - **Product dimensions:** 7.2L x 7.2W centimetres - **UPC:** 049383099447 - **Water resistance level:** Water Resistant ## Images ![Tiffen 72UVP 72mm UV Protector Filter, Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61F1-GhLGmL.jpg) ![Tiffen 72UVP 72mm UV Protector Filter, Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eGPWU68eL.jpg) ![Tiffen 72UVP 72mm UV Protector Filter, Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51kgc6CywXL.jpg) ![Tiffen 72UVP 72mm UV Protector Filter, Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41P7p0mmbzL.jpg) ![Tiffen 72UVP 72mm UV Protector Filter, Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51woFL17g8L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Configuration, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Like a glove *by E***R on 8 March 2011* I had a Hoya 1B HMC Skylight before, which broke over a pebble and saved my Sigma 30mm f/1.4 (on a Canon 40D house) when I dropped the bag (a Soligor Classic Line, size M) from about 1m / 3.5ft.

Of course it also does a good job in filtering out UV rays. It fits perfectly well and will stay in place for as long as i continue to use my small prime lens. Don't leave home without it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An inexpensive way to protect an expensive lens *by M***H on 20 February 2021* I'm not a photographic expert so anyone reading these comments should take this in to account. Whenever I buy a new lens, I tend to purchase a UV filter and a lens cap saver at the same time. It makes sense to me to protect an expensive lens with such an inexpensive piece of kit. I have used Hoya UV filters in the past but I thought I would give this one from Tiffen on my latest lens. So far, I'm very pleased - out of the box, the filter felt robust and seems well made. The screw thread was well defined and attached to the lens with no issues. The lens cap also still fits in with the filter in place. In use, I have found the filter unobtrusive and have seen none of the reflections mentioned in one or two reviews previously. Highly recommended as a relatively inexpensive way to protect an expensive lens. Update (Sep 21) In my earlier review, I stated that I had seen none of the reflections mentioned in one or two reviews; after some time using this lens I have to say that I do see the reflections noted by others. This was not immediately obvious and tends to be more noticeable when shooting under artificial light. I have amended my original start rating to 4 in light of this. ## Frequently Bought Together - Tiffen 72UVP Slim 72mm UV Protection Filter for Camera Lens, Clear Optical Glass, Impact Resistant MADE IN USA - Tiffen 72CP Slim 72mm Circular Polarizer Filter for Camera Lens, Glare Control, Contrast Increase, Color Enhancing - MADE IN USA --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/53905226-tiffen-72uvp-72mm-uv-protector-filter-black](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/53905226-tiffen-72uvp-72mm-uv-protector-filter-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-06-18*
