The main purpose of this filter is to block disruptive UV and IR light, enhancing color separation and image sharpness. It is designed specifically for the heightened sensitivity of digital sensors to infrared light.
The filter provides robust UV protection, improving color accuracy, particularly in the blue and red channels which are often susceptible to distortion. It also offers superior control of the blue channel in environments with high IR radiation, such as under artificial lighting.
While this filter is versatile and compatible with a broad range of lenses, it is advised not to pair it with extreme wide-angle lenses to maintain the best image quality.
The dichroic coating is an innovative feature engineered to optimize the filter's performance by enhancing its ability to block UV and IR light effectively.

Would like to know the pass-thru efficiency vs. wavelength for the 58mm filter better than Heliopan's catalog provides (to compare with B+W etc). However, no spurious color reproduction observed, so it seems OK. Excellent IR suppression from hot red sandstone....
