The Tiffen 86mm Coarse Thread UV 16 Filter is a general use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. This filter is especially useful when photographing at high altitudes or around bodies of water. No additional coloration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others. This filter attenuates approximately 89% of UV radiation, slightly less than a UV 17 filter.

The UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Tiffen filters are made using ColorCore technology; a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, then mounting to precision metal rings.

Q: 1. Is this good for a 18-400 tamron lens

A: This would be good enough, though a a clear, multicoated filter would offer more light transmission for better contrast and color. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/756817-REG/B_W_66_1066110_72mm_XS_Pro_NANO_Clear.html

Q: 2. Is the single coating on one side of the filter or both sides?

A: This coating is on both sides of the filter. Each glass surface includes one layer of anti-reflection coating.

Q: 3. will this filter work on a televue 85 scope and not affect sharp focusing of nature subjects ?

A: It would be almost impossible for this filter to affect sharpness. Your light is already traveling through huge amounts of glass. The idea that one tiny extra layer will make any difference is simply wrong-headed, yet many "pros" will tell you they never want to add another layer of glass. This is especially wrong when dealing with B+W, whose glass is made by Schott. Schott in Germany and Hoya in Japan make the finest laser optical glass in the world. It will be virtually perfect in every regard.

Q: 4. Will this 122mm filter fit on a Nikon 300mm AF F2.8 lens?

A: Unfortunately this lens does not accept front mounted filters. It uses a drop-in 52mm filter system . I have posted a link to an example below https://bhpho.to/2t6FQtT

Q: 5. Would this be recommended for use indoors?

A: Yes, UV filters are generally used these days as protect filters. Usually people leave them attached at all times.

Q: 6. Does this filter have threading on the front so you can stack other 77mm filters in front of it? In other words, does it have dual threading (front and back)?

A: yes it does, but if you have FX, it may cause Vignetting.....look into the slim version if you intend to stack on FX

Q: 7. Is the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter thin enough to allow you to mount the Canon Lens Hood ET-101 on the Canon RF 800mm lens without unscrewing the filter?

A: While the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter has been discontinued and is no longer available for purchase at B&H Photo, and has not been directly tested on the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens, it should be possible to use the B+W 95mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter on the Canon RF 800mm f/11 IS STM Lens while using the Canon ET-101 Lens Hood.

Q: 8. Good MorningMy question is very simple. Generally are UV Haze Filters, like this one, also recommended for HD CAMCORDERS wide lenses ? Or you recommend another one ?Carlos

A: You may use UV Haze filters on both still cameras and camcorders alike. However, the B+W 72mm UV Haze SC 010 Filter listed above would be a good recommendation for cameras that have a 35mm film full-frame focal length equivalent of 24mm or longer (to prevent vignetting). If the lens you own has a full-frame equivalent focal length wider than 24mm, then a slim filter would be recommended for use. As such, for wider lenses, I would instead recommend either the B+W 72mm UV Haze Slim MRC 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVMCS72, or the B+W 72mm XS-Pro UV MRC-Nano 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVXSP72.

Q: 9. I just purchased the Nikon 10-24. Any vignetting issues with wide angle lenses? Is ring thin enough?

A: For a super wide-angle lens like your Nikon 10-24, you'd be better off with the more expensive B+W XS-PRO UV Haze because it's slimmer. Mary B's response is utterly irrelevant because she's referring to a telephoto lens.

Q: 10. Se puede instalar un filtro polarizado sobre este ?

A: Si puede instalar un filtro polarizado sobre este filtro
