Irix Edge UV/Protector 58mm Filter

Scratches, dust, and moisture constantly threaten the front element of your lens, and UV haze can dull image clarity. The Irix Edge UV/Protector 58mm filter solves both problems in one slim, durable package. It shields your lens from physical damage while blocking ultraviolet light below 390 nm, ensuring sharper, cleaner photos with natural colour balance.

Tips

Keep the filter on your lens at all times for constant protection. When shooting in rain or near water, the hydrophobic coating helps water bead off, but wipe gently with a microfibre cloth for best results. The slim profile minimises vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the front thread allows you to attach a lens cap or stack another filter if needed.
