on the images showed part is made in japan , on every single image it shows , its written japan on the filter , but i just received mine today , on the filter it didnt write anything but on the box it said made in china . i did order this filter just because it said its made in japan , you are giving wrong information to your customers

Functionally, this is a top-quality filter in terms of glass (on a par with HMC, somewhat more difficult to clean than B+W MRC, totally planar using the arms' length test, pretty much immune to ghosting) and overall value. That said, I would draw your attention to the following:1. The mount on this is not tremendously smooth, almost a sandblasted anodized aluminum. This would not be significant if not for the fact that you can feel this "grit" when it is screwing into the smooth front of a camera lens (like the Fuji X100).2. The mount loads from the rear using a tension ring, so it is not suitable for anything but 1mm glass. The tradeoff is that you still get threads (and a shallow enough overall depth) to add another filter (some people may look at cheap UVs as a way to get cheap but elegant lens mounts).3. The diameter of the mount actually exceeds by about 1mm total the size of most 49mm mounts. This means that 51mm clamp-on accessories (such as lens hoods designed for "49mm") won't fit.4. The plastic filter case alone is worth the price. It is very similar to a B+W filter case (though very oversized for the filter it contains).5. The front rim engraving is weird and ugly. For a private-label product like this, simple pad printing in black would have been more elegant (and cheaper).I don't want to scare you away from this, but understand that this is not a $30 filter. For my purpose, which is basic protection for a Fuji X100 (using a filter seals the lens cylinder when you have the adapter mounted), it's great. In sum, this is inexpensive, highly functional, and priced at a point where if it dies protecting your lens, you won't lose any sleep.

I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased with the Fotasy Pro 40mm MRC Multi-Resistant Coating Super Slim MC UV HD Filter.I bought it for added lens protection for my Fuji X20. It screws securely onto the front of the X20's factory lens, and does not appear to degrade image quality at all.To test the filter, I used a tripod and identical camera settings to snap a half dozen identically-composed photos both with and without the filter. Even while "pixel peeping" at 150% magnification, I could detect no noticeable difference in sharpness or coloration. Then I took the camera and filter on a walk around the neighborhood and shot 167 photos during the "golden hour" (around 7:30 p.m. in the summer). Even though I shot many pictures into the bright evening light, I found only two in the entire bunch that had any hint of lens flare. Clearly, the coating on this UV filter is surprisingly good, since cheap glass ought to have flared a lot more frequently in those conditions. Although I'm not a professional photographer, I am an experienced amateur who is fastidious about image quality. This filter certainly meets my standards, and I suspect it will meet yours as well.A note about color: I think this (black) filter looks nice mounted on the front of my silver and black X20. However, the thin gold stripe around the outside of the filter housing may bother folks who obsess about camera aesthetics. It doesn't bother me, but I thought I should mention it.Overall, if you want a UV filter that offers good lens protection for a Fuji X20 without noticeably degrading image quality, this is a great choice. (I assume it will fit an X10 as well, since I believe the thread sizes are identical on both cameras.)[UPDATE 8-27-2013: After many hundreds of photos using this filter, I'm very impressed with its quality. I've had almost zero troubles with odd color casts, lens flares, loss of sharpness, reflections, etc. It's just like using the naked lens, except that this UV filter is there to guard against scratches. Although it screws very securely onto the X20 lens, I have noticed that small dust particles can somehow work their way behind it. Not a problem--I just unscrew it and wipe and blow everything clean every few days. Also, the coating on this filter is apparently quite good. After shooting and watching video from my sailboat, I noticed that small droplets of spray onto the lens tend to run off and disappear almost immediately. It's unbelievable that I purchased this for under $8, but even at the full listed price of $28 it would be a good deal.]

Own 3 of these for my lenses. Easy to clean, no flares, ghostings, and doesn't degrade image quality. Will buy again when need to. The slim profile is niceEdited: 2/24/2020 (-1 star)Decided to order another 1 and it says, "Made in China" now. The last 3 that I owned all says "Japan" right on the filter frame. This one doesn't have anything, but does say made in china on the box. I'm not against all products made in China, but the switch doesn't sit too well with me. Tested this new filter a few times and seems to perform like my old ones, but will need to use it under different conditions in order to really know..

The threads on this are pure crap. As other reviewers have noted, the threads aren't cut correctly, and get stuck putting on or taking off. I'm not surprised that some have broken the glass trying to put on or take off the filter. The filter glass is good, for the price, but not worth it.

Very pleased with filter. I purchased a 95mm UV to protect my front glass and I was worried about having some kind of distortion because of the price of the filter, however, after shooting about 60 photos with and without the filter, I found no distortion or affect on camera's performance at all. The filter is nice and thin, yet the lens cap attaches the same as without a filter. The gold ring around the filter actually accents the lens to look real nice. My son had purchased two of these filters and recommended to me. I will definitely purchase again.

This is a nicely finished UV filter in silver frame, which complements the look of Zeiss and Leica silver chrome lenses without compromising function. Besides, the value is peerless. I have used Fotasy products for a while (filters, adapters) and I recommend them over other brands when one's in the market for the dreaded "third party" stuff. These items may be third party, but they're first rate.

looks good, glass is unobtrusive to image quality, my glass cracked when I unscrewed after a week which was a little annoying, would not recommend or am I going to re-purchase. All that said it may have been my fault, but pretty sure I did not force it in any way and ive never broken a filter In years of using them.

Excelente filtro, no veo que provoque cambios de coloracion, deformaciones o interfiera en la fuminsidad del lente, es una opcion muy economica y muy buena, talvez el unico invonveniente es que e ocasiones hay manchas que se hace muy dificil limpiarlas, al final con un poco de pasiencia termina limpio el filtro.

Inmediatamente se ve y se siente como un filtro de precio mucho mayor, vidrio delgado con recubrimiento plástico, excelente calidad que no reduce la cantidad de luz, lo que para mí es de lo más importante.

Es un filtro de buena fabricacion que protegera tu lente sin problemas de que distorcione la resolucion de tu camara, lo recomiendo, ademas en el tono plateado se ve bien en cualquier lente.
