The Heliopan 62mm KR 1.5 Skylight (1A) Filter is a general use filter with a slight pink tint to help improve overall color accuracy and clarity. The light pink coloration helps to reduce the overall bluish cast of daylight and is especially effective when photographing landscapes and in shade. It is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Q: 8. Will this hood work without vignetting on a Fuji 23mm XF lens (35mm equivalent)?

A: I purchased the short heliopan for the same reason - to avoid using the giant hood on an already giant lens! Unfortunately, if my memory serves me correctly, it DOES vignette. Despite being short, it lacks sufficient flare/taper for the 23mm field of view. The upside of having an identical diameter hood is that lens caps & accessories usually fit as they would the lens filter thread, but unfortunately it's no good here.My recommendation is a short flared 62mm screw-in hood. There are several of these on eBay. Usually very cheap & from China but would work far better & alot less conspicuous! If you wish to use a filter the screw-in hoods usually fit the front thread of the filter ring.I've since switched to Leica & some vintage LTM gear - the small size of these are amazing, especially given full frame. That's the advantage of leaving out all the AF electronics.Best wishes,Jason MillerBrisbane
