Shield your professional optics without compromising a single pixel of quality. The Ultimaxx 86mm UV Filter is an essential "always-on" accessory designed for large-diameter lenses. Crafted with High-Definition Japanese Optics, this filter serves two critical purposes: it absorbs ultraviolet light to eliminate the bluish haze often found in bright outdoor environments, and it acts as a sacrificial barrier against dust, moisture, and accidental scratches. For photographers using premium glass—such as high-end portrait primes or wide-angle zooms—the Ultimaxx UV filter provides the peace of mind that comes with knowing your front element is safe. Its Ultra-Slim Profile ensures that even at wider focal lengths, you won't suffer from vignetting, while the multi-coated glass maintains the high-contrast, sharp results your lens was built to deliver. Ultimate Front-Element Protection: Safeguards your expensive 86mm lens from fingerprints, debris, and impacts that could cause permanent damage. Atmospheric Clarity: Filters out UV rays to reduce haze and improve image contrast, especially when shooting at high altitudes or over water. Precision Japanese Glass: HD multi-coated optics allow for maximum light transmission while minimizing internal reflections and ghosting. Low-Profile Aluminum Frame: The slim, aircraft-grade aluminum ring is designed to stay out of the frame on wide-angle shots and is threaded for your existing lens caps. Color Neutral Performance: Zero color cast ensures your white balance remains accurate, making it suitable for both professional stills and video.
