I had a 77mm polarizer filter that got rain drops on it and it was ruined. Does rain water dissolve the coating on the filter?

Never heard of fresh or rain water damaging a polarized filter lens. Salt water might. Sorry, wish I could tell you what happened. I know it has a plastic coating on it.

I've had that happen a few times, it hasn't done a thing to mine... they seem to remain unaffected with the Nikon brand..

No, rainwater should not eat the coating. You do want to dry it and keep it out of the rain if possible. The one issue you can get is if water gets into the ring it can get between the glass sandwich and ruin the filter. In 30 years, I've never had that happen with a Nikon CPL, but I have heard of it from others.

Yes, but the threads for the filter are not very deep, and it falls off easily, especially the polarizer, unless you always rotate it in the correct direction (as in screwing it on.)Kathi

It depends upon what you want. I use polarizing filters and a few other. If you purchase i good quality such as B&W; they will not affect your quality. I use a filter to protect my lens especially in dust or sand. You Don't need to have a filter on all the time

A high quality filter should not degrade the image quality in any noticeable way. There are multi-coated filters available optimized for lens protection, and if these are not easy to find then a UV filter will work fine. I agree with the previous answer that protecting the front element of the lens is a very most important thing, unless all your work is in a clean dry studio with the camera on a tripod.

The info given on this filter lens are as follows. the fully coated surfaces increase light transmission and absorb almost all range of uv rays to give clearer and sharper picture with less haze. so i will say yes

This will happen with virtually any filter medium, for a little while, whenever you first add the new filter substrate.....You can reduce {but not eliminate}this effect , by rinsing the filter media prior to installation....

Yes...But this is a heavy gel made to go over a light, NOT the quality of gel filters made to cover a lens.I'm sure it would degrade the image. Also it is shipped rolled and never looses its curl.

Please be noticed that this kind of Lens filters is intended to protect your valuable camera lens against scratches and similar physical damage. Considering this, I don't think this filter may work as a Water-Resistant protection. Therefore, if you plan to use your digital camera pretty close to liquids/humid weather conditions (rain, waterfalls, fountains, etc.) the best protection you may get is using a camera rain cover.

Hi, we have not tried using it on polarised sunglasses as yet but the instructions on the bottle say cleans all lenses especially ones with Zeiss anti-reflective multi-layer coatings, a d it's ammonia free. I don't know what this means really but i hope rhis is of some help.

All filters have an optical coating. It is possible to stack this on or under other filters.

I haven't had any problems with rain or water from my cooler getting on it, but some other reviewers said water would get on the inside of the lens but personally I have not had that problem yet.

I belive it's best to have the best filters on my lens that I can afford. It will save the lens if it is dropped and can be repaird. Which has happened to me
1066472
yes, but. You need to have the clear filter in place. The polarized filter I have won't stay on without the clear filter first.

Please tell me more about this. We stopped using these filters when we noticed that when we boil the filtered water it becomes cloudy and stays cloudy. Our unfiltered city water does not turn cloudy when we boil it. Something is in the filters and is not noticeable until after the water is boiled. ThanksDavid

Use lens cleaner approved for camera lenses (multicoated). Place a drop on lens tissue (not on the filter) and clean. You may need a dry tissues to get residual wetness off. After it is dry then you can use your microfiber cloth to clean up any lint. Repeat as needed.
