Just imagine capturing stunning outdoor photographs without the worry of lens damage or compromised image quality due to harmful UV light. The 52mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter, a high-quality product from the reputable brand Tiffen, offers just that. This durable and reliable filter is designed to protect your camera or camcorder lens against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and damage, making it an essential accessory for your photography gear. This effective UV filter absorbs Ultra Violet light, a feature that is particularly beneficial since film is more sensitive to UV light than our eyes.
This sensitivity often results in a haze or a bluish cast in images, especially when shot from high altitudes or over long distances, particularly over water. By blocking UV light, this filter helps to eliminate this haze, enhancing the clarity and quality of your images. In addition to UV protection, this versatile filter also safeguards your lens from dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and cleaning damage. Since it absorbs no normal light and has no effect on color or contrast, it can be kept on your lens at all times, serving as a constant shield for your camera.
Tiffen's Ultra Violet filters are available in a variety of absorption levels and sizes, including the standard UV filter, the UV MC with multi-coating for extra flare protection, and the UV Warm that combines UV protection with Tiffen's '812' warming filter. There are also several Haze filters that absorb varying degrees of UV light, and a UV Wide Angle Thin filter specifically designed for use with wide-angle lenses. In essence, the 52mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is more than just a lens protector; it's a tool that enhances your photography experience, ensuring you capture the world in its true colors, free from the distortions of UV light.
