Designed to block ultraviolet light, while allowing visible light to cleanly pass, this 62mm UV Filter from Simmod is a specialty filter that helps to achieve accurate and precise colors. This unique filter features 32 layers of multicoating, which further serves to minimize surface reflections and maintains light transmission for consistent color accuracy and image acuity.

Front Threads for Stacking    14 Layers of Nano Coating    99.2% Light Transmission    Secure Attachment    32 Layers of Multicoating    UV Protection    3.2mm Slim Design    Brass Filter Ring

The front threads on the filter allow users to stack filters by screwing them into other Simmod filters.

It takes two full turns to mount the filter onto the lens. This feature will securely hold the Simmod filter through the most demanding shoots.

Simmod can offer a 99.2% transmission rate by using highly polished Schott glass and advanced coatings.

Seven layers of nano coating on each side offer scratch resistance. With a combined 14 layers of nano coating, water beads will roll off your filter, while oil and fingerprints can be gently wiped off. Dust and debris won't adhere to the filter either and can be removed with a puff of air.

The filter is multicoated with 16 layers of coating on each side. That's a combined total of 32-layers of protective and enhancement coating. Multicoating reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.

The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight. This can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.

The properties of a brass filter ring minimize the chance of jamming or binding when screwing the filter onto the lens or stacking filters.

This filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting due to its 3.2mm size.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the lens come with a lens hood?

A: Yes, this lens comes with a hood.

Q: 2. How does this lens compare to the Nikkor AF-S 20mm f1.8? Thank you.

A: If you are looking to compare the newer Z-mount Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Lens to the older F-mount Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED Lens, I have not seen any comprehensive lens tests comparing the two lenses listed above. That being said, from images taken with the two lenses, the Z-mount lens appears much sharper compared to the F-mount lens used on the same camera with the FTZ lens mount adapter. The Z-mount lens used wide-open at f/1.8 appears sharper than the F-mount lens used two stops down at f/2.8. In addition to the above, the Z-mount lens also is sealed from dust and moisture, and has Nano Crystal coatings and Super Integrated coatings for improved optical performance and easier cleaning. While both lenses are good, optically, I would recommend the Nikon NIKKOR Z 20mm f/1.8 S Lens.

Q: 3. Is this lens grey market and if not, does it come with a manufactureres warranty?

A: This item is not grey market. If B&H gets items from outside channels, it is marked imported.

Q: 6. which lens would you recommend fungi 14mm or XF 10-24mm?

A: Wow, I could bore you with what I shoot and why; indicating that I am either a photographer or an idiot with money. I Shoot the prime. I shoot only primes with only one exception and this is not it. PhaseOne/IQ260, Arca Swiss, Fuji...it doesn't matter. if you want the best from a lens...you by prime. HOWEVER: if your purpose says you MUST have this range for some unknown reason and you cannot live without that range AND your budget says NO to primes...then, of course, you shoot the 10-24.

Q: 7. Actual photos of used lens?

A: No, the photo for the Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 Lens is that of a new one.

Q: 9. Have any of you tested this Z 20 mm prime (or the Z 24 mm 1.8) to the 20 mm on the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens, particularly for astro images? I'm a big fan of the old Ai-S 20 mm and 24 mm lenses and am wondering if the 20 mm and 24 mm focal distances on the zoom are as good, or nearly as good as the new Z primes of the same focal lengths. I'm debating between the primes and the zoom. Thanks for your time, Andy

A: We have not tested the lenses side by side for optical performance but based on customer feedback so far, more people are using the 20mm f1.8 for astrophotography than the 14-24mm.

Q: 10. Is this lens as sharp as the Lumix s 85mm f/1.8 is ? Does it resolves fine details as much as the Lumix s 85mm f/1.8 ?

A: The Panasonic Lumix S 50mm f/1.8 Lens is very similar in optical quality compared to the Panasonic Lumix S 85mm f/1.8 Lens.
