Zeikos ZE-UV67 67mm Multi-Coated UV Filter Review
Truth be told, I’d never heard of Zeikos until I stumbled onto this filter in Amazon. The company’s website wasn’t exactly helpful in providing useful information, but they do manufacture a broad range of photographic and electronics products and were present in PMA ‘09, the imaging industry’s largest event.
Plus, I was having trouble finding a decent 67 mm UV filter in Amazon, where I was also buying my Olympus 50-200 mm f/2.8-3.5 SWD lens. AND the product page told me it was made in Japan and was multi-coated. Not as expensive as the B+Ws and other top-name brands and not as inexpensive as the usual Tiffens (with which I’ve had some negative experience), I decided to risk it.
It is a matter of personal preference to use protection filters or not, and I openly subscribe to the “pro filter” group for myriad reasons — not least of which because it is easier to remove fingerprints and general gook from filters than it is from lenses.
The Zeikos 67 mm UV filter is being a good experience so far. It has been on the lens for almost two months and is behaving exactly as it should, protecting the lens surface and not affecting my photos. I’ve tested the lens with and without it and can see no difference in the results, which is good. The filter feels solid and well made.
Sometimes it’s a good thing to take a risk!
