👎 Cons
- This specific filter size is 72mm, meaning it will only fit lenses with a matching 72mm filter thread
- The UV filter type specifically protects against UV light and physical damage, but does not offer creative effects like polarizing or ND filters
- The advantages of a UV filter are less noticeable with modern digital sensors that are less sensitive to UV light than film
- While it reduces reflections, it doesn't completely eliminate all forms of glare or reflections
- The filter is a physical attachment, potentially adding a small amount of weight and bulk to the lens
