Hama Premium UV 390 Nano Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter 55 mm

The Hama Premium UV 390 Nano 55 mm is a high-end ultraviolet (UV) camera filter made from premium UV lens glass to improve image clarity and preserve natural colours. It blocks UV rays up to 390 nm, reduces haze and unwanted blue cast from ultraviolet light, and provides physical protection for the lens against scratches, dust and minor impacts. The filter uses a vapour-deposited multi-layer NSC18 coating on both sides and a nano-coating to enhance light transmission and keep the surface easy to clean.

Advantages

The NSC18 nine-layer coating on each side offers excellent light permeability and strong anti-reflective properties to minimise reflections, ghosting and double images. The nano-coating creates a lotus effect that repels water, oil and dirt and reduces misting, making maintenance easier. The filter is scratch- and shock-resistant, has blackened inner edges and an anodised metal mount to prevent internal reflections, and is ultra-thin to avoid vignetting while barely increasing the lens front diameter.

Suitable for

• Outdoor photography where UV haze reduction improves clarity
• Landscape and travel photography to enhance colour fidelity and contrast
• Protection of the front element from scratches, dust and minor impacts
• Permanent attachment to lenses with 55 mm filter thread

Key specifications

• Model: Hama Premium UV 390 Nano
• Thread size: 55 mm
• Material: Premium UV lens glass (HD quality)
• Coating: NSC18 vapour-deposited multi-layer (nine layers per side) + nano lotus coating
• UV blocking range: up to 390 nm
• Mount: black anodised metal with blackened inner edges and edge sealant
• Features: scratch- and shock-resistant, water/oil/dirt-repellent, ultra-thin wide mount

How to use

Screw the filter onto a lens with a 55 mm filter thread until it is secure but not overtightened. The ultra-thin, wide mount is designed to stay on the lens during shooting and to minimise vignetting. Clean the filter surface gently with a soft microfiber cloth or lens cleaning solution when needed; the nano-coating reduces the adherence of water and dirt and simplifies cleaning.

Recommendations

For best results in outdoor and landscape photography, keep the filter mounted when shooting in bright daylight to reduce UV-induced haze and preserve colour accuracy. Remove and store the filter in a protective case if you need to minimize any additional front diameter for storage or when stacking multiple filters.
