Offering 99% light transmission and engineered for zero vignetting, it provides front-element protection while maintaining the camera's compact profile and compatibility with the original lens cap. The filter securely attaches to camera lenses through a threaded connection, providing reliable protection against bumps and scratches without the risk of accidental detachment. Precision-engineered with CNC machining, this filter ensures zero vignetting. The optical glass lens features a multi-layer coating that achieves 99% light transmittance for accurate color reproduction, while its low surface reflectivity significantly reduces glare and ghosting. Constructed from optical glass with dual-sided multi-coating, the filter resists water splashes, oil stains, and scratches, making it easy to clean. For the Black frame version, the interior is finished with matte oxidation treatment to prevent glare from reflections. It remains fully compatible with the camera's original lens cap.
This SmallRig UV Filter is designed for Fujifilm X100VI and X100V camera owners seeking robust protection for their fixed lens without compromising image quality. Its key benefit is providing a durable shield against environmental elements and impacts while maintaining 99% light transmission and zero vignetting. A potential caveat is that while it maintains compatibility with the original lens cap, it adds a slight thickness to the lens assembly.
