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."

Not really, although I have a tiffen 62mm uv filter primarily to protect the lens against dirt and mist. I have been happy with image quality and lens versatility. I also have used a tiffen 62mm circular polarizer, but it has rarely been necessary. The lens hood works well to reduce glare and "ghosting". Hope this helps.

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.

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 erroniouslly purchased the non coated version for my wife. She is a sunrise/sunset photographer. The non coated version allowed significant lense flare when pointed into the sun. While on vacation, we met another photographer who had the coated UVA filter. She had the same problem we did, only bought the MRC and hasn't had a problem since. I have since purchased a B+W UVA MRC filter for her, among other stupidly expensive filters, but I have wasted enough money buying items "on the cheap" for her hobby to know that you get what you pay for. I buy B+W exclusively for her 5D Mk ii and L series lenses.

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.

No. This is a true Nikon hood. I can't answer to using with a filter, but there is no vignetting with the hood at any focal point.

Dunno. Don't have one. This is not a great filter....returned due to scratches right out of the box...

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.

Yes. I was confused by the picture of the filter too. The AC5000 unit (black, silver control area, blue UV light tower unit) used to use 2 filters "pushed together" on top of each other, but now it seems to be a single filter and more expensive too! Yikes!Hope this helps.

I would think that the polarizer would help. The same principle that makes this lens filter work on water reflections will help with your painting reflections.

I would not stack more than 2 filters. There probably won't be any effect on sharpness, but you could get vignetting depending in the lens. Try it, if it works fo9r you, it's OK.

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.

Yes there are. I bought the Sigma polarizing filter and it attached securely onto the UV filter.

Yes! The quality is not amazing, however its perfect size and I love the original filter. You won't be disappointed. :) I used it for my wedding instead of a photo booth and everyone loved it

The filter has two sides: glossy and matte. The glossy side is quite reflective. The matte side is far less reflective, but does slightly increase the glare reflecting off my monitor. This is especially apparent when the background is black or a dark color. This is something that could be improved in future iterations. Still, as it reduces the harsh light emanating from the monitor, it is totally worth it!
