Due to the short wavelength of UV rays, chromatic aberrations can occur with lenses that are not high quality coated, resulting in a deterioration in image quality. UV filters are effect filters that effectively block ultraviolet light and can therefore contribute to a better image result. UV filters also provide reliable protection against dust, splashes and scratches on the front lens. The UV filter can remain on your lens all year round and is easy to clean. The UV filter has excellent optical properties. The high-quality, plane-parallel ground filter glass sits in a precisely manufactured metal frame. This does not reduce the performance of your lenses when in use. The filter has an additional front thread, which allows other filters to be combined. With a height of only approx. 6 mm it is particularly thin, light and compact. The supplied protective cover protects it from damage during transport.
