Given the price a bit higher, the filter delivers as promised. I used it a couple of times (once during a sunny day and once during a storm at sea) and the filter protects the lens against the Elements + is so clear it does not interfere with the shot. Personally I did not see any difference between shots taken with and without the filter (it does not change the shot). With it I can relax, knowing did the camera lens is protected and did the shots will not be affected.
