👎 Cons

  • The 43mm size is specific, meaning it will only fit lenses with a matching filter thread diameter.
  • While ultra-thin, adding any filter can still slightly increase the overall length of the lens setup.
  • Specific details on light transmission percentage or multi-coating layers (beyond "Super Multi-Coated") are not provided.
  • The benefit of "Super Multi-Coated" is general and specific performance metrics are not given, making it hard to compare with other coatings.
