UX II UV Filter with Water-Repellent Coating

User Experience

The "UX" in the series name stands for User eXperience, emphasizing the enhanced photographic experience users gain through using these filters and related activities.

Impact of UV Rays on Images

Although invisible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect images, especially in seaside or mountainous environments, causing:

• Blurred contours
• Faded and whitish images

UV Filter Functionality

This filter suppresses the UV spectrum in daylight that can degrade image quality. It is compatible with both film and digital cameras, ensuring more vivid images. Additionally, when kept attached, it provides everyday protection for the lens.

Coating Features

• Anti-reflection coating: Prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.
• Water-repellent coating: Enhances the anti-reflective coating by repelling water droplets and facilitating easy cleaning of dirt or fingerprints from the filter surface.

Design Considerations

The slim black aluminium frame is designed to prevent vignetting, even when used with wide-angle lenses.
