 "Opteka Flash Difusser" 2009-09-18
By Christopher Kimball (St. Augustine, Fl)
When I ordered the Opteka Flash Diffuser for the Sigma EF-500 & EF-530 DG ST & Super Flashes for my Sigma 530 ST, I was looking for something to help even out the light from this very powerful flash. I will admit that when it arrived I was concerned as the packaging was marked as a diffuser for a Canon 580 EX flash.



The Diffuser fit my 530 ST just fine though and works well for what it costs. Most of the time I use flash for real estate photography and this diffuser does a good job of spreading the light out evenly around the room. I would recommend it to owners of the Sigma 530 ST or Super looking for a cheap solution to diffusing your flash.

By Zachary Leingang
Fit my sigma flash perfect, the only thing is the packaging stated it was for a canon flash, but once i put it on it fit perfect, and if it is pushed on properly, it's nice and tight and definetly does it's job and soften's up that harsh light.

 "It's not a dedicated Sigma Diffuser" 2009-03-09
By Angel
This diffuser was designed to snugly fit a canon 580EX flash not the Sigma 530. Attaching the diffuser takes a bit of effort so is removing. The vendor should advertise this product as a universal fit made for Canon flashes instead of advertising it specifically for the Sigma 530 flash only. I was tempted to return the product if not for the shipping which costs more than the item itself.

By Dharma Bum (Palo Alto, CA USA)
The diffuser isn't an exact fit. You have to kind of push it on hard. It's snug and stays on. Works fine as a diffuser.

 "Say goodbye to the ghosting/reflections caused by uncoated protective filters!" 2007-01-23
By JFX Jerskey (Minneapolis, MN)
I bought this filter for my Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX/DC/HSM lens (used with the D200). It replaces a plain UV filter that I had purchased strictly for the sake of protecting the lens. What I didn't know at the time I bought the filter is that the plain UV filter happens to pick up reflection from lights at night. In my case, I had been getting reflections from street lights and cars in my city shots. Lots of Photoshop work to undo those relfections. Bottom line: I've come to know that the protective filter is more than a convenient alternative to the lens cap itself. So, I began looking for coated filters - even for everyday use to protect the lens. The Sigma filter has resolved my issues with relfection. And why Sigma as opposed to a cheaper product? I'm a loyal guy. I've had an incredibly positive experience with the Sigma lens I bought. Very impressive product. And the filter has totally met my expectations. The glass is just beautiful. Asthetically, the black matt finish and gold lettering on the outer ring really round it out for me.

 "Excellent Filter, good price!" 2009-09-20
By Carlos Trejos (MIAMI, FL USA)
This filter has excellent performance, practically no distortion in my photographs and it protects my lens very well.

If you are looking for a filter, don't go with the cheap options, get one that will garantee not only to give protection, but that also has a good glass and it's multicoated.



I've tried original Sony's and the cheap filter kits from Amazon.com, I would not by anything but Sigma Multicoated.

 "Great Value" 2009-07-11
By Anthony C. Pursel
Love my Canon camera but some of the accessories are pricey. This works just fine at a better price.

 "sigma 62mm UV filter" 2009-03-19
By Vance Le
I use this sigma filter mainly for protecting my lense, and it doesn't affect the picture quality at all, which is great. Highly recommend it.

 "Good protective filter" 2009-01-25
By E. Welker (Maryland, USA)
This multi-coated UV filter is great for a protective filter. The multi-coated aspect makes it a little more expensive but I like them far better than the cheap glass of a single or non-coated version. I think it's worth the extra money.

 "Good quality filter" 2008-03-28
By D. Van Hove (Fairbanks, Ak. USA)
Filter appears to be as advertised. It fit well to the threads on the camera lens and is distortion free. External threads are sufficient to allow the lens cap to grip securely.

 "use this filter as lens protector" 2009-09-08
By Richard Dulkin (Clayton, CA)
This product performs as expected, used for lens protection with

minimum photographic distortion or impact. Does the job.

 "Very high quality" 2009-02-20
By Alex Delgado
This was the first multicoated filter I got and you can really see the difference. Don't put cheap filters on your expensive lenses, this sigma filter has very high quality and I guess that might be the reason amazon has it for more than twice of what it was when I bought it...

 "The Best Threaded Glass UV Filter I Have Owned" 2009-01-03
By PJ (GTA, Canada)
In August 2008, I was going to buy the B + W F-Pro UV 010 Double Coated filter for my new Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens. But, the salesperson suggested I try the new-to-his-store Sigma DG 58mm Multi-Coated UV Filter for $10 less than the B + W. If I wasn't happy with the results, he would exchange it for the B + W.



After a couple of weeks of shooting, it wasn't necessary to switch. I have used Hoya, Tiffen, Nikon, and B + W UV glass filters of varying threaded diameters in the last 4 decades. Surprisingly, this Sigma is the best threaded glass UV filter I have owned.

 "Comparable to more expensive filters" 2008-11-30
By P. Saini (New Jersey)
I tend to stay away from filters 30 dollars or less, but thought I would give this one a shot. It looks and feels well built and performs well on both zooms and prime lenses. I usually go with higher end tiffen filters (the digital ht line), but ended up being really happy with this. It has become a semi-permanent filter on the kit lens that came with my camera. Note that this does not come with a protective case, so have one handy.



I'd recommend this for lenses in the price range of 300 to 500 dollars. Anything above that, I'd highly recommend checking out the tiffen digital ht line. They are a bit pricey, but nothing matches them for durability and performance.
