OVERVIEW

The Marumi 62mm FS Plus UV Filter is a practical, everyday lens accessory built for photographers who want both optical protection and reliable image quality. Designed to fit lenses with a 62mm front filter thread, this UV filter helps reduce the effects of ultraviolet light and atmospheric haze, which can be especially useful when shooting landscapes, seascapes, and distant scenes in bright outdoor conditions. On modern digital cameras, UV filtration is often secondary to its role as a clear protective barrier, making it a smart choice for preserving the front element of your lens during regular use.

Compatible With

  • Lenses with a 62mm front filter thread

Key Features

The FS Plus UV Filter is designed as a simple but highly useful addition to a camera bag. It mounts directly to any compatible 62mm lens and can be left on the lens most of the time for constant protection. The optical glass is intended to preserve sharpness and contrast while the filter itself acts as a first line of defense against dust, smudges, moisture, and accidental contact. This makes it especially appealing for photographers who shoot outdoors, travel frequently, or work in fast-moving environments where the lens front element can be exposed to hazards.

Why Use a UV Filter?

While digital sensors are less sensitive to ultraviolet light than film was, a UV filter still offers several meaningful advantages. It can help cut down on bluish cast and distant haze in some outdoor conditions, but more importantly for many photographers, it provides physical protection without significantly altering exposure or color. Instead of cleaning the lens front element directly every time it gets dusty or marked, you can clean the filter surface instead. If the filter becomes scratched or damaged, replacing it is typically far less costly than repairing a lens.

Optical Performance

Marumi has long been known for producing photographic filters that balance value and image quality. A good UV filter should remain unobtrusive in use, allowing your lens to perform naturally without introducing noticeable softness or color shift. The FS Plus UV Filter is intended for exactly that role: preserving the look of your lens while adding a transparent protective layer. It is suitable for everyday photography including portraits, travel scenes, street shooting, landscapes, and casual video applications.

Protection Benefits

One of the main reasons photographers keep a UV filter mounted is protection. The filter helps shield the lens from fingerprints, blowing sand, sea spray, light rain, and incidental knocks. This is especially useful when swapping lenses less often or when working in changing weather. For travel photographers and event shooters, having a protective UV filter in place can add peace of mind while keeping cleanup quick and simple.

Fit and Handling

The 62mm size is a common diameter used by many standard zooms, primes, and specialty lenses. Before purchasing, confirm that your lens barrel or lens cap indicates a 62mm filter thread. Once installed, the filter can generally remain on the lens while still allowing use of a standard lens cap. Its slim profile also makes it suitable for general-purpose use without adding significant bulk to your setup.

How It Compares to Other Filter Types

A UV filter differs from circular polarizers and neutral density filters because it is usually intended to stay on the lens all the time. Polarizers are used selectively to reduce reflections and deepen skies, while ND filters are chosen to reduce light for long exposures or wider apertures. A UV filter is the more universal, everyday option: simple, clear, and protective. Compared with a neutral clear filter, a UV filter offers a similar protection role with the added traditional benefit of ultraviolet suppression.

Usage Tips

For best results, keep the filter clean using a blower, soft brush, or microfiber cloth. Avoid overtightening it on the lens thread, especially if you plan to stack other accessories. If you shoot into strong light sources, using a lens hood along with the filter can help maintain contrast and reduce flare. Also make sure the filter thread size matches your lens exactly; in this case, the correct size is 62mm.

Recommended Accessories

To get the most from this filter, consider pairing it with a lens hood for added flare reduction and physical protection, a microfiber cloth for cleaning, a blower for dust removal, and a padded lens pouch or camera bag insert for safer transport. If you use multiple lenses with different filter sizes, step-up rings can also help standardize filter use across your kit, though direct-fit filters remain the most convenient solution.
