After spending £200 on a lens, I think the insurance this provides protecting my glass is worth it. Screwed on without trouble. It doesn't interfere or prejudice my shots. If you are on the fence, buy with confidence.

As M. Potter says, this is meant as a lens protector, and it works just fine in that capacity. I've noticed no changes in my photographs. I don't know about it helping with haze or whatever, but if you want this as a basic cheap lens protector it works fine in that regard.
But make sure to check your lens diameter before buying! You can either find this at the bottom of your lens barrel near the camera body or at the end on the rim around the lens glass itself. There should be a Ø symbol with a number next to it. This is your lens diameter. If it says Ø 52 then this filter will fit your lens. If not then you need to buy a filter with the appropriate diameter. I can confirm that this fits perfectly on the Nikon D40 kit lens (the 18-55mm).
Also be careful with the screw thread - it can be very easy not to attach it properly so it slides around or is crooked. It can take a few tries to get it on properly, but I expect this is the case with all screw-in filters.
All in all this is a good investment. Scratching this £13 protector rather than your £75+ lens means it pretty much pays for itself should the worst happen!

Please ignore the star rating as I don't actually own this filter, but wanted to reply to Peter Makosch's comments. The reason Peter may not see any difference is because Digital CCDs tend to be less prone to UV effects than film. So for these cameras, treat this as a lense protector and nothing more (or plump for a completely clear lense protector).

Does the job
I have no idea if this affects the image quality or not and there is always a debate to be had about that if you want it. Read more

Excellent Filter
Well made, crystal clear filter which is exactly what you would expect from a maker such as Hoya. Have used them for years and will continue to do so.

Hoya Pro 1 Digital Fliter
I've used these filters before and they certainly help in relation to digital cameras for which they are apparently designed. They do provide good protection to the lens.

Perfect protector for my FZ45
I bought this to cover and protect the lens on my Panasonic DMC-FZ45. As a protector it is great. It's a solid and sturdy piece of aluminium and optical glass. Read more

Does the job as lens protector
Bought this for my 18-55 lens kit just to protect the lens. It does not seem to alter the images captured by the camera which is what I wanted. Read more
