quality uv filter

Very nice filter, doesn't affect image quality at all. I recently learned repairing scratches on the front element is very pricey, better to just pay less for a quality filter to protect the glass.

Perfect for Leica R glass

I needed this filter to protect the front of my Leica R E60 lens. Perfect, no matter that there is little choice in this filter size. This is it.

Heliopan filter....and nothing else

It'a a good filter at a good price but it came without a case or container of any kind. Came by itself in a plastic bag. It definetly needed the case it came in.

Protecting your investment

UV filters are something many photographers don't pay too much attention to, but should. Filters introduce another 2 glass surfaces to deal with. The thing I like about Heliopan filters is the high quality optical glass they use in their filters. I can be assured that I am minimizing the impact of adding another piece of glass into the lens equation. The build quality is excellent too. The brass ring is well made, and not super thin like you often find with cheap filters.

Best Optics

Predictable flare control moving in and out of direct light. I used to shoot important events with no filter as I always felt it compromised optimum clarity that makes or breaks experiences for high paying clients. Not true for this product. Crystal clear optics and great for shooting in bright midday light for large events that you cannot always control your subjects.

Used-Glass is Flawless (as rated)

A great savings on this filter, nearly 50% less than new and in perfect condition for use on HQ lenses.

Simply the best filters made

Heliopan filters are simply the best you can get. Rather than repeating the virtues listed in the company's advertising, I'll just say that I periodically try other brands, which are invariably less expensive, but aside from Singh-Ray specialty items, I'm just never happy with anything else when I compare it to a Heliopan. The mounts are slimmer than B+W's F-Pro mounts, and work great even on ultrawides; they are solid; they are machined perfectly; they have a nice, matte finish that is easy to grip for putting them on and taking them off; they stay put, and the glass always fits tightly. The glass itself is of such high quality that you don't have to worry that you are sacrificing anything even when you put a filter on a Leica lens. I go overboard, putting Heliopans on everything (Leica, Nikon, and even Lensbaby lenses), but even where the quality of the glass is overkill, the slim, elegant mounts make them worthwhile.

beautiful and extremely well made.

For photography enthusiasts and professionals alike, the 62mm UV Ultra Violet Filter stands as an essential tool for capturing pristine images. Crafted from high-quality materials, this durable filter is designed to effectively shield your camera lens from the detrimental effects of ultraviolet light. By absorbing the short wave portion of the spectrum, it ensures that your photographs remain clear and free from the haze that can often obscure distant scenes.

The colorless nature of this UV filter means it can seamlessly integrate with your shooting process, eliminating the bluish cast that plagues many outdoor photographs, particularly those taken in bright, open environments. With this filter attached, you can expect sharper images, devoid of the softness that UV light can introduce.

Beyond its image-enhancing capabilities, this easy-to-use filter serves a dual purpose as a permanent lens protector. Once affixed to your camera lens, it acts as a barrier against common contaminants such as dust, fingerprints, and moisture, safeguarding your investment against the elements and everyday wear and tear.

This 62mm UV Ultra Violet Filter is produced by Heliopan, a brand synonymous with optical excellence. The filter's robust construction and the brand's reputation for quality make it a smart choice for photographers seeking reliable performance without compromise. Moreover, the filter's affordability and high customer satisfaction rating, evidenced by a stellar 5.0 out of 5 stars, underscore its value and effectiveness.

While the filter arrives ready for immediate use, it should be noted that it does not include a case or container. However, its straightforward design ensures that it can be easily stored and transported in your existing gear setup.

In summary, the 62mm UV Ultra Violet Filter is a versatile, high-performance accessory that not only enhances image quality by filtering out UV light but also provides constant protection for your lens, making it an indispensable addition to any photographer's toolkit.
