User Experience Focus

UX in the series name stands for User eXperience, indicating all the experiences that users will acquire through using these filters and all that comes with them. By naming this series UX, we aim to offer users better individual experiences through all the activities connected with photography.

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
• 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, ensuring more vivid images. In addition, 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: Added to the anti-reflective coating, this coating repels water drops and makes it easier to clean the filter surface from dirt or fingerprints.

Design Considerations

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