Camera protection filter Hama Ultimate 77 mm Black

The Hama Ultimate 77 mm Black camera protection filter is made of optical glass and provides neutral colour rendition while shielding the front element from scratches, dust and minor impacts. Its ultra-thin, wide mount design minimises vignetting and can remain mounted permanently without noticeably increasing the lens front diameter. The filter has a durable black anodised metal frame with blackened inner edges to reduce internal reflections.

Advantages

Multi-coated MC8 surfaces (four layers per side) and vapour-deposited, multi-layer treatment deliver high light transmission and strong anti-reflective performance. Both sides of the filter are coated to preserve contrast and prevent ghosting or double images. The glass is scratch-resistant and the mount includes an edge sealant to protect against soiling, while the mount maintains stable shape across temperature changes.

Suitable for

• Everyday lens protection during travel and outdoor shoots
• Keeping front elements free of dust and fingerprints in studio work
• Permanent mounting on wide-angle and standard lenses where vignetting must be minimised
• Photographers who want neutral colour reproduction while protecting optics

How to use

Carefully screw the filter onto the lens front using the correct 77 mm thread size until it sits flush; avoid overtightening. Clean coated surfaces with a soft lens cloth or lens cleaning tissues and appropriate cleaning fluid to remove dust or smudges. Leave the filter mounted for everyday protection or remove it when using specialized optical accessories that require direct lens access.

Recommendations

To maintain optical performance, store the filter in its case when not in use and clean it gently—do not use abrasive materials. If heavy impacts occur, inspect the filter and lens for damage; replacing a damaged protection filter is cheaper than repairing lens front elements.
