Nikon 72mm ND protection filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I received the 72mm ND clear Nikon filter on time and I am using it now.

The product is good, and Amazon’s service is fast and reliable.

Nikon 67mm Clear Filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This will definitely provide protection for your expensive and not so expensive lenses. My only complaint is the price – it is too expensive compared to Hoya or other makers. The other filters provide the same protection anyway.

Absolute necessity for Nikon DSLR lenses
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Just a plain UV filter, but adds the necessary protection for the lens – could have gone with a cheaper one, but why risk picture or lens damage after spending all that money on a Nikon DSLR??? Great physical fit for both of my Nikon lenses.

A Must Have
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you want your lens to be protected from dirt or even possible damage, you better have a good UV filter on each of your lenses.

I brought this to protect nikon 18 -200 lens. Put it on the lens and forgot about it. Have not made any comparisons with and without the filter. I doubt very much if it makes any difference I can see.

Nikon’s NC Filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Nikon neutral color filter is bright and clear, with excellent glare reduction.

The Nikon lens protector filter is replacing a Quantaray protector filter, which I cracked with a miss-step in rough country.

I actually prefer the Nikon filter over the Quantaray filter. This is not a negative remark about Quantaray’s fine filters. More of a personal preference, the Nikon NC filter just seems brighter to me.

I’ll give it an A+ and of course it does a great job of keeping foreign items off my expensive lens.

Perfect for the nikon 12-24mm wideangle zoom
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I recently bought the Nikon 12-24mm wideangle zoom lens and bought this UV filter to protect it. It is very thin and it does not make any difference in your field of view which is what you look for with a wideangle like this. I strongly recommend UV filters to protect lenses. The other day my wife accidentaly (that’s what she told me!!!) drop my Nikon D200 which had the Nikon 18-200 VR zoom lens. It was inside its bag but when I took it out to take a picture I heard a terrifying noise… broken glass. When I started to see what it was I saw the lens-cap inside the filter ring and it was so stucked that I had to unscrew the filter in order to check my lens. Fortunately the filter was the only thing broken. If that filter hadn’t been there the broken thing would have been my precious lens and a heart attack would had come later.

With your eyes closed protect your lenses with UV filters and I strongly recommend this one for any 77mm filter sized lens, even a wideangle.

NC, Not UV…
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a Nikon NC (Neutral Clear) filter and it’s recommended by both myself and many professionals. It’s so clear if you’re holding it you can’t see the glass within the metal ring.

This isn’t a UV lens; it’s a Neutral Clear lens.

I own a D700 and asked the other professionals on DPReview and Nikon NC filters came highly recommended.

The way to go
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I was using a cheaper brand on an F2.8 70-200 Nikon lens. I was wondering if the NC filter would improve the performance. After changing to this filter there is no doubt in my mind that the quality of my shots has improved a small but visible amount. Every bit helps!

Neutral Clear 52mm filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I intend to use it for Nikon 8400 with a a step up adapter. Promaster uv filter that it is replacing causes vignetting. Eventhough nikon uv is not advertised as thin filter, it causes virtually no vignetting. Its vignetting is visible only if you digitally zoom by 10x as a small shadow in left corner. This feedback is not relevant for other cameras except when vignetting might be an issue.

Very Nice!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Yeah, it was a little more expensive than some of the other options… But I’m putting it on a $500 lens. I want the pictorial results to be as good as the lens is expensive. It makes sense to put the best protection on the lens.

Very pleased with the purchase
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The build quality and clear (non-tinted), visibly neutral color of the Nikon NC filters remind me of the Heliopan Slim Version filters I own.

The Nikon NC is *not* a UV filter, but digital sensors are not sensitive to UV light. A UV filter is not needed. From a functional standpoint the Nikon NC performs the same as a UV filter.

I am very pleased with the purchase and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and others.

Good…but $$$
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
It’s a piece of flat glass that protects the front element of my 18-200mm VR Nikkor lens. It has threads for, um, threading and it is called NC for “No color.” And it costs more than many point and shoot digital cameras.

But it’s guaranteed not to vignette the corners of the shot at full 18mm wide angle.

And it says “Nikon” on it. Still. I could have filled my gas tank (the new universal unit of conversion) 1.5 times with what this filter cost….

Your F2.8 lenses deserve this
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
UV Filters are usually most people buy just mainly to protect the lens, so am I. I never picky about UV or NC filters, so I settled all my filters on Hoya (reason is I bought few of the Hoya special filters such as Circular Polarizer, and Star-8) and I used to love Hoya filters until a month ago.

I got myself a 2nd hand Nikkor 105mm VR Macro F2.8, the previous owner sold it to me together with the Nikon 62mm NC Filter attached. I was amazed by the clarity the Nikon NC Filter was. You can test it out by simply putting the filters on top of a piece of white paper to check the clarity. Hoya UV had a slight yellowish, else Nikon is clearly a winner.

I threw my Hoya 77mm UV and got myself this Nikon 77mm NC filter. My 17-55mm F2.8 never been so good before.

Better than using a UV filter, but it is thick
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have always had an issue with using UV filters since they will slightly tint your photo. These Nikon clear filters are great for lens protection and Nikon makes these with quality. I quit using UV filters and now only use clear filters for lens protection. The only disadvantage is the Nikon clear filters are thick so they will cause vignette on several wide angle lenses.

the filter is awesome, thin, clear, I don’t have instrument to measure, but if it effects the picture, I obviously don’t see it

Excellent lens protector!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I have not found any color distortions to my images so far on a Nikon D90. I think it’s more of a lens protector than a filter since it doesn’t do UV filtering. But, I bought it because I wanted it do just that – to protect my original lenses from scratches and dust. The ring is thin, so it hugs close to the original lens and doesn’t affect the field of view. Or at least I didn’t notice it. The ring is metal and sturdy, too.

There is one thing I do wonder about. Since the ring is some type of metal and the filter is glass, does it induce static? I use a lens brush, and several times I noticed that after brushing the filter and blowing at the same time, I still see a few tiny dust particles that won’t get off the filter. But after I stop brushing, wait a few seconds, and then blow again, the particles finally lift off and go away. Would be nice if they made these filters static-resistent, too.

Quality wise, this thing gets 5 stars. But only because of the price, I’m giving it 4. I do wish the price was cheaper. But then again, perhaps you get what you pay for. Still, I wish it was cheaper:)

A MUST HAVE FOR YOUR NIKON DIGITAL CAMERA
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
THIS IS A MUST HAVE ITEM, IF YOU OWN ANY OF THE NIKON DIGITAL CAMERAS

AND HAVE THE PROTECTIVE HOOD OPTION, HOWEVER THE NIKON FILTER IS WAY TO OVERPRICED, THE HOYA VERSION OR THE TIFFIN WILL DO JUST AS NICELY AS THIS OVERPRICED PROTECTIVE PIECE OF GLASS

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I’m a newbie to SLR’s and came across several reviewers who said that this protection filter was worth the money for the Nikon 18-200mm lens. So far it’s been excellent — at least for my peace of mind. Sturdy construction. Distortion free. Tested it against different backgrounds without any hint of yellow. Pictures shot with my D90 and Nikon 18-200mm lens look the same with and without the filter to my untrained eyes. I’d say that this protection filter was worth the money. Shipping time was reasonable, about on par with most merchants on Amazon.
