Customer Review: Does the job...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this filter mainly to use as a lens protector for an EF 100-400mm lens. I had concerns that while a good filter might not degrade the transmitted light too much for a shorter reach lens, that it nonetheless "might" have some negative effect on a light-starved longer reaching lens like this one. I did some indoor testing and saw a slight (very slight) amount of light loss, but no apparent loss of quality, or distortion. I shot a lot of outdoor shots, and saw no discernable loss of transmitted light, nor any noticeable impact to image quality. The weather has been uncooperative for testing its haze reduction effectiveness on long landscape shots though...
After shooting a lot of shots in the rain WITHOUT the filter, and then having to carefully clean the water spots off the front lens element, I decided this filter needs to live on the front of my lens, unless I am shooting with a polarizer or other filter. The long lens hood on the EF 100-400mm (~3.5" of protection) should be enough for most unplanned events, but won't help with blowing sand or dust. And who can say when I might have to shirt-tail (horror!) some spray off the front of the lens some day if I find myself without a lens cloth?
