  • Superfine knurled aluminium frame resists wear and stays easy to grip

55mm L395 UV filter for wide lenses

This 55mm round filter uses the L395 cut to absorb UV haze while protecting the front element from dust and damage. The ultra-thin 5.2mm frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle and super-wide lenses. Multi-coating on both sides of the optical glass maintains high transmittance and contrast. It suits photographers who want lens protection without degrading corner quality on wide glass.

Slim aluminium frame installs in seconds

The 5.2mm profile threads onto any 55mm filter ring without protruding far enough to hit most lens caps or hoods. Knurled edges give grip even with cold or damp fingers. Multi-coating repels water and oil, so smudges wipe clean with a microfibre cloth. Over-tightening can bind the thin ring; stop at finger-tight to avoid stuck threads.

Blocks UV below 395nm with headroom for stacked caps

The L395 coating transmits visible light freely while cutting the UV wavelengths that cause atmospheric haze in landscapes. Stacking a second filter or a snap-on cap stays practical because the frame adds only 5.2mm. Stacking more than one extra filter may introduce vignetting on ultra-wide focal lengths. The coating does not reduce visible-light exposure, so no compensation is needed.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the NiSi 55mm L395 SMC UV filter is working correctly after mounting it?

Check for sharp images with reduced UV haze and no vignetting on wide-angle lenses; the 5.2mm ultra-thin frame should sit flush without darkening corners.

What comes in the box with the 55mm L395 SMC UV filter and what must I buy separately?

The filter itself is supplied; a compatible 55mm lens cap or cleaning cloth is not included and must be purchased separately.

Which version of the NiSi UV filter should I choose for my 55mm thread lens?

Select the 55mm L395 SMC UV model; the 395 designation and 5.2mm frame thickness confirm it matches 55mm threads and wide-angle requirements.
