Tiffen 138mm UV Haze-1 Protection Filter

Tiffen 138mm UV Haze-1 Protection Filter | 138HZE

You’re out on a bright day, the sun cutting hard across a landscape or a city street, and every shot carries that slight blue cast or atmospheric haze that softens contrast. In a situation like that, this is the filter you screw on before you press the shutter. The Tiffen 138mm UV Haze-1 Protection Filter is built for large-diameter lenses, the kind found on high-end telephoto or cinema rigs, and it does two things at once without adding any visible color shift or softening.

• Reduces haze and ultraviolet light ? It cuts through atmospheric UV to deliver sharper, more contrast-rich images, especially at distance or at high altitude.
• Serves as a tough, permanent lens protector ? Dust, sand, salt spray, and accidental knocks hit the filter first, not your expensive front element.
• Zero effect on exposure or color balance ? You can leave it on for every shot with no need to adjust your camera settings or worry about a color cast.
• Durable, optical-glass construction ? Standard Tiffen build quality means it’s built to survive heavy use out in the field without degrading image quality.
• Slim-profile ring ? At 138mm, it’s a large filter, but the ring is designed to avoid vignetting even on wide-angle applications within that thread size.

For any camera setup that takes 138mm threading, this isn’t a creative effect?it’s a workhorse protective layer that also helps you cut haze reliably. Mount it once and mostly forget about it, knowing your lens sees clean light and fewer risks.
