Camera protection filter Hama Ultimate 55 mm Black

The Hama Ultimate 55 mm Black camera protection filter is an optical glass filter designed to protect the front element of lenses from scratches, dust and accidental contact. Its colour-neutral construction preserves image colour fidelity while providing a durable barrier that can remain mounted permanently thanks to an ultra-thin, wide mount that minimises added front diameter and avoids vignetting.

Advantages

The filter features a vapour-deposited, multi-layer MC8 coating with four layers on each side for high light transmission and strong anti-reflective properties. Both front and rear surfaces are coated to prevent loss of contrast, ghosting and double images. The filter glass is scratch-resistant, the mount is made from black anodised metal with blackened inner edges to reduce reflections, and an edge sealant helps protect against soiling. The mount maintains a stable shape despite temperature fluctuations.

Suitable for

• Protecting camera lenses with 55 mm filter thread
• Everyday outdoor and indoor photography to prevent scratches and dust
• Situations where a permanently mounted protection filter is desirable

How to use

Screw the filter gently onto the lens front with a 55 mm thread until it sits securely; avoid cross-threading. The ultra-thin wide mount allows the filter to remain attached during shooting without significant increase in lens size or vignetting on compatible lenses. Clean coated surfaces with a soft lens cloth or blower; do not use abrasive materials. If removing, unscrew carefully and store the filter in its protective case to avoid scratches.

Recommendations

For best results, keep the coated surfaces clean and avoid touching the glass with bare fingers. Use this Hama Ultimate 55 mm protection filter as a permanent protector on lenses with a 55 mm thread to reduce the risk of costly front-element repairs while maintaining colour-neutral image quality.
