Impact of UV Rays

Though not visible to the naked eye, UV rays may affect images when shooting in locations like seaside or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images.

Benefits of UV Filters

• Suppresses the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes poor effects on images.
• Compatible with both film and digital cameras, assuring more vivid images.
• Can be kept constantly attached to serve as everyday lens protection.

Coating Features

• Anti-reflection coating prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.
• Water-repellent coating added to the anti-reflective coating repels water drops and makes it easier to clean the filter surface from dirt or fingerprints.
