Key Features
BLOCK UV & IR RAYS FOR SHARPER, CLEANER IMAGES – This UV/IR cut filter eliminates unwanted UV rays below 390nm and IR rays above 700nm, which digital sensors often can’t filter. Improve color accuracy and image clarity.
MULTI-COATED GLASS FOR CRISP, REFLECTION-FREE RESULTS – Engineered with Hoya’s premium multi-coated optical glass minimizes reflections, ghosting, and lens flare. Whether you're photographing outdoor scenes or filming under bright lights, enjoy better clarity, contrast, and color fidelity.
ENGINEERED FOR UNFILTERED CCD and CMOS SENSORS - This is important because unfiltered sensors are extremely susceptible to UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that can have a very negative impact on image quality.
SCREW-IN DESIGN FOR EASY, SECURE ATTACHMENT – The precision-machined 49mm thread ensures a snug, hassle-free fit to your camera lens.
SLIM, LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME TO AVOID VIGNETTING – Built with a slim, durable aluminum frame, the UV/IR Cut filter prevents vignetting.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Effectively blocks unwanted UV rays below 390nm, improving image clarity and reducing haze.
- Filters out IR rays above 700nm, which digital sensors often struggle to filter, leading to more accurate colors.
- Utilizes premium multi-coated optical glass to minimize reflections, ghosting, and lens flare for clearer images.
- Engineered specifically for unfiltered CCD and CMOS sensors, which are highly susceptible to UV and IR interference.
- Features a precision-machined 49mm screw-in design for easy and secure attachment to compatible camera lenses.
- Constructed with a slim, durable aluminum frame that helps prevent vignetting in photographs.
👎 Cons
- This filter is specifically designed for 49mm camera lenses, limiting its compatibility with other lens sizes.
- While it blocks unwanted light, it does not offer creative effects like polarization or neutral density filtering.
- The filter's effectiveness is most pronounced on unfiltered CCD and CMOS sensors, potentially offering less benefit on sensors with built-in filtration.
- The slim frame, while preventing vignetting, may make it slightly more challenging to grip and attach compared to thicker frames.
- As an add-on, it requires careful handling and storage to prevent scratches or damage to the glass.
