Good! I will try to refute the previous reviews and burnish the image of a little article in a few lines but it will not be easy! First of all I must say that I purchased this item sold and shipped by Amazon. The first denial: This filter is an original Canon brand. Made in Japan. 2nd denied: This filter is not a UV filter. The PROTECT end home CANON is a filter range that has the sole purpose of PROTECT the front lens of your lens. This filter does not alter either the colors or brightness, it is a filter called "neutral". There. Now as regards my own assessment of the product, I not take a lot of risk because I already had a filter of the PROTECT range in 58mm for my 18-55. :-) Finally I would say that you should be wary of bad sellers, who offer the same item for a few dollars or tens of dollars less ... beware of fakes. With respect, I never have a problem with the products sold and shipped by Amazon.
