FAQs

What is the main purpose of a protector filter?

A protector filter is primarily designed to safeguard your camera lens from dust, dirt, moisture, and accidental scratches without altering the image's color or exposure.

Will this filter affect the color of my photos?

No, this Sigma Protector filter is completely colorless and features a multi-layer coating, ensuring it does not affect color reproduction or image quality.

How do I clean the Sigma 62mm Protector filter?

Use a blower brush for loose dust. For fingerprints or smudges, use a clean microfiber lens cloth. For tougher spots, a lens cleaning solution can be applied to the cloth sparingly.

Can I use this filter on both film and digital cameras?

Yes, this filter is designed to provide high performance for both digital and film cameras.

What does 'super multi-layer coating' mean for my photos?

The super multi-layer coating reduces the occurrence of unwanted light reflections, known as flare and ghosting, resulting in clearer and more contrasty images, especially when shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

Is the filter case durable?

Yes, the filter comes with a special acrylic resin case that is noted for being more flexible and stronger than conventional filter cases.

What happens if I try to force the filter onto my lens?

Forcing the filter can damage the threads on both the lens and the filter, potentially causing costly repairs. Always ensure proper alignment and a smooth screwing action.

Troubleshooting

Filter is difficult to screw onto the lens.

Ensure you are using the correct filter size (62mm) and that the lens threads are clean. Try gently wiggling the filter as you screw it on. Never force the filter.

Image appears hazy or has reduced sharpness.

The filter may be dirty. Clean the filter surface thoroughly with a microfiber cloth and lens cleaning solution. Ensure the lens itself is also clean.

Visible flare or ghosting in images.

Clean the filter surface as smudges or dust can cause these artifacts. In extreme lighting, try using a lens hood in conjunction with the filter.

Difficulty attaching lens cap after filter is mounted.

Ensure the lens cap is designed to fit the filter thread size (62mm). Some third-party lens caps may have tighter tolerances.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against physical damage.
  • Maintains accurate color rendition.
  • Reduces flare and ghosting with its advanced coating.
  • Durable and flexible case material.
  • Suitable for both digital and film photography.

Cons

  • Adds a physical layer that could potentially introduce minor aberrations if not perfectly clean.
  • Requires careful handling to avoid smudges on the filter surface.
  • May slightly increase the risk of reflections in extreme lighting conditions if not perfectly clean.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your camera lens has a 62mm filter thread. This is usually indicated by a diameter symbol (e.g., ø62mm) on the lens barrel.
  2. Gently screw the Sigma 62mm Protector filter onto the front of the lens in a clockwise direction until snug. Do not overtighten.
  3. To attach lens caps or other accessories, screw them onto the front of the filter.

Compatibility:

This filter is designed for lenses with a 62mm filter thread. It is compatible with both digital and film cameras, and its colorless nature means it won't interfere with the camera's metering or autofocus systems. It can be used in conjunction with other Sigma filters or those from different brands as long as the thread size matches.

Care:

  • Cleaning: For light dust, use a blower brush. For smudges or fingerprints, use a microfiber lens cleaning cloth. For stubborn marks, lightly dampen the cloth with a dedicated lens cleaning solution. Always wipe from the center outwards in a circular motion.
  • Storage: Store the filter in its original acrylic case when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust.
