Explore the exceptional capabilities of the Breakthrough Photography X2 49mm UV Traction Filter, a must-have tool for professional photographers. Crafted with high-grade AGC glass from Japan, this filter is designed to enhance your photography experience by delivering stunning image quality and critically sharp resolution. The X2 UV Traction Filter boasts an 8-Layer Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC8), a state-of-the-art process that hardens both optical surfaces, increases light transmission, and reduces reflections. This innovative coating achieves true color neutrality while maximizing contrast fidelity, ensuring your images are as vibrant and true-to-life as possible. Constructed with durability in mind, the X2 filter features a unique Traction frame, precisely engineered for easy, secure attachment and removal. This filter is CNC machined with narrow and precise tolerances, guaranteeing the highest level of craftsmanship in every piece. The X2 filter also incorporates Breakthrough's nanotec Nano Coating layer, a technology that repels dirt, water, and other elements by beading rather than absorbing. This makes cleaning your filter faster and easier than ever before, ensuring you can focus on capturing the perfect shot. The ultra-slim 3.5mm double-threaded Traction Frame design eliminates vignetting on wide-angle full-frame setups, reducing light falloff and ensuring a secure fit for lens caps. Laser engraved lettering on the X2's traction frame guarantees that the lettering won't fade or come off, even after consistent use. Each X2 Traction Frame is engraved with a unique serial number, allowing Breakthrough to provide personalized support and verify the authenticity of the filter. This UV filter is also weather-sealed, providing an additional layer of protection for your lens against dust and water, as recommended by leading camera manufacturers like Canon, Nikon, and Sony. Experience the difference with the Breakthrough Photography X2 49mm UV Traction Filter, a high-quality, effective, and innovative solution for professional photographers.

Very good product and packaging.  Long warranty provided.  Fit nicely.

Great product

It looks crystal clear, and I can't see any degradation in sharpness of the images. There might be a little extra flare in night street shots, but I accept that because I don't want to use the hood. I don't see any vignetting at the wide end of the 24-70 zoom. It holds the lens cap well. I love the big lugs; they make is so easy to unscrew.

Just what I expect from Breakthrough Photography!

breakthrough

I always love Breakthrough but make sure you get the X2 or higher.

Awesome filter for protection

The best filter I have ever owned. Highest quality construction with a very shallow metal ring. You should be able to stack two filters without any worry of vignetting.  This filter comes with an engraved serial number that is used to register the 25 year warranty on the Breakthrough Photography website. The metal ring has a textured grip. I'll only be using Breakthrough Filters from now on. They have set the mark very high.

The best of the best. 10 Stars.

I've bought a number of these for various lenses. The quality is consistent and these are the best clear filters I've bought. I find these much more convenient to clean than cleaning the front lens element. Much lighter than B+W brass filters, and the ridges really help in getting them off (all filters bind if left on the lens regularly). I haven't noticed much in the way of extra flares/ghosts, but there definitely is tiny bit more flare shooting into the sun. I may skip this for a fast wide angle I just acquired.

Great construction, NEARLY invisible optics

These are thin and reasonably priced. Very clear optics. Good choice for UV filter.

Excellent filters

Well made, good quality clear glass with a reasonable price

good UV filter for the price

Always a great product by Breakthrough. No issues. Doesn’t affect the image that comes out of my Camera

Breakthrough comes through

Love the quality, love the feel of the ring. 100% always on my lenses.

Best overall filter.

I have purchased countless Hoya and B+W filters over the years but now regard Breakthrough Photography filters as the best value for quality filter solutions.

Excellent Schott Glass Filter

Breakthrough UV filter

Got this to put on an expensive 85mm lens. I generally use a UV filter for general protection, but it still needs to be optically clear with minimal loss. This is my 3rd Breakthrough filter and all are excellent. It comes well protected in a square filter case that doesn't allow the filter to rattle around when stored. Unlike other filters I've bought in the past, my Breakthrough filters have always been clean and dust free out of the box.

The frame is brass with a black finish; raised edging allows a positive grip even with thin gloves on. It threads on and off easily.

Each filter has a laser-engraved serial # that, when registered, gets you a 25 year warranty; a good indication that they stand behind their product. I've also purchased other Breakthrough products that are performing well. Well worth it despite the price, especially for lenses that will be used a lot.

Breakthrough UV Filter - A Good Choice

This is a very high quality filter that does the job.

Great Quality

I think Breakthrough is my new favorite filter brand. There is nothing wrong with my old standby filters like Hoya and B+W, but these filters have such a great feel of quality and the ribbed edge is also a nice plus.

Quality

My new favorite filter brand. Beautiful quality.

I Have Broken Through

I did some research to try to find a replacement for my Hoya UV filter that had developed a smudge. The Breakthrough products seemed to be suggested so I popped and bought one. It has a very nice and thin frame and so far it's very clear and the lens cap fits perfectly.

Replaced my UV filter

This filter is thin, light, and perfect. Does the job. Elegantly designed and produced. Breakthrough is a class act. Very happily will recommend their products.

Very Nice Product

Great filter.  Like these better than the BW Filters

Great Filter

Great slim filter.  Innovative filter design.

Breakthrough X2 filter

Nicely crafted without any issue.  Will buy again.

Nice UV filter

Much better design than my older B+W filters! Easy grip even though thin design. Very happy with purchase of this and a Breakthrough Circular Polarizer, too!

Quality+++++

I have heard about the Breakthrough filters for the past year.  It appears to live up to the reputation. Beautiful build quality, extremely thin, with good finger friction grooves.
