A high-quality and durable addition to your photography gear, the Nxt Plus 40.5mm 10-Layer Hmc Multi-Coated Uv Lens Filter is an essential tool for any photographer. This advanced Uv filter, manufactured by Hoya, is designed to protect your lens from scratches, rain, dirt, and dust, serving as your first line of defense in maintaining the longevity of your equipment. Crafted from Schott B270 glass, this Uv lens filter is polished smooth and coated with a waterproof top layer, making cleaning a breeze. Dirt, smudges, and water can be easily wiped away, ensuring your lens remains pristine and ready for your next shoot. The Nxt Plus Uv filter boasts 10 layers of Hoya's patented anti-reflection (Ar) multi-coatings. This innovative design enhances your images by improving contrast, color, and sharpness, while allowing a 98% light transmission. This means you can leave it on your lens at all times without compromising the quality of your images. The filter's frame is precision milled from lightweight aluminum, resulting in a slim, low-profile design that is compatible with all lenses, including super wide-angles. The frame features full front filter threads, allowing you to attach a normal lens cap or stack additional filters like a circular polarizer or neutral density. Beyond protection, this Uv filter plays a crucial role in filtering through Uv haze. This is particularly beneficial when shooting at higher altitudes, where the filter helps cut through the haze to increase contrast and improve color. The Nxt Plus Uv filter has a superior Uv Cut Point of 360nm or L36, making it a versatile and effective choice for photographers of all levels..
