Nisi 52mm L395 SMC UV Filter 5.2mm

SKU CH-S3QS-4ZYYS

Ultra-thin 5.2mm frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses while multi-coated optical glass protects the front element

  • Ultra-thin 5.2 mm frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses
  • Double-sided multi-coating reduces unwanted reflections for clearer images
  • High-quality Japanese optical glass delivers high transmittance
  • Protects front lens element from dust and damage
  • Front screw thread allows easy attachment of lens caps and accessories

What it is and who it fits

The Nisi 52mm L395 SMC UV Filter fits 52mm filter threads and shields the front element from dust, moisture and accidental knocks. Its ultra-thin 5.2mm aluminium frame reduces vignetting on wide-angle lenses, making it suitable for landscape and architectural photographers who need protection without corner darkening.

Upgrade from basic protectors

Standard UV filters often use thicker frames that cause vignetting on ultra-wide glass and lack multi-layer coatings that control flare. This filter replaces those with double-sided multi-coating on Japanese optical glass, so the jump is worth it when you shoot into bright light or stack a lens cap on the front thread.

Install and common issues

The knurled aluminium ring screws onto the 52mm thread smoothly and the front thread accepts a standard 52mm cap. Over-tightening can bind the ultra-thin frame, so stop when resistance rises; the dull-polished finish prevents the frame from blanching after repeated removal.

Questions about this item

Will the 5.2 mm ultra-thin frame clear my wide-angle lens hood?

The 5.2 mm frame is designed to minimise vignetting on super wide-angle lenses and the front thread accepts a standard 52 mm cap or hood.

Which way round does the multi-coated glass go when I screw it on?

The filter has identical multi-coating on both sides so orientation does not matter; just thread it onto the 52 mm lens threads until snug.

How do I clean the coated glass without damaging the 5.2 mm frame?

Use a blower, then a microfibre cloth with a little lens fluid; the knurled aluminium frame resists blanching from repeated handling.
