Beyond mere protection, the UV filter plays a pivotal role in filtering through UV haze, which is particularly beneficial when shooting in high-altitude environments where UV light is more prevalent. By cutting through the haze, the filter significantly enhances contrast and color accuracy in your images. The NXT Plus filter features a UV Cut Point of 360nm or L36, offering superior performance that sets it apart from competitors in its price range.
