Impact of UV Rays

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

Benefits of UV Filters

• UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes poor effects on the images.
• This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras, assuring more vivid images.
• By keeping it constantly attached, this filter serves as everyday lens protection.

Coating Features

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

Design Considerations

The slim frame assures no vignetting even for wide-angle lenses.
