Because preserving the integrity of your camera lens and enhancing the quality of your images is paramount, the 62mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is an essential accessory for any photography enthusiast. This high-quality filter, manufactured by the reputable brand Tiffen, offers superior protection against dust, moisture, fingerprints, scratches, and damage from cleaning.
Designed to absorb Ultra Violet (UV) light, this filter is particularly effective in reducing the bluish cast or haze often seen in images shot from high altitudes or long distances, especially over water. This is because film is more sensitive to UV light than our eyes, making this filter an invaluable tool for capturing clear, high-quality images.
In addition to its UV absorption capabilities, the 62mm UV Glass Filter also serves as a reliable shield for your lens, protecting it from everyday wear and tear. Its durable construction means it can be kept on your camera lens at all times, providing constant protection without affecting color or contrast in your images.
Tiffen's UV filters are available in a variety of absorption levels and sizes, including the standard UV filter, multi-coated UV MC for extra flare protection, UV Warm that combines UV with Tiffen's '812' warming filter, and several Haze options that absorb varying percentages of UV light. There's also a UV Wide Angle Thin filter specifically designed for use with wide angle lenses.
Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the 62mm UV (Ultra Violet) Glass Filter is a versatile and effective tool for enhancing your photography and safeguarding your valuable equipment.
