UV camera filter HAMA Profi Line UV Nano 37 mm, ultraviolet filter, black

HAMA Profi Line UV Nano 37 mm is an ultraviolet (UV) camera filter designed to reduce the effects of UV light while providing continuous protection for the front element of lenses with a 37 mm filter thread. The filter uses high-quality optical glass with advanced multi-layer anti-reflective coatings to maintain colour fidelity and image clarity. A nano-coating creates a water- and oil-repellent surface that resists dust and smearing, making the filter suitable for everyday outdoor and studio use without noticeably increasing lens size.

Advantages

This UV filter delivers clear pictures with reduced atmospheric haze by blocking unwanted ultraviolet radiation that can introduce bluish casts and softness. Both filter surfaces are treated with multiple vapour-deposited anti-reflective layers to preserve light transmission and prevent ghosting or double images. The nano-coating provides a lotus effect for easier cleaning and reduced misting, while the scratch-resistant glass and sealed edges protect the optics from dust, moisture and accidental abrasion. The thin, wide mount minimises the risk of vignetting and is finished in black anodised metal with blackened inner edges to avoid stray reflections.

Suitable for

• Everyday outdoor photography where UV haze can reduce contrast
• Protecting the front element of compact and small-diameter lenses
• Landscape and travel photography in bright, sunny conditions
• Situations requiring a permanently mounted protective filter

Key specifications

• Filter type: ultraviolet (UV) filter
• Diameter: 37 mm filter thread
• Optical material: high-quality lens glass
• Coating: multi-layer vapour-deposited anti-reflective coating on both sides
• Special coating: nano-coating for water, oil and dirt repellence (lotus effect)
• Mount material: black anodised metal with blackened inner edges
• Design: ultra-thin, wide mount to minimise vignetting
• Surface properties: scratch-resistant and edge-sealed to reduce soiling

How to use

Mount the filter by gently screwing it into the lens’s 37 mm front thread until it is secure; avoid overtightening. The filter can remain mounted during normal shooting and will reduce UV-induced haze while protecting the front element from dust, splashes and minor impacts. Clean the coated surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth and, if necessary, use a few drops of lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth rather than the filter directly. Store the filter in its protective case when not attached to the lens.

Recommendations

For best optical results, keep the filter clean and avoid abrasive cleaning materials. When using very wide-angle lenses, verify for any vignetting at the widest focal length; the ultra-thin mount is designed to reduce this effect but checking before critical shoots is recommended. Use the filter as a permanent protective layer in environments with dust, sand or frequent handling to reduce the risk of front-element damage.
