Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- New antistatic coating helps to actively repel dust, keeping the filter surface cleaner for longer durations.
- Hardened coating provides scratch resistance, offering protection against daily wear and tear.
- Stain resistant properties effectively guard against damage from exposure to ink, markers, and similar substances.
- Water repellent surface causes water to bead up, allowing for easy and clean removal from the filter.
- Fingerprints and smudges can be wiped away cleanly, maintaining optimal optical clarity without residue.
👎 Cons
- The 46mm size means this filter is only compatible with lenses that have a matching 46mm filter thread.
- This filter is specifically a protector, meaning it does not offer creative effects like polarization or variable ND.
- While scratch resistant, extreme impacts or abrasive materials could still potentially damage the hardened coating.
- The antistatic feature, while beneficial, does not eliminate all dust from the environment, only repelling it.
- Optimal cleaning requires appropriate lens cleaning solutions and cloths to fully leverage the stain and water repellent features.
