Camera protection filter Hama Ultimate 52 mm Black

The Hama Ultimate 52 mm Black camera protection filter is a transparent optical glass filter designed to safeguard the front element of compatible camera lenses from scratches, dust and minor impacts. Its ultra-thin, wide mount minimises the increase of the lens front section and helps prevent vignetting, so the filter can remain mounted permanently without affecting image quality.

Advantages

The filter uses optical glass with a multilayer vapour-deposited MC8 coating (four layers on each side) that provides high light transmission and strong anti-reflective properties. Both front and back surfaces are coated and the black anodised metal mount with blackened inner edges reduces internal reflections. The glass is scratch-resistant and the mount includes an edge sealant to protect against soiling while maintaining a stable shape across temperature changes.

Suitable for

• Everyday protection of 52 mm camera lenses
• Outdoor and travel photography where lens may be exposed to dust and light impacts
• Leaving a protective filter permanently mounted to prevent repair costs from damaged front elements

How to use

Screw the 52 mm filter gently onto the lens front threads until it sits evenly; avoid overtightening. Clean the filter surface with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning tissue and appropriate cleaning fluid before shooting to remove dust or smudges. When mounted, the filter can remain on the lens during normal use; remove it only for specific optical effects or when using accessories that require no filter.

Recommendations

For best results, store the filter in its case when not in use and clean both sides periodically. Check compatibility with your lens thread size (52 mm). If using stacked filters or wide-angle lenses, verify that the ultra-thin mount prevents vignetting in your setup.
