ZEISS82mm T* (UV) Ultraviolet Filter

Crystal clear, No color casting. Great protection for your expensive lens.

Exactly what you would expect from Zeiss - superb design, best quality materials, gold-standard craftsmanship, a pleasure to hold in the hand and admire.

Zeiss quality at Zeiss price. Sure you could get a cheaper one but when it comes to protecting my lens from debris and damage I won’t compromise for cost. I want something quality that will last and take a hit. Zeiss is it.

Use on my GFX 100S 80 1.7 lens.

A bit pricey but my lenses are Zeiss so it makes sense to use the same quality filter...

Good filter, but it didn’t come with instructions on how to put it on and there aren’t many Youtube tutorials on it either. They just assume you already know what to do, so I had a very hard time figuring out if I had it on right. The whole time I was installing it I was afraid of scratching my lens and the filter.

You need as good a filter for your lens, and this excellent piece protects my Sony/Zeiss 55mm Sonnar. I can see zero differences in quality with or sans this filter.

I bought the filter to reduce UV haze and to protect the front lens of my Sony SAL1685Z and SAL70300G lenses when taking outdoor shots. It's easy to mount the filter and it does the job without degrading picture quality. I'm satisfied with the quality, but I haven't compared it with other UV-filters. So I can't say if other products will give the same excellent picture quality for a lower price, or how much you have to compromise on picture quality.

Well made and appears to be well suited to use with Zeiss lenses. I have taken some test photos and it does seem to reduce colour fringing on the Zeiss lens we use, but I have not had the opportunity to really test the combination in high contrast situations.

I had previously ordered a Sigma 86 mm UV filter for my Zeiss Otus lens but the metal rim was thicker than usual and it prevented the lens hood from fitting over it. Although it cost much more, the Zeiss filter not only fits perfectly but you can tell from the ease with which it screws on that the metal and threading are top quality.Mostly, people want a UV filter simply to protect the front element of their lens, and I have heard it said that blocking the ultraviolet light from the sensor in a digital camera serves no purpose, but I'm convinced that it does. After working with ultraviolet light I have concluded that sensors are not only sensitive to UV but the colours in the Bayer mask can actually fluoresce.I have a powerful UV torch and I tested all the UV filters I have. This torch emits light below 400 nm (which is the upper limit of ultraviolet light) and, if shone on regular white paper, the paper fluoresces very strongly due to artificial whiteners. I therefore interposed each filter in turn and found that the Sigma UV filter did not obstruct the UV in the least, the Hoya ones reduced it to over a half but the Zeiss filters (I now have two) completely blocked all trace of UV. The transmission curve from Zeiss shows that full transmission starts at 400 nm and below that there is almost none.If you are going to place a piece of plane glass in front of your lens it must be as optically perfect as possible. Not only that, but it must not be the cause of reflections back and forth between it and the front element. Zeiss T* multicoating is unsurpassed in its efficiency and, when applied to many surfaces within a lens, can seriously increase light transmission. My Zeiss Hasselblad lenses transmitted twice as much light as their aperture would indicate (when using a hand-held meter). Wedding and portrait photographers knew this and simply exposed at one stop slower. This difference was due to the T* coating.Yes, it's more expensive than others but it performs much better. Would you compromise the performance of your expensive optics by placing a piece of inferior glass in front of it?

As I couldn't get hold of the B+W 010 UV Haze and Protection Filter T-Pro filter, I went with Carl Zeiss. Seems good quality and doesn't mess with clarity or colour. Can't complain!

I bought this for a Zeiss Touit 32mm lensMakes sense to keep an all Zeiss trasmission chainQuality looks good - haven't checked results and flarestars based on first impression and excellent reputation of Zeiss

I bought it to protect my lens.I tested its filtering capabilities with a UV lamp and it did quite well.I like the case it came in.
