Camera protection filter Hama Ultimate 72 mm Black

The Hama Ultimate 72 mm Black camera protection filter is an optical glass protector designed to safeguard the front element of compatible camera lenses from scratches, dust and accidental damage. Its ultra-thin, wide mount minimizes vignetting and can remain on the lens permanently while the black anodised metal frame and blackened inner edges reduce internal reflections.

Advantages

The filter features a vapour-deposited multi-layer MC8 coating with four layers on each side to maximise light transmission and anti-reflective performance. Both sides of the filter are coated to prevent loss of contrast, ghosting and double images. The glass is scratch-resistant, the mount retains a stable shape across temperature changes, and an edge sealant protects against soiling.

Suitable for

• Everyday lens protection for DSLR and mirrorless camera lenses with 72 mm filter thread
• Outdoor photography where dust and minor impacts are a concern
• Situations requiring a permanently attached protective filter without vignetting

How to use

Clean the coated surfaces with a microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution suitable for multi-coated optics, wiping gently to avoid scratches.

Recommendations

Use the filter as the first line of defence against physical damage and contamination of the front lens element. Remove and inspect periodically for dirt under strong magnification and replace if the glass becomes deeply scratched or damaged to preserve image quality.
