The Heliopan 77mm UV Filter is a general use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. No additional coloration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others. The UV filter 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.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. What if live view is used?

A: To my original answer, I should add that on a Leica M, the EXIF data will probably show a different aperture to the one on the lens.The Ms have no electrical connection between camera body and lens, so the camera infers aperture for EXIF by comparing light intensity metered at the shutter compared to the ambient light on the body. (That's what the small light meter hole on the front top of the body is for.)

Q: 7. So, does this Digital Filter pretty much an even higher quality, more affective UV Filter?

A: Filters are made of the filter material, the glass it is in, the glass coatings and the metal ring. The higher the cost, the higher the quality of all materials and the better the optical result. After a point, however, it is like cars where you can get a comfortable Ford Focus (like Hoya) or a luxury BMW (like Heliopan.)

Q: 8. What's the actual filter weight (not package shipping weight) in grams. Looking for options for drone lens...?

Q: 9. Hello, will this ND filter setup work with a Leica R lens? if so, which ones? I have a 50mm f2 Summicron, & a 24mm Elmarit f2.8. I need an ND filter that will work with both of these. Thanks very much!Julian Wayser

A: There are many versions of the Leica 50mm f/2 Summicron-R lens. Early versions (1964-1976 black; 1964-1966 chrome) were a Series VI + 14160 (Series VI - E44 filter adapter) and later II models (1976-2009 black) are Internal thread for screw-in type filters E 55 size with a Built-in, telescopic hood. The 24mm f/2.8 Elmarit-R was a Series 8 and our records show some may have been an E60. 72mm to Series 7 Filter Adapter B&H # LEARS77282mm to Series 8 Filter Adapter B&H # LEARS88255mm NDs http://bhpho.to/1m7oEIA
