I haven’t read anything about Canon filters but I wouldn’t be surprised. If there is interest, I may go and purchase a fake filter on eBay and purchase a real one from an authorized retailer.

I don’t think I have the box, container or instructions anymore to even do a comparison. My images look ok so I’m not gonna sweat it.

So no matter is it fake or not, don’t buy it. Go for a Bw, a Hoya HD or a Kenko pro1 instead.

Nikon MC might be the worst uv I ever used! On a 17-40L it produced visible colored edge and got me into the so called correction hell on ps

Unfortunately, I returned my fake filter back to get my refund and forgot to take a picture comparison with the filter on. However, I placed both filters on a white piece of paper and didn’t notice much discoloration. But this is just by looking.

This is really the most important question. After that Lee Morris grip article I bought the knockoff grip for my camera and I’ve had zero issues with it.
