Impact 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: Prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.
• Water-repellent coating: Applied over the anti-reflective coating, it repels water droplets and facilitates cleaning of dirt or fingerprints from the filter surface.

Design Considerations

The slim black aluminium frame design prevents vignetting even when used with wide-angle lenses.
