UV Protective Filter for Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM — Reduces UV/Blue Cast, Protects from Dust & Scratches

Made specifically for the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM, this UV filter absorbs ultraviolet radiation that can produce hazy, low-contrast results—common at high altitudes, near the ocean, or on snowy terrain. By cutting UV and reducing the bluish daylight cast, it helps your images show more natural tones and improved clarity in a wide range of outdoor lighting. The filter features a clear, optically neutral construction with a 1x filter factor (+0 stop), so it does not alter exposure, contrast, or color balance. You retain full sharpness, detail, and accurate colors while benefitting from UV reduction. Designed for daily use as a protective barrier, the filter can remain on the lens to guard the front element from scratches, dust, dirt, water spots, fingerprints, and accidental contact. It also offers added protection against bumps, drops, and abrasions, helping to extend the life of your lens investment.
