Simply the Best

Have used different high quality, excellent Clear filters for my Olympus Pro lenses. Including B+W, etc. To my eye, these Olympus filters standout for their brilliant clarity, no distortion and superb construction. An excellent match for the Olympus lenses.

Nice filter!

This filter is a nice complement to my Zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 PRO lens.

Looks good!

It looks as if it will do the job of protecting the front element of its lens from dirt, scratches and impacts.

Superb

Heretofore, I purchased the excellent B+W Clear filter for use when needed with my Olympus lenses. Then, I decided to try the more expensive Olympus Clear filter on my 17mm f1.2 and 90mm Macro. I am very impressed! Absolutely crystal clear, and resulting images look wonderful — truly as though no filter at all was in front of the lens. To my eye, I prefer it even to the already terrific B+W, and will likely pay the extra amount for it when needed in the future.

Excellent product!

Excellent product. I frequently use clear filters on my Olympus lenses during inclement weather. Use this one on the 17mm PRO. On other PRO lenses use the top B+W Clear. Both brands are very good. The Olympus is more expensive, but I finally decided to try it. It has absolutely no negative impact on images taken when using it. They are extremely clean, crisp and clear. To my eye, I have a slight preference for this filter over the B+W.

Good protection for Oly Tough TG-5

This filter is well made and provides good protection for my TG-5. As a bonus the filter will also fit on the Telephoto adapter lens (1.7x) sold by Olympus. BTW, I also got the wide angle adapter and it will not take any filter.

Olympus makes great products!

The Olympus mm protective clear glass filter is a quality product. I would have given it 5-Stars, except that when I got it, I found a partial finger print near the center of the lens that has damaged the coating on it. It will not come off! You can only see it in certain light. I have not contacted Adorama about it and probably won't. Not sure if it affects the image taken by the camera or not, but it certainly doesn't help.

Happy With Service

OEM filters arrived in excellent condition, original packaging, within three days of the order, as Adorama projected. I'm very satisfied with Adorama and will likely order from them again.

Have used different high quality, excellent Clear filters for my Olympus Pro lenses. Including B+W, etc. To my eye, these Olympus filters standout for their brilliant clarity, no distortion and superb construction. An excellent match for the Olympus lenses.

Before you venture out with your camera, ensure your lens is safeguarded with the Olympus 72mm ZUIKO PRF-ZD72 PRO Protection Filter. This high-quality, clear filter offers a robust shield for your lens, diligently working to minimize the risk of dust, scratches, and moisture damage. The filter's optical clarity ensures that your image quality remains uncompromised, allowing you to capture stunning, high-contrast images with ease.

The ZUIKO PRF-ZD72 PRO Protection Filter is enhanced with the Zuiko Extra-low Reflection Optical (ZERO) coating. This advanced thin-coating technology significantly reduces surface reflection, thereby enhancing the clarity and contrast of your images. The ZERO coating also employs the vacuum deposition method, a process that fortifies the filter against scratches and ensures a consistently low-reflective performance.

Constructed with optical glass, the filter is housed within a one-piece matte black anodized aluminum ring. This design feature not only adds to the filter's durability but also minimizes the chances of vignetting when used with a wide-angle lens. The filter's glass edge is coated in black to further reduce reflections, ensuring your images are free from unwanted glare.

The frame of the ZUIKO PRF-ZD72 PRO Protection Filter features knurling, a detail that enhances grip and makes the filter easy to attach and remove. The ring also includes front threads, a handy feature that allows for the attachment of additional filters or lens caps.

In summary, the Olympus 72mm ZUIKO PRF-ZD72 PRO Protection Filter is an indispensable accessory for photographers seeking to protect their lens while maintaining optimal image quality.
