FAQs

How do I know if this filter fits my lens?

Check the front of your lens for the filter thread size, which is usually indicated by a Ø symbol followed by the diameter in millimeters (e.g., Ø72mm).

Can I leave the filter on my lens all the time?

Yes, the filter can be left on at all times to protect the lens from dust, dirt, and scratches.

What is the purpose of the multi-coating?

The multi-coating reduces reflections, increases light transmission, and minimizes flare and ghosting, resulting in improved image quality.

How do I clean the filter?

Use a soft, lint-free cloth and gently wipe the filter surface in a circular motion. If necessary, use a lens cleaning solution.

What is the Carl Zeiss T* coating?

The Carl Zeiss T* coating is a special coating that further reduces flare and ghosting, contributing to clearer and higher-quality images.

Does the filter affect image sharpness?

When kept clean, the filter should have minimal impact on image sharpness. However, any dirt or smudges can degrade image quality.

What is included with the filter?

The filter comes with a protective carry case for storage and transport.

What if the filter gets scratched?

If the filter is scratched, it is recommended to replace it to ensure optimal image quality.

Troubleshooting

Image appears blurry or soft.

Clean the filter with a lens cleaning cloth to remove any smudges or debris.

Noticeable flares or ghosting despite using the filter.

Ensure the filter is properly attached and clean. Check for strong light sources within the frame and adjust your shooting angle if necessary.
