Product Description
This UV Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which
can cause blur and to which many color films react with a blue cast. These
filters should be called UV-Blocking Filters, because there are filters for
technical applications that pass UV radiation and block all the other
wavelengths. Nevertheless, the short term UV Filter has become established
among photographers.
UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by
the sea and in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance and
disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colorless, color
rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast,
and no increase in exposure is required. That makes a UV Filter very suitable as
protection of the front element of the taking lens against dust, flying sand,
sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is
recommended for analog color and black-and-white as well as digital photography.
