Leica UV/IR Filter for 18mm f/3.8 ASPH Lens

Leica UV/IR Filter for 18mm f/3.8 ASPH Lens

This Leica UV/IR filter in black is specifically recommended for the Leica Digital M8 camera. In order to maintain maximum optical clarity, the M8 with its superior sensor was not designed with a total IR protection filter system.

This filter is designed to eliminate the pinkish/purple/reddish tint that certain black synthetic items might be subjected to when shooting under certain lighting conditions, such as incandescent bulbs. This filter can also serve to help protect the glass in your lens.

Features:

• Specifically engineered for Leica Digital M8 cameras to compensate for lack of built-in IR protection
• Eliminates unwanted color casts (pinkish, purple, or reddish tints) caused by incandescent and synthetic materials
• Maintains optical clarity without compromising image quality
  
• Provides protective barrier for lens glass against dust and minor impacts
• Black finish matches professional Leica optics aesthetic
