Designed to minimize the effects of UV light, the Formatt-Hitech 58mm Firecrest SuperSlim UV MC Filter is a general use, clear filter that helps to reduce bluish casts and haze as well as improve contrast and clarity when photographing outdoors. This unique filter also features a 15-layer Firecrest coating, which further serves to minimize surface reflections and maintain light transmission for consistent color accuracy and image acuity. Additionally, a UV filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times for protection against accidental impacts or scratching to the lens.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for maintained image quality and is set in an aluminum filter ring. The SuperSlim ring measures 5.5mm-thick and its slim design helps to minimize the likelihood of vignetting. This filter features front threads to permit stacking of additional filters or the attachment of a lens cap.

Absorbs UV light and reduces bluish cast of daylight.

Works as general protection filter to reduce dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching lens elements.

The 15-layer Firecrest coating has been applied directly to the filter glass by way of a vacuum-formed, hard-coated, electrolytic process. The multi-coating is water- and scratch-resistance for greater overall durability.

Firecrest coating attenuates UV contamination, as well as surface reflections, for consistent light transmission and acuity.

Optical glass is used in order to maintain clear image quality with high contrast and color fidelity.

The aluminum alloy SuperSlim filter ring measures 5.5mm-thick and features front threads for stacking additional filters.

Q: 4. Does this filter fit a Nikon 85 1.4 lens?

A: The Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.4G lens takes 77mm filters, and this Hoya 67mm NXT Plus UV filter will not fit. Based on the history of Nikon's 85mm lenses, the only one with a 67mm-filter thread is the Nikon 85mm f/1.8G, not the f/1.4G.

Q: 5. What are the three dimensions of this filter pouch when filled with filters and closed?

A: Good question. We would say it would be 110mm x 160 x 30mm approximately.

Q: 7. The description mentions Schott glass from Germany. Is this filter manufactured completely in Germany or where?

A: The 7artisans Photoelectric 67mm MRC-UV Filter is made in China.

Q: 8. What is the light transmission with this filter? With the HMC and alpha MC there is some reduction in light transmission.

A: Hoya rates this filter at 98% light transmission.

Q: 9. Will this work with the Fuji lens hood? The cinebloom does not. Outside diameter too large

A: The Moment 52mm CineClear UV Protection Filter has 52mm front thread so it should not interfere with the use of a lens hood on most lenses.

Q: 10. Can you stack the filters. Or dos the color get to strong?

A: It may be possible to stack filters, but it's not recommended--stacking introduces more surfaces that can reflect light and more unwanted color cast possibilities.
