Is this filter multicoated for anti reflection?

Let me quote Tiffen (go to their website's FAQ section): "The Tiffen Circular Polarizer is not multicoated at all. We used to carry TMC (Tiffen multicoated) filters but found no significant difference in their light transmission and also that the coating could be easily damaged, resulting in poorer performance. In any case, multicoating is a proprietary process, and we seriously doubt that any lens or filter manufacturer will tell you the exact nature and composition of their coating layers."

I have cleaned eye glasses but I do not know about glasses with anti-reflective coating.

As trivial as it may seem, don't skimp on a filter. You have a nice camera, so get a MULTI-COATED filter from someone like B&W, Heliopan, or Hoya. The multi-coatings reduce flare and reflections, just like your multi-coated Nikon lens -- again, don't skimp, it'll truly reduce the quality of your photo's especially in sunlight. The size of the filter should be imprinted on the lens, and yes, it's 67mm. A good filter is somewhere in the $50 neighborhood.

I don't know, in my AGFA Kit the manufacture instructions no said nothing about the multi-coated CPL lens,They do not seem to be multi-coated,The CPL has a minimal polarizing effect in the pictures.

I don't believe the polarizing filter will take care of UV filtering. The place I got the Tiffen polarizing filter bundled the two filters together so you get both.

Gloss clear. There is no matte finish or other film that filters light or glare.

So... these filters serve two different purposes. The UV filter that I purchased is on my lens to protect the first element when I'm in situations that require me to be less than 100% diligent about where my lens is. A hood serves the same purpose so I supposed it is kinda redundant redundant... The Circular Polarizer is designed to reduce glare coming off of non-metallic surfaces. It can add "pop" to landscapes and cloud scapes much in the same way that polarized sunglasses do for your eyes. They do reduce the amount of light that makes it to your sensor and you'll need to take this into consideration. Hope that helps.

Yes. The "pros" will tell you that any additional layer of glass can add distortion and reflection, but I leave a filter on all the time to protect that expensive lens from dirt, dings, fingerprints, etc. Many of today's filters are so well made with multi-coating and high tolerances that I doubt even the experts can tell a difference in 99% of photos. Years ago, so called UV filters added a hint of pink to fight UV. That is no longer the case.

Yes it does. I would never consider using a non-multi-coated filter on a digital camera. The reason is simple. The sensor has a flat glass protecting it (called a low-pass filter - LPF). Some light will bounce off the LPF and head out the lens. Since lens elements are multi-coated and curved, very little light will reflect back to the sensor. But since the front filter IS flat, you can get a lot of light bouncing back. If you use a non-coated, or single-coated filter, you get a lot of light reflected back into the sensor. This shows up as a loss of contrast (veiling flair) or as ghosts and hot spots. Multi-coated filters are designed to reduce this effect, but cannot eliminate it. This is a real problem when you shoot into a light source. When shooing into a light, ANY filter will degrade the image. Multi-coated filters are much better, though.

Actually kind of. Its a good filter still but the coating will smudge a bit with cleaning.

Polarizing filter is blocking reflected light, so it lets you to see into water like there is no surface, you can see through windows without reflection of glass, by blocking reflection from pollution in air it makes sky nicely blue.UV filter is a joke, it is blocking UV light, but lenses usually block UV too, but it is neutral filter and is widely used as a protection filter to prevent scratches on optics. Pink filter is used under artificial light to make the picture more natural, but you can do the same by white balance setting, but for film camera it is a good piece.

Unfortunately, no. The JJC WB filter is made of a light-weight plastic, but it doesn't seem to scratch easy either.

I would expect that you would notice a reduction in glare, if you tune the orientation of the filter sheet. Be aware that there is an overall reduction of light through the sheet, even when it is not affecting the glare.

KDavies, the filter looks to be some sort of nylon weave, the frame for the filter is a strong, dense, high quality plastic. I have seen people get very upset by this, but my familiarity with plastics used in the medical and scientific fields gives me reason to feel it is not a problem. I have been using mine for years with no apparent degradation of the plastics involved, no change to the surface from a hard, glossy plastic.

As all the other answers illuminate, this filter serves to provide protection from fingerprints, smudges, dust, etc., for your camera's lens. Some clear filters even have a hardened coating to enhance impact protection. UV/Haze filters or Skylight filters are/were used on photographic film cameras as color film reacts to UV wavelength light. Those filters blocked transmission of UV light to the film but also furnished a protective "layer" to the camera lens. UV/Haze and Skylight filters have a slight color tint and could affect the color captured by a digital photo sensor, which isn't affected by UV wavelength light. Hence, the "clear" filter has an application in digital photography. Look for one with high quality optical glass and multi-coated to prevent ghosting and flare in your photos from light sources and reflections. No doubt, this filter from Nikon likely meets those requirements.

I assume so. A quick Google search shows that either with or without "A"-the filter is compatible.

No not that I know of. I had it installed by a professional but I didn't see any filter.
