Hama Profi Line UV Nano Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter 55 mm

HAMA Profi Line UV Nano 55 mm is a professional ultraviolet (UV) camera filter made from high-quality lens glass. It reduces haze and unwanted blue cast from UV light, improving image clarity and color reproduction while providing permanent protection for the front element of the lens against dust, scratches and minor impacts.

Advantages

The filter features an NMC16 multi-layer vapour-deposited coating with eight layers on each side for excellent light transmission and anti-reflective properties. A nano-coating creates a lotus effect that repels water, oil and dirt, makes cleaning easier and prevents misting. Both front and back surfaces are coated to avoid loss of contrast, ghosting and double images. The anodised metal mount with blackened inner edges and edge sealant reduces reflections and contamination, while the ultra-thin wide mount minimises vignetting and can remain mounted permanently without noticeably increasing the lens front size.

Suitable for

• Outdoor photography in bright sunlight
• Landscape and travel photography where haze reduction is needed
• Protecting expensive lens front elements from dust and scratches

Key specifications

• Mount diameter: 55 mm
• Type: Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter
• Glass quality: High-quality lens glass

How to use

Screw the 55 mm filter onto the front thread of a compatible lens until it is securely seated. The ultra-thin wide mount is designed to stay on the lens during shooting; remove it only when storage or specific accessory use requires it. Clean the coated surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth and, if needed, use lens-cleaning solution sparingly to maintain the nano-coating and optical performance.

Recommendations

Use the HAMA Profi Line UV Nano 55 mm primarily to reduce UV-induced haze and protect the lens front during outdoor shoots. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials and store the filter in a protective case when not in use to prolong the coatings and mount condition.
