Marum 67mm UV Multicoat Filter

The Marumi 67mm UV Multicoat Filter is a classic clear protective filter that also helps reduce the effects of ultraviolet light, especially when shooting landscapes, travel scenes, and outdoor subjects in bright conditions. Designed to mount onto lenses with a 67mm front filter thread, it offers a simple way to preserve image quality while adding a practical layer of protection to the lens front element.

Compatible With

• Lenses with a 67mm front filter thread

Why Use a UV Filter

UV filters were traditionally used to reduce bluish cast and atmospheric haze caused by ultraviolet light in film photography. On modern digital cameras, their primary role is often lens protection, but they can still be useful in high-altitude, coastal, or hazy outdoor conditions. Because this is a clear filter, it is well suited for everyday shooting without significantly affecting exposure or color balance.

Multicoated Optical Performance

The multicoated construction helps reduce internal reflections that can otherwise lower contrast or introduce flare when working in bright light. This makes the filter a better choice than uncoated alternatives for photographers who want to keep a protective filter on the lens full time. Better transmission and lower reflectivity help maintain the lens's original rendering as much as possible.

Everyday Lens Protection

One of the biggest benefits of a UV filter is physical protection. The front element of a lens is vulnerable to fingerprints, blowing dust, sea spray, rain spots, and accidental contact. Adding a filter can make routine cleaning easier and can reduce the risk of minor scratches reaching the lens itself. For travel, event coverage, hiking, and day-to-day use, this extra barrier can be especially valuable.

67mm Fit and Practical Use

This filter is made for lenses with a 67mm filter diameter. Always confirm the thread size marked on the lens barrel or lens cap before purchasing. A properly matched filter threads on securely and can be used alone or as part of a broader protection kit with a lens cap, hood, and storage case. For many photographers, a 67mm UV filter is a staple accessory for standard zooms, telephoto zooms, and select prime lenses that share this common size.

Benefits Compared with Shooting Unfiltered

Using no filter provides one less glass surface in front of the lens, which some photographers prefer in controlled studio or low-risk conditions. However, a quality multicoated UV filter like this Marumi model strikes a strong balance between protection and optical integrity. Compared with basic single-coated or uncoated filters, a multicoated design is generally better at resisting flare and preserving contrast, particularly when shooting toward strong light sources.

Usage Tips

• Verify that your lens uses a 67mm filter thread before installation.
• Pair the filter with a lens hood for even better flare control and added physical protection.
• Clean with a blower first, then use a microfiber cloth or lens-safe cleaning tissue to avoid grinding dust into the surface.
• Remove and inspect the filter after shooting in salt spray, sand, or heavy rain.
• If stacking filters, be mindful that additional thickness may increase the chance of vignetting on some wider-angle lenses.

Recommended Accessories

• 67mm lens cap
• Lens hood matched to your specific lens
• Microfiber cleaning cloth

• Protective lens pouch or filter case
