Product Information
Full details
The Kenko Air UV Filter is designed for photographers looking to enhance image clarity while providing a permanent layer of protection for their expensive lens glass. It is ideal for both professional and amateur users working in diverse environments, effectively absorbing atmospheric ultraviolet rays to reduce haze; however, users should be aware that adding any glass element to a lens can potentially introduce minor lens flare when shooting directly into harsh light sources.

FAQs
Will this filter affect my exposure settings?
No, the Kenko Air UV filter is neutral and does not require any exposure compensation (it has no light reduction factor).
Can I use a lens cap over this filter?
Yes, standard 67mm lens caps are designed to clip onto the front of this filter just as they would onto your lens.
Does this filter work for video?
Yes, it is perfectly suitable for video production and provides the same protective benefits as it does for still photography.
How do I know if this fits my lens?
Look for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number on the front or side of your lens barrel; this filter is for lenses marked with ø67.
Does this affect autofocus speed?
No, the glass does not interfere with the light path in a way that impacts modern camera autofocus systems.
Can I stack this filter with a polarizing filter?
You can, but it is generally recommended to use only one filter at a time to prevent potential vignetting or image quality degradation.
Troubleshooting
Filter is stuck and will not unscrew
Use a dedicated rubber lens filter wrench to gain better grip, or gently tap the side of the ring to loosen potential grit in the threads.
Visible ghosting or flare in images
Check for smudges or dust on the filter glass. If the issue persists, remove the filter when shooting directly into strong light sources.
Vignetting in corners of the frame
Ensure the filter is screwed on perfectly level and is not cross-threaded, as a slightly tilted filter can cause physical obstruction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the filter, align the threading with your lens front and rotate clockwise until secure. Ensure it is not overtightened to prevent difficulty in removal. Compatibility is strictly determined by your lens's filter thread size, which is marked on the front of your lens with a symbol that looks like a circle with a slash through it (e.g., ø67). For care, use a microfiber cloth and a dedicated lens cleaning solution to wipe the surface in circular motions. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers to prevent oil buildup, and keep the filter in a protective case when not in use.
