How is the glare on this? My current UV filter is a Tiffen, and the light reflection is unbearably noticeable.

I find it really good in terms of glare. I have it on a Nikon 35mm 1.8 and the images always have good color and contrast in my view.

I personally did not like this filter because it had the glare and it also was not coated properly. I ended up sending it back for a refund and went with the B+W version. My photos came out poorly with it on.

Ive found these to be very nice filters. No glare that wasn't already existent in the lens to begin with. No UV filter will wipe out all glare or lens flares that are already from the lens. The key is to not add any more of its own.

Ive had good experience so far. No abnormal or ugly glare beyond any from the lens itself.

Mine is the HD clear as well as another answer. It's not as good as an actual anti-glare shield will be. I find that it's okay in bright light but it is much like the iPad's screen so will reflect some if you're trying to watch video next to a window. The reason I bought this one was because the anti glare protectors do tend to reduce resolution.

As far as I know, the glass is multicoated, which is similar to have a high quality UV filter (like b+w). I have the first version and a b+w filter, which is better, if by some reason it gets scratched, it's something disposable, not like a lens. But who knows maybe they corrected some CA or barreling which would be a wise move, if so, then it would be worth the extra money.

Yes, I have both. There isn't much point to the Clear UV Haze filter as far as having any positive effect on your photographs. It used to matter with film, but in digital the camera is immune to UV anyway so there is no positive difference in the images captured. On the minus side, adding a filter gives you one more thing that can be smudged or dusty and one more layer of glass to invite flare if you're shooting into bright light or sun. Meanwhile, the circular polarizer has a pretty major effect on photographs, particularly outdoors. It eliminates reflected light in one direction, which enables you to cut glare from water, roads, windows, and sky. There are tradeoffs too; sometimes it makes the sky too deep and unnaturally blue. But you can usually adjust to deal with that. It can also help clouds stand out more if that's what you're trying to do.

I use a thin uv filter mainly for protection of the front element. It works fine! This is a great lens and I think you will enjoy it! Take care, Doc

We do notice some reflection from some windows that are across our den from the TV set, but it doesn't bother us much. During shows we are deeply interested in, I closethe blinds on those windows & it is perfect. The picture is so good and colors so accurate that we don't let the glare bother us in our particular setting. I have not tried thefilters you mention, however. If it bothers you, I'd try experimenting with that.

It is a matte screen, so not much glare. But any screen in certain lighting will have at least some glare.

Hi, not too much glare with room lighting. Overall pretty happy with it but keep in mind that you cannot adjust the angle of the display (at least I have not figured it out). but that has not been a problem. Fairly quick but slower than my mac book pro likely because of the solid state drive.

To me...it's no glare. I have it sitting inside a cabinet so I suppose this could affect it, but I have had no issues at all with glare. Hope this 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 you will see vignetting near the 24mm range and maybe in the 30mm range. If you use the polarizing filter take off the UV filter first. You do not need both on and the more you stack the worse the vignetting will get.

Amazon sells a Tiffen 77mm UV Protection filter that should work with this camera. I haven't tried it myself but, you could always return it, if it doesn't work out for you.

Its doesn't do a lot more than just protect the (very expensive to replace) camera LCD. Mine has scratches all over it and it's taken a huge beating... So nice that I can replace it for about $30... But to answer your question, glare reduction in minimal. Finger prints are easy to remove and I don't worry about using some special 'cloth', since i can replace it for so cheap... I have one on both my Sony RX100 & my Nikon D4. Get it!

Glare is not a problem. We purchased because our grandson took out 2 tv's with toys leaving his grip. The only thing I notice is that the natural "dust" still gets on the tv, so I remove the protector and dust. I recommend this product!

I don't have any problems with glare, it is not a glossy screen, it is more of the soft matte finish.

The macro ability is almost too good. I was disapointed, for a while there, that it would not focus, at times, with a Polaroid and UV filters. I later realized that it would focus on any dust on the filter (especially when the sun is not in your back).

The screen is matte. Mine sits next to a bright window, I've never noticed any glare or reflection. It's like a bottomless pit for any light it didn't emit.
