If you've ever had pay to get a lens repaired to replace a damaged front lens element, you know it is well worth it to put on a protective filter. Some people say don't put questionable glass in front of good glass. Maybe they have a money tree in their backyard, but considering the cost of repair, if I had no other choice, I would even put mediocre glass in front of good glass if it saves me the cost of repair and the image quality was only minimally affected. Fortunately, there are choices out there, and for the longest time, I used B+W XS-Pro UV filters on my lenses. The B+W costs a lot more than these Waka filters, but they worked and didn't affect image quality.
Not so long ago, I bought a camera kit for the kids to learn with. There were some cheap ($200-300 lenses) kit lenses that came with the kit and out of habit, I wanted to put a protective filter on those lenses, but I didn't want to pay the B+W prices for a $200 lens. Fortunately, I found these Waka filters and the price was irresistible so I tried them out and got some of the 52mm ones. To my surprise, they seemed very high quality, and the multi-layer coating is real! (i was expecting some false advertising here, considering the price) Needless to say, I was pleased with the price and surprised by the quality.
A few months later, I acquired some new lenses for my own camera and decided to try out these Waka filters again, this time the 67mm and 77mm ones. And once again, I am very pleased with these filters. Very low profile, absolutely no image quality loss that I can tell. It certainly will make no difference for my work, while protecting my new lenses and keeping money in my pocket. After experiencing this quality at this price point, I find it hard to justify the cost of B+W now.
My only question is... the word "Japan" is printed on the lens, but these are clearly manufactured in China. (says so on the box and product description here) So, what does this mean? Is "Waka" a Japanese firm that manufactured these in China? I've just never heard of "Waka" brand before.

Wonderful lens protection!
I just received this 2 days ago. Put it on my camera yesterday and when I was walking into my house the wind caught my glass door and slammed the door handle right into my camera lens and had this filter lens not been there it would have cracked my lens. I’m sad it broke after I just got it but I’m very glad I had it on my camera and avoided having to replace an expensive lens. Will be purchasing a replacement :) The photo I added was right after putting it on, obviously before it broke lol.

One of the significant advantages of this filter is its ease of use. I can quickly screw it into my lens and attach my lens cap to the filter without any complications. This feature is particularly helpful when I'm outdoors, and time is of the essence.
What sets the waka filter apart is its precise construction. Its Ultra Slim design eliminates unwanted vignetting and distortion, ensuring that my images are sharp, clear, and have the perfect contrast with genuine colors.
All things considered, I'm thrilled with the waka 52mm MC UV Filter - Ultra Slim. It's an essential tool for any photographer on a budget, and I highly recommend it for anyone looking to take their photography game to the next level. The dedication and effort invested in making this product are evident, and the result is impressive. So, do yourself a favor and give it a try - you won't regret it!

Der Filter kam gut verpackt und frei von Staub oder Sonstigen in einer kleinen Kunststoff-Box, die passgenau mit Schaumstoff ausgefüllt ist. Der Filter lässt sich einfach und ohne Probleme vor die Linse schrauben, sodass man gleich losfotografieren kann. Ein goldener Rand ziert den Filter, was meiner Meinung nach edel wirkt.
Ich habe keine Spiegelungen oder Verzerrungen aufgrund des Filters vor dem Objektiv feststellen können. Der Fokus funktioniert auch mit Filter noch genau so gut und schnell wie vorher. Aber ich muss mich den anderen Rezensionen hinsichtlich der Farbveränderungen bei den Bildern anschließen. Mit Filter kommt etwas mehr Rot dazu und das Bild wirkt wärmer. Das empfinde ich aber nicht als Nachteil, da man dies, falls einem das nicht gefällt, ohne viel Aufwand im Bildbearbeitungsprogramm am PC ändern kann.
Alles in allem ein guter Schutz für das Objektiv ohne Nachteile bei der Bildqualität.
Ich bin zufrieden.
