The 58mm SMC L395 UV Filter from NiSi is a general use, clear filter designed to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter. When the NiSi 58mm SMC L395 UV Filter is applied, 28% of ultraviolet light waves are absorbed at 395 nanometers, before which they are progressively eliminated, helping to limit the light that enters a camera to the visible spectrum. The appearance of blue casts that can occur while recording video or still photos under daylight that also features ultraviolet light is reduced, preserving color accuracy throughout the frame.

NiSi SMC L395 UV filters are constructed from Asahi glass for increased clarity as well as color fidelity while providing approximately 98.5% transmission of visible light. This 58mm SMC L395 UV filter features a 3.0mm thick aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight. It minimizes the potential for vignetting and includes corresponding 58mm front filter threads for use with other screw-on filters. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface also includes an anti-reflective, hydrophobic coating that results in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this Filter effect the image quality, being that it is classified as a Multi-coated UV Filter ?

A: No, coatings are good. The more coatings a filter has the better. The coatings help keep light on a straight path to the sensor which increases/maintains sharpness and contrast.

Q: 2. Does this NiSi UV Filter complete the full weather sealing on the X100V, or is another lens mounted attachment required for full weather sealing?

A: Putting this on will maintain the camera weather sealing

Q: 3. Is there a way to use this in conjunction with a circular polarizer filter on the X100V?

A: Unfortunately, a circular polarizer cannot be used in conjunction with this filter.

Q: 4. Does it enable the use of a lens cap?

A: The 7artisans Photoelectric 82mm MRC-UV Filter does not have front filter threads, so a lens cap cannot be used.

Q: 5. what is the size of this filter ?

A: The NiSi S6 PRO NC UV Filter for the S6 150mm Holder does not have filter threads. The filter is used with the NiSi S6 150mm Filter Holder Frame, BH #NIFFS6150. The holder is for wide-angle lenses that do not have filter threads. An adapter ring for the lens is required.

Q: 6. Is it possible to knock out that UV filter and put in a Black ProMist? Would that work???

A: Unfortunately, it is not possible to remove the UV glass on this filter in exchange for a Black Pro Mist filter. If using with the X100 series cameras along with the AR-X100 adapter, the Tiffen 49mm Black Pro-Mist 1/8 Filter, BH # TIBPME49 can be used instead. http://bhpho.to/3iI9nT2

Q: 7. Does this require the adapter ring?

A: No, you would just need to remove the ring that's on the lens currently and replace it with this.

Q: 8. Can this NiSi 112mm Circular NC UV Filter for Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S be used for an F-mount Nikon lens like the 120-300mm f/2.8?

A: Yes. It has standard threads that will fit this lens.

Q: 9. 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: 10. Will the stock lens cap work with this on a X100F or just on the X100V?

A: This would also work on the X100F. Just remember to remove the front ring already on the lens.
