Why use a protection filter?

A Protection filter does exactly what it sounds like: is protects the front of your lens. It is often said “you date your camera, but you marry your lenses”. Lenses represent one of the largest investments a person can make! Many photographers and videographers keep a protection filter on all of their lenses all the time.

A Protection filter can:

• Prevent an object from damaging your lens’s front element.
• Be a lot less expensive to replace than your lens if an object causes damage.
• Be easier to clean than your lens, due to special coatings which repel dirt, water, oil, or even dust (this is highly dependent on the type and grade of protection filter you purchase / not all protection filters use these extra special coatings).

This Basis protection filter protects your valuable lens without sacrificing clarity or sharpness. Basis filters represent a terrific value. They are optically excellent and affordable and deliver great results!

The Pure Light protection filter protects your valuable lens against the elements such as sand, dirt, oil, water, and even fingerprints without sacrificing clarity or interfering with the natural light transmitted to your camera.

Crafted for fine lenses, this professional line of protection filters features ultra-hardened glass and Repellemax II coating for ultimate lens protection. It passes 99.2% of light to your camera for excellent images in tough conditions.

A Circular Polarising Lens (CPL) filter is one of the most highly used filters in both still photography and videography. To imitate the effects of a polarising filter in post-production software is nearly impossible. With the right CPL on your lens, you can create effects for beautiful compositions.

A CPL can:

• Control reflections and/or reduce glare on non-metallic surfaces, like water, glass, glossy paint, etc.
• Improve colour saturation and contrast.
• Deepen/darken the blue colour of skies.
• Reduce the appearance of atmospheric haze when photographing distant objects and landscapes.

This circular polarising filter reduces or removes reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass. Colours will appear more saturated, with better contrast.

This high-transmission circular polarising filter removes reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, improving contrast without affecting colour balance.

Crafted for fine lenses, this professional line of circular polarising filters are individually ground, polished, and coated. Repels dirt and transmits brilliant light to achieve the clearest possible image.

In circumstances where UV light is particularly strong, at especially at high altitudes, UV light can create an unnatural bluish cast in your images or footage. High-cut UV filters block UV light, providing colour correction so that your camera sees what your eyes see.

This UV Filter blocks ultraviolet light and passes visible light - so your camera sees what you see. 

A Repellemax II Anti-static barrier resists dust, dirt, oil, water and fingerprints. While cutting-edge multi-coatings and black rimmed glass pass the clearest light to your sensor. Ultra-hardened glass with scratch resistant coating makes this filter strong and durable. Extremely high visible light transmission to your camera.

Shooting in bright sunlight can be challenging! Variable Neutral Density (VND) filters reduce the amount of light entering your camera in reductions of 1.3-8 stops (HGX), 2-8 stops (Basis) and 5.3-12 stops (HGX Extreme), allowing you to control bright conditions and achieve your desired shutter speed and aperture.

This professional, world-class high-density, variable ND filter with 1.3-8 stops of density range, provides a clear sharp image and is easy to use.

Infra Red Neutral Density (IRND) filters reduce the amount of visible light entering your lens, allowing you to use a wider aperture and slower shutter speed. Unlike standard ND filters, ProMaster IRND filters continue blocking infrared light at the same percentage as they block visible light, helping your camera’s sensor maintain accurate colour.

This professional ND filter reduces the amount of visible light entering your lens by a number of stops. It maintains a neutral colour and suppresses infrared light for sharp, clean imagery in still photography and videography .
