a few reviewers have commented on a lack of colored filters - does it at least have the blue filter for looking for corneal abrasions?

There are no blue filters, there are no other shapes but circular filters. It is a really plain vanilla , really one trick pony type ophthalmoscope.

Thank you, everyone. Looks like it does NOT have a filter. Sounds good to me.

It is translucent and will filter all colors out, except the color it is. However, it should not affect any focal properties.

I agree I wish there was a filter thread. I also really like the rotating LCD screen on the Canon.

It's pretty decent! It's a bit grainy, and you can only zoom in like once before it gets into super gross and grainy, it has a blue tint to photographs. but here's a regular zoom pic with no filters:https://www.dropbox.com/s/itdukx4wzj3u3j5/2013-06-22%2013.30.41.jpg

No it doesn't.. But the flash and diffuser make up for it in macro pictures so a red filter isn't needed.

No it does not but a polorizing filter will impove color and a UV offers protection. Without any filter it is a great lens.

I don't own this, but one of the reviews posted here says no filters are required. Thought that might help you.

It has a mesh filter but a tiny amount of ground filters through, in mine at least.

Hi Fishguy- Thank you for your email. I have checked and there is not blue glass.

Yes there is a small cone shaped filter inside of the outer screen. It is it slides out on a track and is somewhat hard to get apart to clean the inner filter. You may not notice it's still there. If you loose it I have bought replacements from amazon so that I can wash mine and have another to use. Hope this helps.

I've been reading and reading trying to find out about this and I haven't found the words "red eye reduction" anywhere except on your post. So, it really does have a red eye reduction feature? I and many in my family have blue eyes and without that feature we look a little wild in photos. That makes it a deciding factor in my purchase. Thanks.

It was a gift. I don't remember color filters. Just the emergency cone, that makes it look like a mini orange light saber.

What kind of effect are you looking for? These filters are not designed to make big changes in color, they are to make blues a little bluer, greens a little greener and so on. As an example, if the sky is a lite blue , the 1/2 blue filter can be set to make the sky a slightly more blue. The "UV" filter removes some glare when used in direct sun light, Fluorescent lighting tends to change the color temperature and not in a good way, the use of the "FLD" filter can make the lighting look more like Tungsten lighting. The "CPL" filter is maybe the hardest filter to use, it is hard to see the difference that rotating the dial makes. The "CPL" filter is a "Polarizing" filter, fishermen use "Polarizing Sunglasses to be able to see in to the water and see the fish. The "CPL" filter helps in high glare places like looking thru a window in direct sun light. To see how it works, go to a river or lake and hold the filter up to one eye with one hand and rotate the dial with the other while looking into the water. The star filters require sharp/ strong points of light try setting up Xmas lights around a window or door and view it thru the filter, the number stands for the number of arms that extend out. (star-4 = four arms/ lines, star-6 =6, star-8 =8) The main thing to remember is that the view finder and or monitor on todays digital cameras are small and it is difficult to see the changes these filters make, I use a 26" HD high definition (at least 1080p) monitor using a HDMI cable thru the video out on my Canon Rebel T4i Camera. I hope this helps.

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

No, I use a polorizing filter that will boost color. I also have a UV that does protect the lens. It 's a great lens without any as well
