Product Description
Digitally Optimised (DG) Filters EX DG filters benefit from Sigma's multi-layer lens coating, developed to counteract the highly reflective characteristic of image sensors. With older style filters, light would reflect off the image sensor, bounce off the lens and filter elements and re-enter the image sensor, creating a ghost image. The multi-layer coating dramatically reduces this effect. In addition to this, an optimum, neutral colour balance is ensured, increasing the white balance accuracy of the digital camera. Multi-coated UV Filter This filter perfectly eliminates the harmful effect of ultraviolet light. The multi-coated UV filter can be used with both colour and black-and-white film anddigital sensors. This is the most suitable filter for protective use and generalphotography.

 Saved my D90 with 18-105mm lens September 4, 2010
Oded Souffan (Israel)
My lens caps got squashed into my 18-105mm lens in the car's trunk. Luckily, I had this filter on the lens. The filter got broken completely, and I had shreds of glass all over my real lens' glass. It took me some time to get all the glass pieces out of the lens, but after I was done, it seems that my lens survived. Thank got I had this filter on my lens!
 Never buy this lens filter from Amazon. August 31, 2010
Abhay Naik
I bought total of two sigma lens filters from Amazon. The first one I returned as there was dust on the filter. Amazon shipped me a replacement with overnight shipping. But again the same thing happened with the other filter. I am still to receive the 52mm UV filter from amazon. I will get it by tomorrow so will post more here.
One more thing to notice. There is no EX grade for this filter. Sigma only makes DG UV filter with multi-coating. So even though the title says EX, you will get DG only. I called Adorama and even they had no clue about this.
P.S. I have not tested this lens yet. Once I finish testing, I will post more details. The rating are only based on my initial review of this filter.

So clear, that if you hold it up it looks like a metal ring with nothing inside.
Quality Filter at Reasonabl Price July 6, 2010
Audio Fan (Oakland, CA USA)
I got this filter for my Nikon 18-105 VR len. The filter fits perfectly to the lens for extra protection. The quality of the pictures indoors and outdoors is unaffected. Overall it is a very good multi-coated filter at reasonable price.
Great filter & protector (with a few things to note) April 17, 2010

I got this mainly because I wanted a lens protector that wouldn't interfere with the picture-taking on my new DSLR. It works great as a filter and protector and I would highly recommend it. I just have two things to note about it: (1) As other reviewers noted, it's REALLY hard to clean, so try to not get your fingerprints on it or you'll be spending the next half an hour or more cleaning it. (2) I don't know if it was just the one I got, but it took me forever to finally get it on my lens correctly because the threading just wouldn't line up. My husband said that it probably just wasn't made for my camera (Canon Rebel T1i) and even suggested returning it and getting another filter, but I was persistent enough that I finally got it lined up *just right* and it went on perfectly once you get it--it's just hard to find. Otherwise, I have no real complaints about this fine product and would recommend it to anyone!
