The UV filter from Hama is a must-have for avid photographers. Primarily developed to provide protection to the camera lens, the UV filter has a number of benefits. The filter protects the lens from scratches, dust, and fingerprints that can be hard to clean and impair the quality of a photo.

The filter can also make cleaning your camera a much easier task. Many camera lenses are curved and recessed, but the flat surface of the filter means that maintaining your camera's cleanliness is more straightforward. Protecting your camera lens can also help increase the resale price of your camera when the time comes for an upgrade, as your lens will still be in mint condition.

In addition, the UV filter can improve the quality of your photos by making them clear and sharp in both black and white and color. Ultraviolet rays often make photos appear pale and gray; with UV filters, the photos are richer in contrast. The filter absorbs ultraviolet rays without affecting the visible light balance. The UV filter can also enhance the clarity of the film by reducing the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches it. Because the lens is coated on both sides, minimal flare is produced when the lens is pointed towards bright light.
