UV Filter walimex pro Slim Super DMC 62mm – slim 62 mm camera lens UV filter

Walimex pro Slim Super DMC 62mm UV filter is a slim-profile protective filter designed for lenses with a 62 mm thread. It reduces ultraviolet light to improve image clarity and minimise atmospheric haze, while providing a protective barrier against dust, scratches and moisture. The filter’s slim construction reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and keeps the front element safe during everyday outdoor and travel photography.

Advantages

The slim metal frame keeps the filter close to the lens, lowering the chance of dark corners on wide-angle shots. Multicoating reduces reflections and ghosting, preserving colour neutrality and contrast. As a protective optical element, the filter takes physical impacts and contaminants instead of the lens surface, simplifying lens maintenance. The lightweight construction maintains balance and handling when shooting handheld or on a gimbal.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography with wide-angle lenses
• Everyday lens protection during transport and use
• Reducing UV-induced haze in bright daylight scenes
• Photographers who need a low-profile filter to avoid vignetting

Key specifications

• Thread diameter: 62 mm
• Filter type: UV (ultraviolet) filter
• Frame style: slim profile metal frame
• Optical treatment: multi-coated surfaces to reduce reflections
• Primary functions: UV reduction, front element protection
• Weight: lightweight design suitable for handheld use

How to use

Attach the filter by screwing it gently onto the lens front thread until it is seated securely without overtightening. Use the filter as a permanent protective layer on the lens during outdoor shoots or whenever additional protection is needed. For cleaning, remove the filter from the lens and use a blower, soft brush or microfiber cloth with appropriate lens-cleaning fluid to remove dust and smudges. Refit the filter after cleaning, ensuring threads are aligned to avoid cross-threading.

Recommendations

For wide-angle lenses, the slim profile helps prevent vignetting; however, when stacking multiple filters, check images at the widest focal length to confirm no darkening appears. Store the filter in a protective pouch when not in use to avoid scratches and keep coatings effective.
