Effects of UV Rays

Although invisible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect images when shooting in environments such as seaside or mountainous areas, causing blurred contours or faded, whitish images.

Benefits of UV Filters

• Suppresses the UV spectrum in daylight that can degrade image quality.
• Compatible with both film and digital cameras, ensuring more vivid images.
• Can be kept attached constantly to serve as everyday lens protection.

Coating Features

• Anti-reflection coating reduces unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.
• Water-repellent coating added to the anti-reflective layer repels water droplets and facilitates cleaning of dirt or fingerprints from the filter surface.

Design and Compatibility

The slim black aluminium frame prevents vignetting even on wide-angle lenses and fits lenses with a 62 mm filter thread.
