The Tiffen Company is a well-known American company producing glass filters for photographers and cinematographers. We were, unfortunately, only able to test the most basic UV filter from this company.
Test result:
Visible light (390 - 750 nm): 88.3 %
Ultraviolet (200 - 390 nm): 25.5 % |
2/10 |

Summary:
-
Sadly, last place on both our overall and cost-to-benefit rankings goes to this basic Tiffen filter. We don’t think we have to add anything else.
