Essential lens protection

The Vivitar VIV-UV-52 is a 52mm Ultra Violet filter designed to shield front elements from dust, moisture and scratches. It suits photographers who want a clear, colour-neutral guard for everyday shooting without altering exposure.

Reducing atmospheric haze

This filter replaces an unprotected front element or a lower-quality UV filter that may introduce flare. The jump is worth it when shooting distant vistas under daylight, where the glass cuts the bluish cast caused by haze and restores contrast.

Simple thread-on fitting

Installation takes seconds: align the 52mm threads and turn until snug, then store the filter in the supplied case. The only common issue is cross-threading if the filter is forced, so start the turn gently and keep the glass clean.

Questions about this item

Will the 52mm thread match my lens filter size?

Yes, the filter is manufactured with a 52mm thread that screws directly onto any lens marked with the same 52mm diameter.

What is the correct way to attach the filter without cross-threading?

Align the filter threads with the lens threads, turn gently clockwise until you feel the first engagement, then continue rotating smoothly until snug — forcing it causes cross-threading.

How should I clean the glass and store the filter to keep it scratch-free?

Use a blower to remove dust, then wipe with a microfibre cloth and lens fluid; always return the filter to the supplied case when not in use.
