The Sigma 72mm Protector Filter is a simple, clear filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for your lens. This optically clear filter does not affect overall image quality while helping to prevent dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from reaching or damaging your lens. This filter is multi-coated which helps to eliminate internal ghosting and reflections.

Sigma Protector filters are constructed from optical glass with a black rim. Set within an aluminum-alloy filter ring that is durable while remaining lightweight, the glass provides increased clarity as well as color fidelity while the black rim further ensures that reflections do not occur along the filter's edge.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can I use this filter, without an adaptor, for X100v?

A: its recommended NOT to attach the filter directly onto the lens. using the adapter will give the lens enough space to move when you turn it on . Without the adapter you , possibly, will get a ' lens error' with possible damage to the lens.

Q: 2. Does this also work as a standard UV filter? Or is that something different?

A: The FUJIFILM 49mm Protector Filter Silver, B&H # FUPRF49S, is an optically clear standard protection filter. It does not have any UV coatings and is not designed to filter out UV light. If you are looking for a 49mm UV filter (as we do not have one from Fujifilm), the B+W 49mm UV Haze MRC 010M Filter, B&H # BWUVMC49, or the Hoya 49mm alpha MC UV Filter, B&H # HOUVA49, would instead work for your usage needs.

Q: 3. How thick is the filter ring?

A: I don't have the proper tool to measure, but using a ruler the thickness of the outer rim appears to be 1mm. Is that the dimension Steve W. is looking for?I use this filter on a Fuji 27mm lens and another one on a Voigtlander 25mm.

Q: 4. Does this fit the Fuji X20 model?

A: To use the Fujifilm 52mm Protector Filter, you will need to use an adapter ring, as you cannot directly attach filters to the Fujifilm X20 camera: http://bhpho.to/1k3j2Az

Q: 5. What color does this come in? I have the black FujiFilm X100T and would like this to match. Thanks!

A: Fujifilm filters are finished in black with white lettering. They perfectly match the black finish of Fuji lenses. However a 67mm filter will not fit your camera. The correct filter size is the fujifilm 49mm protector filter.

Q: 6. Can this filter replace the need for me to use the lens cap? (does it offer similar protection)

A: The FUJIFILM 39mm Protector Filter will offer protection from scratches and dirt on the lens. However, it is always recommended to use the lens cap to avoid damaging the filter or accidentally scratching it.

Q: 7. Does this filter fit to x100v too? And does it need another adapter ring with x100v?

A: yes, this 49mm thread filter will fit on the X100v and you do need to attach the adapter to the lens first. Without the adapter the filter will cause a lens error.

Q: 8. Does the lens hood still fit in conjunction with the filter?

A: I bought the 43mm filter to go with the XF23mmF2 fuji lens. With the filter on the lens and lens cap in place, I cannot install the lens hood. But if I install the lens hood first, on top of the filter, the lens cap fits easily. In short, it works. The lens hood I am talking about is a little tiny plastic hood that comes with the 23mm lens. So tiny that I don't bother using it. But I have found that for the 8 Fuji X lenses that I own, the Fuji filters always work with the Fuji lens hoods. Hope this is helpful.

Q: 9. Hi, is it fit Canon rf 100mm? Cap can fit on it?

A: Yes, the FUJIFILM 67mm Protector Filter will fit on the Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Lens. The lens cap can fit on top of the lens filter.

Q: 10. Is this filter ring in black? (Not silver one). I would like to buy it to match with my X100T Black.

A: The PRF49S listed on B&H's site is silver and matches the silver version of X100T / X100S / X100. Fujifilm did inlude the black version with the special edittion (black) of the X100 but I do not know if it is avaiable separately. Nonetheless, why not use a top notch B&W filter -- in black? The motivation behindf the Fujifilm silver filter is to match the camera. This will not be a problem with the B&W filter and a black X100T.
