Digital King MC SLIM UV Protection Filter for 72mm Diameter Lenses

The UV filter does not produce a real visual effect on the image and, consequently, having a simply neutral and transparent glass, it is used more as a protective filter for the front lens than as a filter for a particular effect. It certainly blocks most of the UV rays that could reach the sensor, theoretically allowing us to obtain greater image sharpness with slightly warmer tones. Unfortunately, the effect is so limited that its real use is as a protective glass.

Useful Information:

A photographic filter is an optical accessory that, when placed in front of the lens, can make a specific modification to the captured image. Its peculiarity is to selectively allow light to pass through in order to modify what actually reaches the sensitive medium. By stating that no software can perfectly emulate the effect of filters, we note that: the modifications we make to the image directly during shooting, by modifying the light with the help of a filter, will be more real and will maintain the original quality of the file (in the digital realm).

If, on the other hand, we tried to reproduce an effect through post-production, we would realize that the more we modify the file, the more the general quality will suffer, and even using a .RAW file, we would inevitably have to deal with the appearance of artifacts and a decrease in the quality of the photo. There are many types of filters used in photography, but they all share a common characteristic: the way they are applied to the lens. There are mainly two types: screw-in filters and plate filters, which require an additional accessory to be used.
