Make your photography stand out with the unparalleled clarity of the 52mm X4 UV Filter, renowned as the world's sharpest protection filter. Guaranteed to elevate your image quality, the X4 UV filter by Breakthrough Photography is engineered with state-of-the-art MRC16 and nanotec nano coating layers, ensuring that every shot meets the exacting standards of professional outdoor photographers.Crafted with the critically acclaimed SCHOTT Ultrawhite B270 optical glass from Germany, the X4 UV filter boasts an exceptional optical resolution. The advanced multi-resistant coating, featuring 16 layers (MRC16), not only enhances light transmission to an impressive 99.4% but also fortifies the filter with a protective layer that surpasses the hardness of the glass itself.Innovation doesn't stop there; the nanotec Nano Coating technology on both sides of the filter actively repels dirt, water, and other elements by beading rather than absorbing. This cutting-edge feature ensures that maintenance is quicker and more efficient, allowing you to focus on capturing the perfect shot.Breakthrough Photography has reimagined the design of the traditional UV filter to meet the demands of modern photography. The X4 UV filter is meticulously machined from brass, a material chosen for its superior strength compared to aluminum. This choice ensures less binding and jamming when used with lenses or other filters, providing a solid, reliable attachment to your camera gear.The X4 UV filter's innovative traction frame design is a game-changer for photographers. The full traction texture encircling the filter allows for effortless, secure attachment and removal, even when stacking with additional filters. This thoughtful design addresses the practical needs of photographers who frequently adjust their gear in dynamic environments.With its ultra-slim, double-threaded 3.2mm Traction Frame, the X4 UV filter promises no vignetting or light falloff, even on full-frame wide-angle setups. It's compatible with all your lens caps and additional filters, ensuring a seamless integration into your photography kit.Elevate your lens protection and image quality with the 52mm X4 UV Filter, a testament to Breakthrough Photography's commitment to innovation, quality, and the needs of professional photographers.

I exclusively use Breakthrough filters.  They are always perfect.  They are machined perfectly, easy to thread on and off.  Serialized with a warrantee!

Perfect

Excellent filter. No color distortion- perfect !!

Great filter

I haven?t had a chance to shoot with the UV lens cover over my lens yet, but I will soon and I?m just excited to have some protection over my pricey lens, so we?ll worth it! 

The UV lens threading was smooth going over the lens and the grip makes it easy to give a bit of tightness to it and make sure it?s really on there, so as not to fall off. It was super easy to clean & I?m excited to see what it?s like out in the elements soon. Can?t wait to test it out!

For my Sony 70-200mm f2.8 GM

Looks promising. This review was posted after I got it and used it lightly

Looks promising

I use breakthrough filters pretty much all my lenses. This was no exception, as it is amazing quality it does not degrade IQ at all.

Excellent filter

Looks Great, works great! No vignetting, easy to mount and uninstall, and regardless of now obviously  baseless claims works great with Canon lens hoods as well. The brass and knurling very effectively prevents the filter from getting stuck. Will be replacing all my UV, CPL, and ND filters with these in the future, and have already made a good dent.

Looks Great, works great!

It is amazing the difference this filter will make in your pictures! Buy it!

No surprises! Clear,crisp and transparent glass. The brass ring is easy to grasp while applying the filter.

Breakthrough Photography 82mm UV filter.

Worth every penny. Brilliant filter. You won't be disappointed.

Hands down the best filter!

Weill  definitely be buying this brand again top quality half the price same product a little better to be honest. I was on the fence between this or $160 Hoya UD3 I ended up taking a chance with breakthrough seems very quality highly recommend.

Top notch

The best!  Hard to scratch and very clear.  Easy on/off.  Won't need lens cap

Durable and clear

I believe this one of the best filter available because of the materials used and design. Over the years I have purchased and used other brands of filters definitely this is the best!

Excellent quality and design

It looks cool and has a nice grip. Doesn't effect image at all.  Much easier to clean then the curved front glass on the lens.

I really enjoy the lens. I don't use lens hoods as I like sun flairs. And this keeps my lens safe.

I use Breakthrough Photography filters for all my lenses.  They're made with the best glass available and the large grippy edges on the filter makes it easier to get them on and off without worrying about them getting stuck.  They are definitely comparable to any filter available.

Great filters!

Great filter!

It seems to be very high quality but I really haven’t had much of a chance to get out and use it.

As advertised...

Solid, great grip on the filter, no color cast

Love these filters. Very slim design and high quality.

Great filters

This is reviewed as the best filter for protection.  When spend over $2000 for a lens $100 is cheap protection

Good filter

I used to use b&w but now I prefer breakthrough, especially for ND filters. Breakthrough is a good filter and the texture makes it easier put on/take off especially if stacked with another filter.

X4 UV filter

I swore I would never put another piece of glass in front of my lens just because I have tried so many filters. This one convinced me I can find a good filter with suffering perceived image quality loss. Nice Bought this for my Sony 24-105 Full frame now I want one for my 18-105 crop lens. Sorry I don't have sample photos available right now.

High Quality

I find this filter is made better than a lot of less expensive filters. It is US made.

Excellent UV filter very well made!

For expensive glass

Pricey but great quality and excellent color reproduction

Excellent UV protection

I usually don't like to put any UV filters on my lens being afraid of degrading my images. But I've changed my mind recently as I don't to damage my expensive lenses, especially long zoom lenses. I started getting the Breakthrough filters and very happy with the quality of the filters and the images. I bought the larger one for my long telephoto zoom lens.

I recently switched from B&W filters (which are still super quality) to these Breakthrough filters. I have two of these great UV filters and also a polarizer, all from Breakthrough. Besides the phenominal quality, the "bumps" on the outside of the rings allow me to easily switch at will without the need for a filter wrench. They also do not interfere with the lens hood.

Love this filter!

This filter is a solid purchase.  Great construction and the clarity of the glass is superior.  I have a number of filters from this company and all are superb.  Don't buy cheap.

Great Filter

No colorcast at all with this filter, and it's very easy to put on and take off with the traction system . Highly recommended!

BT 82MM X4 UV Filter

Even though this is just a thin piece of glass the grip on it feels great and is easy to hold on to if you need to remove.  The casing is thin to keep a vignetting low when stacking circular filters.

With how low the profile is and how clear the glass is I need to periodically double take to see if it's really still there.  it's not that it comes off but rather that the quality on the glass is good.

I haven't been able to see a difference in color in images with and without the filter.  Since this is supposed to be clear I'm thrilled and when needed know which one to get.

incredibly clear glass

I believed all the great reviews.  I like this filter better than my B+W, Hoya and other filters.  I put it on a 28-135 zoom and that zoom stopped capturing black corners on the digital photos.  I never had that corner problem with my Canon 24-70, 14 mm  or  other Canon lenses.
